Feed the Cat Food Sort

Feed the Cat Food Sort is a standalone Food Sort-based cat-care puzzle experiment split from the Matchy Cat exploration. The player should clear food-sorting/match-3 tray puzzles to generate food/care progress for a cat, testing whether the cat-care fantasy gives purpose to a Food Sort mechanic without inheriting Matchy Cat’s match-3 control friction or broader care-system complexity.

Current State

Focus: Feed the Cat Food Sort — CrazyGames Basic Launch Baseline
Setup: Ready
Primary Reference: Food Sort: Puzzle Game
Reference Thesis: Feed the Cat Food Sort should use Food Sort: Puzzle Game as the primary reference for the core interaction: players sort/match food items in trays, clear groups of three identical foods, and progress through increasingly challenging tray arrangements. The cat-care layer should add purpose and payoff to cleared food without obscuring the simple Food Sort decision loop or importing Matchy Cat’s broader care-system complexity.
Reference Alignment: Use Food Sort as the mechanic reference, not Foot Sort. Current evidence supports tray-based food sorting/match-3 clears, simple swipes/taps, increasing tray challenge, colorful food variety, and quick casual levels. Treat conveyor belts, juicer, or other later mechanics mentioned in review text as candidates for later inspection rather than baseline requirements. Matchy Cat lineage is limited to fantasy/presentation learning: one clear cat need, lightweight payoff, and avoiding Patience/recovery/Bonding complexity.
Open Questions: Does the existing Feed the Cat Food Sort web baseline show sufficient audience fit on CrazyGames to justify further investment?
Next Actions: Pause product iteration. Prepare an unchanged-baseline CrazyGames submission if marketing readiness earns a slot in the 4–5 game batch; record the exact chosen build.
Latest Findings: Latest Poki Player Fit for foodsort-build006.zip: average session 107.4s, p90 212.8s, median 70.0s, under-3m sessions 83.8%, Poki start rate 82.2%. · User assessment: the quick buyable-upgrade test did not provide a compelling next iteration. · Exact build attribution for this assessment is not confirmed here: the stored experiment was created after the latest imported build006 capture and still described pending submission. Do not claim build006 definitively measured the store experiment. · The station-store hypothesis remains inconclusive; no further progression development this week. Existing-build CrazyGames testing is a separate portal-fit question.

Active Hypotheses

A Food Sort-style tray matching loop will be easier for players to understand than the Matchy Cat match-3 branch, and the cat-feeding fantasy can give the sorting clears a stronger purpose if the care layer stays lightweight and visible.

Matchy Cat evidence showed immediate match-3 rejection/control friction in many short sessions, while Color Cat Care suggested sorting-like mechanics are easier to understand but can become boring by puzzle 2-3. Food Sort may combine stronger food theme fit with a simple sorting/match-3 tray loop; the first experiment should isolate that baseline before adding deeper care or progression systems.
