Happy Cat Tavern is a free educational game developed by OnyxHeart. In this fun and casual typing game, you start playing as Batou: a jolly yellow cat who wants to drink as many milkshakes as he can. Each glass is a word that you have to type in before the time runs out. As you progress, the time moves faster and the words grow longer.

Its cute cartoonish graphics make Happy Cat Tavern a modern alternative to classic typing games like HangARoo or BookWorm. However, this one focuses on your hand-eye coordination as you type the words that appear on the screen.

A simple premise for a fun game

Right from the start, Happy Cat Tavern looks like a flash game with its 2D graphics, a singular setting, and a simple game premise. For every word you type, your cat gets to drink another glass full of milkshakes. It’s a typing test masked with cute cats, which will definitely appeal to cat lovers everywhere. It’s bright, colorful, and just cozy overall.

This game actually has a lot of features despite its simple premise. To start, there are three difficulty levels plus a mirrored mode where all words are mirrored yet you have to type them in the right order. Additionally, stats are recorded for each difficulty level plus a set of achievements to unlock. Lastly, there are more cats aside from Batou. That alone is enough reason to grind this game.

There are also small details that make the game more enjoyable, such as the empty glasses stacking as you progress more and the audience behind you (more cats, too) getting excited as you complete chains of correct words. The only drawback in this game is a slight glitch where completing the word right as the timer ends usually doesn’t count. Aside from this slight timing issue, the game is great.

Perfect for typists and cat people

Its simple mechanics and greatly drawn cats, both the main characters, servers, and the audience all make Happy Cat Tavern a perfect casual game for cat people and typists everywhere. Adding a warm, cozy environment and a lot of achievements to grind for to an otherwise bland typing tool, devs behind this game turn it into something fun and addictive. Highly recommended.
