Neko Atsume is a game released back in October 2014 for the Android and iOS phones. According to PCmag.com, the rating is 3.5/5 due to less interaction. Other ratings such as iTunes give it 4.5/5 stars. The game consists of collecting cats (currently 49, 17 of them special). You buy items for the cats, place them in your yard and let them play with it. If a cat consistently returns to your yard, you will receive a special memento from that cat. Although the game may not be quite addicting as other games such as Disney’s Tsum Tsums or Candy Crush, you can still play this game and not get distracted from your studies. Just like Pokemon, “Gotta catch em’ all!”
