Aqui Há Gato
Aqui Há Gato (Here there are cats, and dogs too) is a logic puzzle game inspired by Star Battle. It started as a conversation with our kids, took shape in a chat with Claude, and became a complete game built in React, with its own characters, sound and procedurally generated boards.

The goal was to turn a family idea into a real, playable game without a traditional development team. The puzzle logic, rules and difficulty had to be clear and fun for both kids and adults, and the whole concept had to be validated before writing a single line of code.
We shaped the game in a normal Claude chat, then moved to Claude Code to build it: procedural board generation, a difficulty system and original sound, all in React. The three characters, Chaquito, Bety and Panty, along with the moodboard and visual assets, were created with GPT Image 2.0.
