What is Cat Pinball
"Cat Pinball" is a creative fusion of classic Pachinko mechanics and deep Roguelike RPG strategy. In this game, you guide an adventurous cat through a dangerous map filled with monsters and treasures. Combat is resolved not by swords, but by physics! When you encounter an enemy, a pinball board appears. Your goal is to launch special orbs that bounce off pegs, accumulating damage points before flying towards the enemy. The more pegs you hit, the stronger your attack. As you progress, you can collect unique balls with magical effects (like bombs or healing), acquire powerful artifacts, and upgrade your stats. With its charming hand-drawn graphics and addictive "just one more turn" gameplay, "Cat Pinball" offers a refreshing challenge for fans of strategy and puzzle games.

How to Play & Master
The goal is to defeat enemies and reach the end of the map.
Map Navigation: Tap on the map nodes to move. Icons indicate what lies ahead: skulls for battles, chests for treasure, or campfires for healing.
Combat:
Aim: When in battle, drag your finger on the screen to aim the trajectory line.
Shoot: Release to fire the ball into the pegboard.
Damage: The ball will bounce off pegs. Each peg hit adds to the damage counter. Special pegs (like "R" for Refresh or "!" for Critical) trigger bonus effects.
Attack: Once the ball falls through the bottom, your cat attacks the enemy with the total accumulated damage.
Enemy Turn: After you attack, the enemy will strike back, reducing your HP.
Progression: Winning battles rewards you with coins and new balls. Use coins in the shop to buy relics or remove weak balls from your deck to build a stronger synergy.
Game Controls
Drag & Release: Pull back or drag to aim the guide line, release to shoot the ball.
Tap: Interact with map nodes and UI buttons.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I heal?
A: You can heal by visiting Rest Sites (Campfires) on the map or by using specific healing balls/relics during battle.
Q: What do the Refresh (R) pegs do?
A: Hitting an "R" peg resets the board, respawning all the hit pegs, allowing you to rack up even more points in the same shot.
Q: Is it Game Over if I die?
A: Yes, as a Roguelike, dying usually means restarting the run, but you may keep some permanent progress depending on the game mode.
