Today, a new mini-game was launched on TON. It is called CatsXwar, a cat-themed tower defense game.
Basic information and features are described below:
1. Tower defense game, similar to Carrot Fantasy. Many people have played this type of game, and it is easy to get started. However, the game‘s local language is English, so Chinese users need to spend time to get familiar with it.
2. Compared with popular games such as Catizen, Hamster Kombat, PixelTap, etc., CatsXwar has improved its gameplay by several levels and is very fun. In addition, the art and UI are also great and of high quality.
3. The game is yet not well-known, its team background is unclear, and there is no information about its team,investor, etc.
4. The official X account first posted on May 24th, and currently has 31,000 followers and 15,800 Telegram followers.
5. In June, the project held a test whitelist event with OKX WEB3 wallet, Bitget wallet, OpenBlock wallet, etc.
6. Project official website: https://catsxwar.com/

My subjective opinion: Very fun
1. It doesn’t look like a makeshift team. The game is made very seriously and the team’s game-making strength should be the best among TON game teams. But there is no public information about the team. According to gossip, the team is very strong.
2. The project plans to participate in the fifth season of The Open League, which will be held by TON Foundation on July 10. Previously, Catizen and others were recognized by the public through this event and received official funding from TON Foundation.
3. You need to spend money to speed up the upgrade and pass the levels.
4. It will be officially launched on July 4 (today). What are you waiting for? Join now and be an absolute early player! There is no gameplay guide on the web at present. This will be the first one.
I can only introduce the basic situation and I don’t understand the advanced gameplay yet. Now, let’s dive in together. 
Basic introduction of the game: Web2 tower defense + TON wallet to purchase game props
The game world is designed as 7 environments, including Vanilla Forest, Cream Glacier, etc. Each world has 40 levels, and a total of 280 levels seem to be open at present.
【7 major function cats】
Players can directly unlock 7 types of cats at the beginning, as follows:
Single attack (gun): causes high damage to single monsters and scenes;
Range attack (shotgun): causes damage to all monsters and scenes within the target range;
Slowing attack (Snowflake): Reduces the monster's movement speed;
Melee attack (darts): Attack multiple enemy monsters in range at the same time;
Infect (purple potion): poison that causes continuous damage to monsters at early levels.
Penetrate (Arrow): Penetrates all items in a straight line.
Money Attack (coin): You can get coins when attacking monsters;
Among them, each type is divided into 5 types of cats, and the other four seem to need to purchase treasure chests to unlock, and have different abilities.
In the picture below, there is a range attack cat. You can switch to the one on the left. The skills are the same, but the attack values are different. The cat needs to be purchased or unlocked by other means. 
[Core Game Assets: Ruby]
Functions of Ruby:
1. Purchase treasure chests in the store to gain energy, unlock new cat types, etc.;
2. Purchase resources in the game, such as restoring health.
3.……
Obtaining Rubies:
1. Each level has a task, and you can get rubies by completing the task;
2. In the store, use STAR or link your TON wallet to buy rubies with USD.
3. You can get rubies for free if you pay to purchase other resources;
4. Invite new users, 200 rubies per person;
5. Sign in. (No charge)
6. Others. 
[Other game assets: energy]
Energy: Used to upgrade cat characters. The higher the level, the stronger the ability. Energy can be obtained in a variety of ways. 
【Other key information】
1. Reach levels 15, 40, 41, and 80 to unlock more gameplay.
Among them, after 15 levels, the event is unlocked, and some gameplay such as signing in is added to obtain resources. After 15 levels, you need to consume small fish biscuits to clear the level, and one biscuit is restored every 11 minutes. You can get more by adding game friends and giving each other biscuits.
Among them, after clearing level 41, you can unlock the equipment gameplay.
The main page leads to different scenes.
In the picture below, the right sidebar is a sharing invitation, where you can give cookies (physical strength) to friends, etc. In the lower right corner, you can check the cat's level, upgrades, equipment, etc. 
【Level-breaking page function introduction】
Upper left corner: The number of gold coins you hold, which can be used to upgrade your cat in the game;
Upper right corner: You can play the game at 2x speed and pause the game;
Lower left corner: Check the current level task and get rubies after completing it;
Below: Purchase items, in order, to restore health, slow down monsters, freeze monsters, instantly destroy all monsters, and increase the cat's attack speed. Different amounts of rubies are consumed. 
A few tips and tricks, very important!
1. Plants, stones, etc. on the page can be attacked. You can take the initiative to aim, and after knocking them down, you can add new attacking cats to the vacant positions.
2. Make good use of the "pause button" to stop the monster from moving. The player can then arrange the attacking cats and upgrade them to the maximum level. After completion, press the button again to continue the game.
3. Remember the abilities of different cats, as mentioned above. For example, the slow-cat is important.
4. Spend less money to gain some early advantages.
Summarize
Currently, many TON games require paid recharges to unlock more resources. The same is true for CatsXwar. There are many places to guide users to consume.
The gameplay is very strong. A colleague from the Followin editorial department believes that this is the first TON game that everyone has seen that is very playable.
In addition, although this is a game on TON, it is obviously a Web3 game and requires a TON wallet to be linked for consumption. Its telegram portal clearly states: Play for airdrop, but it is not clear now.
