Do you still remember the Telegram monster-battling game Bombie that was introduced last year? It was already announced that in Q1 this year, Bombie would launch an attack on the communication app LINE, which is the most commonly used one in Taiwan, and now it's really here! Want to know how to play Bombie on LINE, and what new activities you can check out in a separate tab? [Updated on 2025/1/22] The Catizen game team has created a new game called Bombie! Can you earn coins by killing zombies and play on LINE in the future?
As soon as I went in, I immediately noticed the "Airdrop Tesla" big event in the Bombie game. By clicking to participate, it led me to another game on LINE called Cattea. The cute visuals and catchy sound effects, with cats and bubble tea as the main themes, immediately touched the soft spot in my heart as a young man, and I became more and more addicted to it. Now let me introduce this game, which is also launched on the "Dapp Portal" platform in collaboration with LINE NEXT and Kaia. How do you play it? Will there be an Airdrop? Let's take a look!
What is Cattea?
Cattea is a "match-3 game" with cats as the main theme, developed by Pluto Studio, the publisher of Bombie. The game has been available on Telegram for a while before its launch on LINE, and although the gameplay is very simple, it has already attracted over 200,000 plays in a short period of time! Now that the "Dapp Portal" of LINE NEXT and Kaia Chain has officially launched, Cattea, as Bombie's sister game, is also actively accumulating points.
But the biggest difference between Cattea and Bombie is that Cattea has no in-app purchases, and it's a relatively new game, so players haven't flocked to it yet. It's just a casual game to play. Therefore, the official has launched a Tesla Airdrop and a total of 20 iPhone 16s as grand prizes to attract players to join. So how should you play Cattea? How can you get the Airdrop?
After all that, I'm sure you can't wait to start playing! Here's the Cattea game link, let's go through the introduction together on how to play!
How to play Cattea?
After clicking the game link, it will automatically redirect you to your LINE. Or if you've played Bombie, you can also enter from the "Airdrop Tesla" activity page in the top left corner. You can first fill in the raffle email, and then start playing Cattea! After filling in the email, you can also connect your wallet, because the third prize is 200,000 $CATI tokens, the Catizen token, so if you win, it will be directly deposited into your wallet. If you don't have a wallet yet, you can connect your LINE through the Dapp Portal to automatically create a on-chain wallet, and you can log in to the Dapp Portal platform to check it, which is very user-friendly for players who don't know what a blockchain wallet is!

Cattea Gameplay
After entering Cattea, the interface is very simple and clear. You can see many buildings with the names of different regions, kind of like "Gyms". Players can challenge the buildings in different regions, but you should note that there are only 3 free challenge attempts per day. If you run out of attempts and still want to play, you'll need to complete specific conditions to continue. As for what those conditions are, let's keep reading. Just click "Start" and you'll see the game screen on the right. Three matching icons can be cleared, and if you can't match three at a time, they will accumulate, up to a maximum of seven. If you reach seven and still can't match three, it means the challenge has failed and you'll use up one of your attempts.
At first, players will be given an easy level. After passing the easy level, you'll move on to more difficult levels. If you feel like you're about to lose, don't worry, there are related remedies. Let's take a look at the little tricks you can use.
In the game screen, you can see three small tools at the bottom, from left to right: "Move three cards aside", "Automatically collect a set of cards", and "Shuffle". To use these, you need to contribute the coins you've earned, or you can click "Obtain" at the bottom, which will take you to a sharing page. Just share Cattea with your LINE friends, and you can get one chance to use a small tool. But be aware that these three tools can only be used once per game, so you need to carefully evaluate when to use them. (Veteran's bitter experience)
If you ultimately fail, you'll see the screen on the right side of the image below. Players can also use money power to revive, or use the method mentioned above, just share with friends to get one revive chance. You don't have to start over, but can continue from where you lost. However, if you fail again, you won't be able to challenge it again.
In addition, on the main screen, you can see four buttons at the bottom: "Play Game", "Fresh Milk Tea", "Friends", and "Earn". Playing the game means entering the game, and Fresh Milk Tea is like you opened a bubble tea shop in Cattea. It will unlock your in-store customers (Pepe may appear) and the products you can provide, based on your progress in playing Cattea. Managing the store can allow players to earn passive income even when not playing the game! As for Friends, it's the familiar invite-a-friend activity. As long as you successfully invite friends to play Cattea, you can get other rewards! And Earn is where players can complete some designated tasks like tracking Cattea's X, and they can get additional rewards!
Cattea Airdrop News
As mentioned earlier, the difference between Cattea and other games is that there is currently no in-app purchase mechanism, and the only purpose of in-app purchase is to remove ads, but it doesn't affect the game experience. So, will there still be Airdrop? The answer is yes! The official has already announced on X (@CatteaAI) that there will be "Airdrop"!
Although the exact Airdrop time and mechanism have not been announced yet, only the distribution plan of Cattea Tokens has been explained. However, given that we have the same game Catizen developed by Pluto Studio as an example, reviewing the Airdrop conditions of Catizen, there are four: inviting friends, in-app purchase level, game level, and tasks. Applying this to Cattea, since there is no in-app purchase, based on my many years of experience, the Airdrop distribution may focus more on the "number of friends invited". So, in addition to playing the game seriously, remember to invite your family and friends!
