Neco Drop: Cat Friends Nation

Moby ID: 143970

Description

A cat fanatic hears of a town full of cats and sets out to befriend everyone there. This cross between a puzzle game and Neko Atsume has players meeting 40 different cats based on Street Fighter V characters. Players start out in the town, which features random cats playing much like in Neko Atsume; tapping on any cat allows players to try out their puzzle stage, with each cat having a unique stage. Clearing a stage lets the player spin a wheel to collect some cat food, which can be fed to the cat to make friends; the better the food, the better the chance of befriending a cat. The better job a player does of clearing a stage, the better the cat food will be. If the player succeeds in making friends, the cat gets added to the in-game encyclopedia where the player can read their profile.

Puzzle stages are match-two challenges; stages are filled with coloured blocks, and players tap on any group of two or more of the same colour in order to remove them. In addition to regular blocks, there are also various special blocks: boxes, which are destroyed when a combo is performed next to them; junkyards, which take repeated adjacent combos in order to destroy; astronauts, which must be dropped off the bottom of the stage; and gems, which explode when a combo of the same colour is performed next to them. There are also a few special blocks which spawn when the player performs large combos: mice (5 blocks or more), which clear a horizontal or vertical line of squares; bomb balloons (7 or more), which destroy adjacent blocks; and yarn balls (9 or more), which destroy all blocks of the same colour on the stage. Activating a special item when it's adjacent to another special item launches an extra-powerful attack, clearing out much more of the stage.

Each stage has a unique layout and a unique goal. Some stages require clearing out particular total numbers of normal coloured blocks, while others will require players to clear out specific numbers of special blocks. Players are given a limited number of turns to reach their goal, and lose their chance to collect cat food if they run out of turns. Players' performance is scored based on the number of blocks destroyed over the course of a round with a bonus for clearing in a small number of moves.
