Boom Cat – Where Doom Meets Whiskers
How It All Began
Every project at Paintpool Studio starts with a spark. The Boom Cat was born from one of those “what if?” moments.
We were brainstorming ideas for a new project to enrich our visual portfolio: something bold, unexpected, and truly ours. Our CEO was playing Doom Eternal back then — its atmosphere, pacing, and music (by the legendary Mick Gordon) sparked the idea to capture a similar energy and intensity in a slot-game universe.
And then it hits us: millions of gamers loved Doom energy and intensity. But what else do all those people love in real life? Not work. Not meetings. Not cooking. CATS.
So, we thought, what if we merge the intensity of Doom with the internet’s favorite creatures? That’s how Boom Cat was born - a heavy-metal slot adventure where every monster gets a feline makeover, and the Boom Kitty as a main character.
From Idea to Implementation
Since we’re an art and animation outsourcing studio, not a development company, we looked for an existing slot structure that matched our creative idea. The goal was to create a fan-art but on the basis of existing slot game.
We found the perfect base: Barbarossa DoubleMax by Peter & Sons, a brilliant example of creative mechanics and visual charm. Using it as a framework, we crafted most visuals to fit the feline apocalypse we envisioned.

A Word from the Studio
We’re not a studio that mass-produces slot designs for sale. Our main passion is creating stunning visuals and animations for the iGaming industry. Boom Cat started as an internal art project and finished as a way for our artists to explore, experiment, and simply have fun.
