Cat Planet Idle: Merge Boosters & Collect Cats Free

This isn't your average clicking game where you just tap a big button. You place 'Add' and 'Multiply' boosters on orbital paths, trying to chain math operations together before cats spiral into the core planet. It’s more about spatial planning than raw speed. It's a good fit for anyone who likes tweaking layouts in idle games, like a simplified version of a tower defense. You'll stare at the screen a lot, so if you need constant explosions, this might feel too slow.

You start by dropping basic boosters onto the rings closest to the planet. I made the mistake of spreading them out too thin early on, which made my scoring weak. Each game mode runs differently; Normal Mode is a slow burn where you tweak your setup over time. Once you generate enough cash, you merge identical boosters to make them stronger. The math gets tricky later on, as you have to decide if a raw '+10' booster is better than a 'x2' multiplier in a specific slot. A full clear in the later stages can take a good 10 minutes of staring.

Pick this if you're tired of pure clickers that hurt your wrist. The orbital mechanic forces you to actually think about placement, unlike standard merge games. However, the soundtrack gets old fast, so you might want to mute it after twenty minutes.
