Gameplay and Features

[Core Gameplay Loop]: Players run by swiping in rhythm, dodge obstacles by timing jumps or swipes, and collect coins/speed boosts. After collecting items, the cat stops to decorate a house by matching tile patterns – faster matches earn more rewards and unlock customization items. The objective is to maximize score by balancing speed, obstacle avoidance, and decoration efficiency.
[Visuals or Art Style]: The game features bright, vibrant 2D pixel art with varied character designs and distinct neighborhood styles. Meticulously detailed houses and smooth running animations bring the world to life, creating an engaging visual experience.
[Modes or Levels]: Experience endless runner mode for high scores or explore an open-world campaign revealing themed houses (beach, winter, desert) progressively unlocked. Special daily challenges offer limited-time rewards, increasing replayability through varied goals.
[Controls or Interface]: Minimalist touchscreen controls via tap/draw mechanics, intuitively mapped for seamless gameplay. Simple animations provide clear feedback, ensuring even beginners can intuit the system.
[Customization or Power-ups]: Players unlock new character skins, tiles, and boost power-ups through coin collection. The cosmetic shop offers trendy home furnishing items, with gradually unlocking higher-tier rewards motivating continuous play.
[Any Special Systems]: A “Daily Home” mode presents unique livestream challenges requiring specific decorations. Crafting systems allow combining materials into temporary boosts, adding strategic depth beyond simple match-three mechanics.

How to Play

Beginner’s Guide:

Step 1: Tap the “Start Running” icon on the home screen, then draw swipes in rhythm as the game begins. Learn by failing – released cats safely restart after minor hiccups.
Step 2: Focus on coin collection by touching gold rings and skip stone obstacles using air-swipe gestures. In decoration screens, quickly swipe matching tiles into empty slots for points.
Step 3: Push beyond 100 obstacles to unlock decorative materials and house blueprints. Watch tutorial tips flash during natural gameplay pauses.

Pro Tips:

Chain downswipes across multiple similar decorations for bonus points – use this to compensate for extra obstacles during challenging runs.
Pause strategically during decoration screens – stand modes give extra time for complex patterns, minimizing score penalties from speed.
Target “Combo Bonus” icons revealed on select levels for massive multipliers when completing special coloring sequences.
