Cat 3

The release date for Cat 3 is July 20, 2026, for PC. This indie strategy title blends the classic tile-swapping loop with a roguelite structure, tasking you with matching alien cats to defeat waves of cosmic enemies and powerful bosses. Players choose from four distinct heroes like Peridot, who focuses on gold generation, or French Fry, who prioritizes aggressive damage buffs to clear the board.

Success depends on drafting stacking upgrade cards between waves to create chain reactions. Rather than just clearing tiles, you are building a synergistic engine where one swap can trigger automated damage or lifesteal effects. The strategic tension comes from managing enemy telegraphs and using consumable items like the Catnip Bomb to survive tight board states. Grab this if you want a familiar puzzle mechanic transformed into a high-stakes drafting game.
