About Kitten Defense
The loop is standard tower defense. Place towers along enemy paths, generate resources from kills, upgrade towers to handle tougher waves, and survive. What varies is the cat theming: towers are cat types (each with different attack profiles), abilities are cat-themed, and the enemies are threats to your feline charges.
Strategy comes from tower composition and placement. Different cat towers handle different enemies - rapid-fire for swarms, heavy hits for armored, area for groups. Reading waves and placing the right towers in the right spots is how you win.
The cute aesthetic makes it approachable for casual players, but the difficulty curve is real. Later waves demand efficient tower placement and upgrade timing, and the puzzle of optimizing under resource constraints keeps it engaging for strategy fans.
