Our take on Tigey's Gift
Its defining structure is a five-ball feeding mechanic: each ball represents something given to Tigey, while higher scores reveal more of her story through short films.
What is Tigey's Gift?
Tigey's Gift is a ping-pong-style arcade puzzle game based on the developer's memories of Tigey, a cat that lived for eight months with cerebellar hypoplasia.
Players shoot five types of balls to provide tuna, catnip, love, toys, and water. Each turn takes about 20 minutes, with challenge increasing as player skill grows. Passive rewards can add to the score, and repeated play centers on surpassing previous results. Higher scores unlock more of Tigey's story through short films. The game presents this personal story through a score-focused arcade format rather than a walking simulator. Achievements add further challenges for players pursuing specific goals.
