## Description

🐾 StrayDex turns real neighborhood cats into a collectible card game.<br><br>Walk around, spot a stray cat, and snap a photo. The app checks it&#39;s really a cat, cuts it out of the picture, and reads its fur color and pattern. Then you catch it in a short physics based mini-game: drag back a ball of yarn, feel it resist, and flick it at a shrinking ring on the cat&#39;s chest. Land a good throw and the cat is yours.<br><br>📸 Real cats, real photos. Every card starts from an actual stray cat you found.<br>🎯 A drag and flick throwing mechanic with a shrinking, color changing ring for real timing pressure.<br>✨ Four rarity tiers, Common to Legendary, that change how hard the catch is, not just how the card looks.<br>🃏 A growing collection tab, the Dex, with card style options and a rarity filter.<br>📈 Level up by catching cats to earn Linen Balls, the currency used to throw.<br>🎬 Optional rewarded video ads for extra throws. Never required, never rewarded unless you actually watch one.<br>📴 Fully playable offline. All cat detection and photo processing happens on your device, nothing is uploaded anywhere.<br><br>Get outside, find a cat, and start your collection.
