    Cute! and perfect for ADHD

    I have horrible ADHD. Studying is HARD for me because I instinctively jump to different ideas or sit and stare at my screen. This gives me motivation!

    cute and functional!

    this has given me a great motivational kick lately 🐱 the game part reminds me of a cross between “good pizza, great pizza” and “neko atsume” which is a very cozy combo :3
