Kissa: Pixel Café is a cozy idle game for iPhone. Your cafe plays in a widget all day. Customers come and go on a real clock. Tap to collect what they spend, pick today’s special, and meet the regulars.

How it plays

  1. Put the cafe on your Home Screen

    Add the widget in small, medium or large. The cafe plays there all day, from morning light to night.

  2. Customers come on the clock

    One at a time, at a pace nobody can speed up. Each pays when they leave. Tap the gold button to collect.

  3. Specials, decor, regulars

    Pick today’s special and spend coins on decor. Some customers become regulars, and each one fills a page of your Book.

No hassle, on purpose

  • No ads

    Not in the widget, not in the app.

  • No streaks

    No fail state and no daily login. Missing a week costs nothing.

  • No energy, no timers to skip

    Nothing speeds customers up, not even money. Nobody can play harder, so nobody falls behind.

  • No account, no tracking

    Your cafe stays on your iPhone. It plays without the internet.

Questions

What is Kissa?

Kissa: Pixel Café is a cozy idle game for iPhone. A pixel-art cafe lives in a Home Screen widget, and customers visit it on a real clock. “Kissa” is short for kissaten, the Japanese word for an old-style coffee house.

How do I add the Kissa widget?

Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget. Search for Kissa, pick a size and tap Add Widget.

Is Kissa free? Does it have ads?

Kissa is free, with no ads. The first cafe comes with all its regulars, decor and widgets. Other cafes are one-time purchases. There is no subscription and nothing to buy that speeds the game up.

Do I have to play every day?

No. There are no streaks and no fail state. Customers keep coming while you’re away, and the app shows who visited when you’re back.

Can I make customers come faster?

No. Customers arrive at a fixed pace, the same for everyone. Today’s special and your decor change who comes, not how often.

Does Kissa work offline?

Yes. The game never uses the internet. You only need a connection to buy or restore a cafe through the App Store.

Which devices does Kissa run on?

iPhone with iOS 18 or later, iPhone Duo included: the app fits its cover screen and its inner screen. There is no Android version.

Does Kissa collect my data?

No. Kissa has no accounts, analytics or ads, and your cafe is saved only on your iPhone. Read the privacy policy.
