The game does not have a reset mechanic, reducing player frustration and dropout rates. Office Cat features a secondary loop with a factory and production puzzles, a rich index to increase 'rich cat' status, and various management mechanics. The game has cleverly placed ads, including a rewarded ad for offline earnings, a lucky wheel, and a legendary chairman offer. The ad revenue from Office Cat is estimated to be around 30% of the total revenue. Office Cats generates the majority of its revenue from in-app purchases (IAP) rather than ads. The team experiments with different ways to promote the permanent ad removal option, offering it at a discount for a limited time. Users who purchase the ad removal option are more likely to make additional purchases in the game. The game has a small UA team and produces a variety of creatives, including playables and videos, with no set schedule. The retention rate for Office Cats is 35% on day 1 and 5% on day 30. --------------------------------------- Please share the podcast with your industry friends, dogs & cats. Especially cats!
