CatPath

Cat Path* is a relaxing "merge & idle earnings" game. Players buy and raise cute cats in a parking lot, merge identical cats to upgrade them, let cats run around the track to earn coins automatically, and unlock higher-level cats to build your very own cat fleet. ### 2. Core Gameplay **1. Buy Cats** - Tap the "Buy Cat" button at the bottom, or open the Cat Mall, to spend coins on a Level-1 cat. - New cats are automatically parked in an empty parking slot (12 slots total, arranged in 3 rows and 4 columns). - Every time you buy a cat of a certain level, the price of that level rises by 20%. Higher-level cats cost much more. - Some advanced cats (Level 7 and above) are purchased with Diamonds (see the Mall for details). **2. Merge & Upgrade (Core Mechanic)** - Drag a cat and drop it onto another cat of the **same level** in a parking slot. The two cats merge and upgrade to the **next level**. - There are 30 cat levels in total. Higher levels look fancier, earn more coins, and run faster. - Level 29 is the maximum level; it cannot be merged further. - Merging triggers an upgrade animation and sound effect. **3. Run & Earn** - Drag a cat to the starting line of the track (the area highlights when ready), and the cat will automatically start running around the loop. - Cats run automatically; every lap completed pays out coins. - **Up to 10 cats can run at the same time.** - Higher-level cats earn more coins per second and take less time per lap. - Tap a running cat to stop it and send it back to its slot. - The top-left corner shows your current total income (coins/second). **4. Recycle Cats** - Drag a cat to the "Recycle" zone in the bottom-right corner to sell it for 100 coins and free up its slot. - This is handy for clearing out spare low-level cats. ### 3. Advanced Systems **1. Speed Boost** - Tap the "Boost" button to enable 2x speed; all running cats earn coins twice as fast. - Watch an ad to get 3 minutes of boost (up to 5 times per day). - You can also buy boost time with Diamonds in the Diamond Shop. **2. Lucky Wheel (Lottery)** - Tap the "Lottery" button to spin the wheel for random rewards. - You get **1 free draw** per day, plus up to **3 ad-based draws** per day. - Possible rewards: - 1 hour / 2 hours of offline earnings - Diamonds ×8 / ×18 / ×88 - 3 minutes of speed boost **3. Offline Earnings** - Cats keep producing coins even while you are away from the game. - When you return, an "Offline Earnings" pop-up shows the coins earned while offline (about 5% of online income). - Watch an ad to collect **2x** offline earnings. **4. Daily Gift** - Claim a Diamond gift every day for 7 consecutive days; the amount grows daily (10–50 Diamonds). - Watch an ad to double the day's gift. **5. Falling Treasure Chests** - A treasure chest occasionally drops from the sky during gameplay. Tap it to get a free cat. - You can open up to 7 chests per day. **6. Cat Unlocks** - When you merge a new, higher-level cat, an "Unlocked" pop-up shows off the new cat's appearance. - Cats in the Mall unlock progressively as your level rises; locked cats appear greyed out. **7. Diamond Shop** - Diamonds are the premium currency, earned via lottery, daily gifts, ads, and more. - Spend Diamonds on advanced cats, offline-earnings time, or speed-boost time. **8. Leaderboards** - World and Friend leaderboards let you compete with other players on total coins. **9. Running Low on Coins?** - If you can't afford a cat, a pop-up offers to watch an ad for a one-time coin top-up (up to 5 times per day). ### 4.
