About
About This Game
The game adopts card-based gameplay as its core, blending the intense excitement of tower defense (TD) with the extreme challenges of survival mechanics. Through the free combination of Guardians, Item Cards, and Combat Cards, you can customize a unique strategy, experiencing unparalleled freedom, exhilarating battles, and tense real-time tactical deployment!
Regarding gameplay features:
Challenge Mode
Interesting Tower Defense Terrain:
Five distinct types of maps, with a total of 25 battle levels. Each map type comes with its own gameplay mechanics, and nighttime levels are particularly dangerous, so be careful!
The game offers players over 300 cards to play with! Among them, there are nearly 100 combat cards, over 20 zombie cards, and more than 80 item cards. As you progress through different levels, you’ll unlock unique Cat Heroes, item cards, and combat cards—each with their own special abilities. When facing various types of zombies, strategic planning and optimal placement are key to victory.
Before each level begins, the strategic pairing of Guardians, Combat Cards, and Item Cards could be the decisive factor in your success. The game allows free card placement, and positioning is critical when battling zombies—optimal arrangements often determine victory. Multi-card synergies must be carefully deployed, with a balanced mix of offensive and defensive cards typically proving most effective.
Different battle cards have varying attack ranges, effects, and battle special effects. Come and see which weapon feels the best to use!
Daytime levels allow you to clearly see all movements on the battlefield, but the darkness of nighttime levels increases difficulty and creates a sense of tension. Can you conquer the level with low visibility?
Can you complete the task of collecting all the fish snacks in each level? You can replay the levels where you haven’t collected all the fish snacks to achieve full star completion. Be a perfectionist and achieve great feats!
Survival Mode
You can use cat cards to interact with various scene cards encountered randomly through exploration, obtaining different resources to complete daily collection tasks. Leave behind important resources and sell temporarily useless ones to accumulate wealth.
Once you have enough resources, you can build various battle cards in the shop to defend the Tree of Hope. We have cat-building cards that can train cats with different abilities, functional building cards that improve the quality of cat life and increase wealth accumulation, defensive cards that can block and delay zombies, and weapon cards that deal various types of damage to zombies. Which battle cards to prioritize depends on your strategy.
When night falls, zombies with various abilities will roar in from all directions. With a common goal to attack the Tree of Hope, they will try to turn the Meowx planet into a zombie planet.
You can train cats with various abilities to create your own Meow Sea tactics. Alternatively, you can build high walls to tightly surround the Tree of Hope, adopting a conservative and cautious approach. Or, if you believe that offense is the best defense, you can go all out and build weapon cards. The optimal strategy is up to you to discover through practice.
Once you have enough wealth, you can upgrade the Tree of Hope. As it grows, cats will be able to explore a broader world and gather more precious resources.
He is a mysterious merchant wandering the Meowx planet. After a certain time, he will arrive with his magical cards. Although he loves the Meowx planet, he also loves money, so remember to prepare enough gold coins to trade with him before he arrives.
You can check the card and zombie encyclopedia to learn about the characteristics of over 200 different cards in the game.
Occasional failures are a good way to test and optimize strategies. Even after successfully completing levels, you can start again and experiment with various new tactics—whether meticulous, interesting, or outrageous. Everything is possible; it’s up to you to create!
Encountering bad weather will increase the survival difficulty for cats. During these times, you need to prepare in advance by building necessary functional buildings to help them through tough situations.
Viruses don’t appear without reason. When cat plague spreads in the village, cats will begin to die one by one, and you will need to cure the plague and save the village.
In the new levels of the level mode, there will be special gameplay elements with different battle terrains. You will encounter events such as traps in the forest, monster attacks from the lake, and more.
Perhaps you’ll be ambushed by zombies during daytime exploration, or you might experience a rare encounter that grants you a precious rare card. You may also come across a temple and gain magical powers.

塔防闯关,运营生存,含猫量很高,还是挺有意思的。个人还是更喜欢生存,一玩几个小时就过去了
很不错的独立游戏,虚幻引擎制作的。刚开始玩可能会云里雾里,入门难度小高,第二关就开始出现GAME OVER。得反复琢磨,逐渐上手,主要玩的生存模式,研究过商店里的卡牌后,发现战术组合可以有很多种 目前我只尝试了全武器卡牌,和武器加防御 猫猫战术需要大量食物,本身不大爱种田,打算后面有时间再慢慢尝试
开头略有一些简陋,但诚意满满!刚入手可能不太懂,但更新了新手引导后可玩性大大增强。三个人制作的独立游戏让我看到了国产游戏制作人的创新性和艺术性。属于体量虽小但内容丰富,特别是插画的猫猫非常奈斯。个人非常喜欢!希望大家能入手试试看。三十块钱买不了吃亏买不了上当。请大家多多支持卡牌猫,您们的支持,就是制作组的动力源泉!
也不知道是游戏做的有问题还是我玩不明白, 塔防模式防御塔会掉血,第二关初见都没法过,之后试了几次都没法三星,第一次见这么“硬核”的塔防。 生存模式一眼阉割版堆叠大陆,玩了快一个小时没发现怎么造小猫,我还特意看了两遍教程(就算能造也是游戏指引没做到位) 建个培育室直接把我两只大猫变成两只没法工作的小猫了,培育室还没了(也不知道是BUG还是游戏设定)我直接???什么“返老还童室”。之后我也探索了几次平原/大陆,也没见什么地方能蹦出猫来。别告诉我要用两只猫通关,保卫世界树全得靠建筑。生产力固定(虽然敲建筑不要工人),每天敌人数量倍增,纯折磨自己。
说下整体感受吧,因为是先玩的闯关模式,感觉像塔防游戏,但是卡牌的位置可以一直移动,算是难度降低了很多,但是感觉有很多卡牌都是用不上的(可能是我的打法有关),基本只用一些固定的卡牌,手动攻击的卡牌我不知道有没有人用过,但我用过一次之后我再也没使用了(一次性的武器太费金币了),总体难度并不算高,不过有几关线路特别短算是难度比较高;还有就是我很喜欢自带的猫守卫,猫总体能帮我解决每关里30%以上的僵尸,很好用,但也分种类,有几个猫就是纯肉靶子,容易挂得很,还得是一寸长一寸强。总体来说还是蛮推荐的,个人能给个80分
在阿b直播上看到的,刚开始觉得开发小姐姐声音挺温柔,画面也不错就入了。 结果发现玩起来还挺硬核的,有点难度,蛮需要技术的。
玩过这游戏的DEMO觉得在创意上还是很有想法,看着价格不贵,上线就入了。 陆陆续续玩了一天,整体体验良好。 感觉这版自动化提高了许多,牌的种类也多出几倍,生存模式依然很硬核,对于小体量游戏完成度还是不错的。当然可以优化的地方也有,例如兵力的召集,我喜欢弄很多猫出来,到晚上想打群架,不同的兵种调配起来手速就有点吃力了。 还有我强烈要求添加一个猫猫食物需求量的提醒功能,我可怜的猫猫经常因为食物不够在夜晚来临时惨烈暴毙。 总体来说呢,希望制作组有长线运营的考虑,给玩家带来更多的优化,这样才能获得正向循环,我会继续关注的。
很有趣,好像找到读书时候玩植物大战僵尸的沉迷感,上瘾得忘记上厕所忘记吃饭
新品节意外发现的demo 尝试游玩后感觉还挺新颖的。 出正式版后游玩了2h+闯关模式,卡牌数量非常多,可以选择的防御策略也相当多。 可自由移动的塔还蛮需要操作的 经常手忙脚乱。 但是部分操作无快捷键之类的小问题也存在,百科中寻找目标卡牌有点麻烦,希望后续可以优化。 总体感受OK。支持国产独立游戏~加油
