Gaming Cat achieves US number one rankings with casual puzzle games

Gaming Cat, a Japan based remote game developer, has achieved significant global success with its casual titles. The company’s puzzle game, ‘Jigsolitaire’, reached number one on the free game rankings for both the App Store and Google Play in the United States in December 2025, and also secured top rankings in over 25 countries.

The company utilizes a unique organizational structure where small teams of approximately five people operate with high autonomy. Each team leader is responsible for the entire lifecycle of a project, from initial planning to the decision to withdraw from a market. This approach allows individual members to function like independent business owners.

In addition to mobile successes, Gaming Cat is expanding its portfolio. The company is set to release the horror adventure game ‘Giggleland’, developed by the indie studio Hooked, on Steam in October 2026.
