The CatKraft title screen: a stone farmhouse with a red roof, blossom trees, a patch of turnips and a ginger cat in overalls on the path

Grow turnips. Catch fish. Be a cat.

CatKraft is a cozy pixel-art farming game where you play a cat. Plant your fields, craft your tools, dig down the mine, fish the streams and build a little town of cats, one season at a time. Bring up to three friends on the same screen.

Watch 30 seconds of CatKraft

Turnips, a falling tree, a carp from the pond, a slime in the mine, a walk through town, four cats at once, a summer storm and a night on the farm. All of it straight from the game, sound on.

A day in the life of a farm cat

Wake up, feed yourself, water the turnips, and see where the day takes you. Go to bed before 2 AM, or you'll pass out in a field.

Farming

Hoe it, plant it, water it

Till the soil, plant your seeds and water them every morning. Turnips are ready in three days. Pull them up, drop them in the shipping bin, and you're paid when the sun comes up.

The crafting menu open beside the farmhouse: Turnip Soup, Copper Bar, Iron Bar, Copper Pickaxe and Copper Axe
Crafting and building

Make it yourself

Chop trees, pick up pebbles, and turn them into soup, tools, chests, fences and whole new rooms for your house. Build walls, floors, doors and windows wherever you like.

Mining

Down the ladder

Every floor of the mine goes a little deeper and gets a little stranger: copper, then iron, then glowing mana crystals. Bring a sword. Something down there doesn't like cats.

Fishing

A cat with a fishing rod

Craft a rod and cast at the farm pond, the forest stream or the sea. When something bites, reel it in on the green. Eight kinds of fish, and which ones you catch depends on the water and the season.

Your own town

A whole colony of cats

Visit the town to shop, chat and bring presents. Then build houses of your own and town cats move in. Give each one a job on the job board, and overnight they farm, mine, chop and fill the storehouse. Set a guard, though: the foxes come out at night.

Weather and seasons

Rain, snow and rainbows

Spring, summer, fall and winter each bring their own crops. Rain waters your fields for you and leaves puddles to splash through. Snow keeps your paw prints. And sometimes, after the rain, there's a rainbow.

The screen split four ways: four cats, each with their own view, fishing and exploring

Up to four cats, one screen

Plug in some gamepads and press A to join as your own cat. The screen splits so everyone gets their own view. You share the farm, the clock and the coins, and each cat keeps its own bag.

  • Pick your cat's fur, stripes, eyes, outfit and hat
  • Join or leave any time; your cat keeps its things
  • Keyboard and gamepads both work

Made by Matt and his kids

CatKraft is a family project, made in Godot by Matt and his kids. Think Stardew Valley, with bits of Necesse, older Pokémon and older Final Fantasy, and cats.

That's why there's an item designer in it. Draw your own thing, pixel by pixel, and it turns up in your bag and on the crafting menu.
