Various types of cards

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.

Strategic Challenges

Before each level begins, the strategic pairing of GuardiansCombat 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.

Day-Night Cycle

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?

Full Star Completion

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

Daily Exploration

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.

Card Construction

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.

Sneaky Enemies

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.

Tactical Deployment

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.

Gameplay Upgrades

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.

Mysterious Merchant

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.

Encyclopedia

You can check the card and zombie encyclopedia to learn about the characteristics of over 200 different cards in the game.

Highly Replayable

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!

Climate Challenges

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.

Plague Outbreak

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.

Complex Battle Terrain

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.

Random Events

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.
