Coco the cat sets out to recover the fifth coin lost deep in the forest. On a single-lane board you stack moves and release them together. Positioning each turn and building "paint, then strike" combos decide every fight — a roguelite meets tactics. STACK MOVES, STRIKE AS ONE Queue up to three moves. They fire in order, and chaining two or more adds combo damage. Queuing costs a turn. The number above each enemy is turns until it attacks — wait, hit, or step back. PAINT, THEN STRIKE Poison first, then hit for a follow-up. Freeze first, then shatter for a big break. Open a gap, then pierce for the critical. Pair a "paint" move with a "strike" move and the same skill deals several times the damage. EVERY FORK, A DIFFERENT RUN Battle, elite, rest, merchant, event. Pick your path on a branching map through 5 regions and 50 waves. A chapter boss guards the end of each region — the Slime King, the Twin-Headed Weathercock, the Crimson Parasol, the Frost Guardian and the Obsidian Dragon. Two of them wait over every region, and which one takes the seat changes from run to run. 26 SKILLS, 60 RELICS, 113 ENEMIES Skills come in five rarities. Relics are active and passive, 60 in all, including boss relics that pair a great power with a real price. Enemies change with each region, and up to six rush you in the deep. Across 25 roadside events you can even take on a curse to claim a higher-tier relic. FALL, THEN COME BACK STRONGER Cat Souls gathered on the road go into the seven blessings of the Cat Shrine — Prayer of Vitality, Merchant's Bond, Art of Skill and more. Every point makes the next run easier. Rebuild your starting deck in the Armory, let go of a skill at the merchant to sharpen it further, and raise the difficulty through thirteen Ascension levels. DAILY GOALS AND THE DAILY RUN Three goals a day. The once-a-day Daily Run shares one seed with everyone, so you compete on the same board. Ranks, titles and 33 achievements make your progress visible. EASY TO PICK UP - Portrait, one-handed - Playable offline - Close mid-run and resume where you left off - 9 languages: Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese And past the ending, one more finish waits without a name. Soft cat art, hard-nosed fights. Join Coco and bring back the fifth coin.
