Caticon: Gentle Memory Game

Caticon is a calm memory game for people who have never played on a phone. My mom is 89, and she plays it with pleasure.

My name is Igor Morozov. I made Caticon for my mom: a simple game that keeps the mind from getting rusty and passes the time in a useful way. A few minutes a day is enough.

The idea comes from "The Fly", a classic Soviet attention exercise from the 1980s: a fly starts in the centre of an imaginary 3×3 board, and you say "Stop!" the moment it leaves the board.

HOW IT WORKS
• Press Take the first step: Caticon disappears, and arrows show where it jumps.
• Keep the path in your mind and press Step while it's still on the board.
• Press Stop the moment it leaves the board. Too soon is "Too Early!", too late is "Too Late!".
One round takes 1 to 3 minutes.

EASY TO START, INTERESTING TO GET BETTER
Easy is gentle. In Custom you choose the board size and how long each arrow stays on screen. Every game is saved in Statistics on your phone, so you can see your progress.

SIMPLE AND HONEST
• No ads and no in-app purchases
• Works offline: no Wi-Fi, no account, no sign-up
• No data collected
• Large buttons, high contrast, no flashing

WHY IT ISN'T FREE
There are thousands of free games, and most of them live on ads and pushy purchases. Caticon costs a symbolic price, less than a cup of coffee. This small payment is a sign that it isn't throwaway junk. It's a useful and simple product, made as if for myself, one I'm not ashamed to sell.

A SMALL GIFT FOR MOM OR DAD
Install it on your parent's phone and play one round together. They'll feel that you care.

Caticon is a game, not a medical product, and it makes no health claims.
Paid once, no subscription. Android 7.0 and newer.
