Panic-Demic

This is a unique game that deconstructs the classic card stacking premise popularized by Solitaire. We’ve created strategic gameplay by adding a second deck of support cards, which also includes their vehicle tokens, randomly requested by the classic suites of cards.

The object of the game is too quickly place all of the various card suites into their respective houses and avoid an impending time penalty enforced by the Joker card. So keep an eye on each house's time meters and add another card before it becomes depleted. A limited amount of health power-ups are provided to help keep the Joker card at bay, so use them wisely.

The core single card deck gameplay comes in five fun game board skins and is free to download. As a bonus, enjoy playing without any interference from annoying ads. The deluxe strategic version, “Panic-demic,” is available as an $1.99 USD in-app purchase. Please purchase to $help$ support our game development work on this project.

Panic-demic received an honorable mention from the prestigious BuildBox | Kwalee sponsored world game jam competition that ended on Mother’s Day 2020. Only 30-days to complete a hyper-casual game and gift mom her mother’s day present!
Win/Win ;)

*Note: This App Store version of Panic-demic was recreated in Unity Technology’s game engine after being rapid prototyped using BuildBox’s nocode game engine. Both are amazing tools!

Also, our talented 17-year-old game developer, Catch Fehst, has been featured in numerous interviews about his awareness game creation work and neurodiversity inclusion advocacy. Catch has a rare brain inflammation affliction called P.A.N.D.A.S. Syndrome, which is commonly misdiagnosed as being autism. It may be treatable during the early adolescent years. However, accepting a misdiagnosis for too long almost ensures you will be stuck with it for life.


REVIEWS…

"I believe strongly in inclusion in games, whether we are talking about players or game makers. The world is diverse, we are all unique, but something we all have in common is the need to play, to belong, to self-express, to connect with others - and games are a great medium for all that."

- Drussila Hollanda-Grönberg, Project Lead at Supercell | Creator of Hay Day -

"From self-isolation due to an illness to social isolation due to a pandemic...from the debilitating effects of P.A.N.D.A.S. to the ingenious creation of Panic-Demic...from the darkness to the light...we will all overcome..."

- Melanie Weiss, RN | P.A.N.D.A.S. Syndrome Awareness Advocate -

“Congratulations on this wonderful achievement!! I fully appreciate your game and the fantastic potential it has for these troubled times. However, I am unable to give you an inspirational quote because my autistic brain has difficulty with both games and emotions.”

- David Rowland, Neuroscientist | Autism Expert -

"There aren't many apps that are created out of the pure goodness of someone's heart. However, Catch's Panic-demic is an exception. The game marries fun design and social awareness seamlessly. Catch is the gold standard of a brilliant developer."

- Carissa Lintao, Apptuitive Founder & CEO -

“Catch Fehst has done something most incredibly remarkable. Firstly, he has created a cool game showcasing his talents as a game designer and creator. Secondly, Catch has turned disadvantage into advantage--taking his disability, but not letting it stop him, instead using it as a driver to channel his talents into creative endeavours--game development. In paraphrasing an old maxim, rather than curse the darkness and bemoan his fate, Catch has led by lighting a light. Both are superfragilisticsuperalidocious...Bravo!”
