When social greeting apps were all the rage on Facebook back in 2007, we assembled a small team to build apps that would serve as a catalyst for social interaction. Thus Catalyst Apps was born. While many of these ultra casual apps experienced explosive growth, we decided we wanted to create apps with deeper engagement and monetization potential. Pet City was one such app that eventually morphed into an elaborate game and became the company’s flagship boutique game product with a very devoted player base. After 7 years of live ops with Pet City, we’ve accumulated considerable know-how in the pets nurture / decorate genre which we plan to springboard to greater success with follow up titles. We also plan to launch a new puzzle game in the near future to extend our female centric games focus.
