You will play as a powerful, lightning-wielding cat, defeating monsters, clearing stages, and claiming victory! The game’s unique feature is the ability to choose a combat specialty, allowing you to upgrade and use various electric abilities to battle waves of enemies. This is a fast-paced, roguelike action game with smooth controls and a focus on character development. Key Features: ■ Level Up and Random Skills On your first level-up, you will choose a combat specialty, such as active skills, shooting attacks, or auto-attacks. This will become your primary focus as you progress. Each time you level up, you will receive 1 skill point. Accumulate skill points to upgrade your specialty and randomly acquire new skills. Level 1 requires 1 point, level 2 requires 2 points, and level 3 requires 3 points, with level 3 being the max. Extra skill points will convert into basic stat boosts. You also have a chance to earn skill points from other trees, with lifesteal being a recommended choice. ■ Controls In addition to basic left-right movement and jumping, you can perform shooting and skill attacks. Using skills consumes MP, which regenerates over time. After learning auto-attacks, approaching enemies will trigger automatic attacks. ■ Multiple Maps and Difficulty Levels The game features several maps with various difficulty levels, from Easy and Hard to Insane. On each map, you must challenge 6 stages. The higher the difficulty, the more HP and damage enemies have, while the number of lives you can use decreases. Running out of lives will force you to restart the challenge. In higher difficulties, each time you choose a new ability, it will have a quality bonus (+1 ~ +10), significantly increasing its power. As the difficulty rises, precise control and obtaining high-quality abilities will become crucial. The game offers numerous unique stages, distinctive monsters, and an intense challenge. Whether you're a child or an adult, this game is suitable for all ages and packed with fun!
