What it is
A round lasts three minutes. You start as a small cat eating food and grow until you can eat cars and buildings, fighting other cats along the way. Whoever is the biggest cat at the end becomes King.
It is not public yet. Everything so far comes from my own playtests in Roblox Studio.
What I saw, what I changed
These go from the first to the latest. For each one, what I saw and what I did about it.
In games like this, big players tend to bully the small ones until they quit.
A cat has to be clearly bigger to swallow another. Big cats move slower and small cats grow faster
Win streaks can be protected by quitting early or hopping servers.
A streak only grows when you finish first, and leaving mid-round counts as a loss
In my own playtests, the big cats' scratch was too strong and new players got lost.
Slower attack growth, a short spawn shield, first-game hints, and an onboarding funnel from day one
Levelling up took way too long to be fun.
I cut the XP needed per level. Level 10 now takes 226 XP, down from 750
New players would not know where to go from the lobby.
I added a first-game arrow that points to the arena
