About the Game

Get ready for exciting battles in the world of Cat Bait, a casual game with cute pixel graphics inspired by Vampire Survivors and Brotato! Control the brave Cat Bait, dodge hordes of mice and other rodents while your loyal helper cats destroy enemies with their unique abilities.

Main Features:
  • Unique Helper Cats: Each helper has its own special abilities and characteristics. For example, summon the Druid Cat to slow down enemies with roots and deal periodic damage. And who said you can summon only one helper?


  • Upgrade System: Upgrade your helpers during each run. Increase damage, add more projectiles, and unlock other unique upgrades for each cat.


  • Meta-Progression: Collect coins from defeated enemies to upgrade your character and helper cats between runs, making each new attempt more powerful.


  • Skins and Abilities: Unlock new skins for the Cat Bait that not only change the appearance but also add new active abilities. For example, the standard skin allows repelling enemies.
  • Epic Bosses: Fight unique bosses, like the mouse rider on a rat. Each boss has its own set of moves and attacks, making each battle unpredictable.
  • Interesting Locations: Choose from various locations, each offering its own challenges and variety of enemies. Start with an empty character and choose your first helper cat to begin the adventure.
  • Session Gameplay: Short gaming sessions make it easy to jump in and out of the game, continuing from the same wave you stopped at.

Fight waves of enemies, upgrade your helper cats, and conquer all locations in Cat Bait. Are you ready to take on the challenge and become a true hero among cats?
