How to Play Cat Wizard Defense

Press the orange and white PLAY button on the welcome screen. Next you will be invited to choose if you want to start a tutorial, or begin play.

Drag cat towers from their icons in the lower right into the field of play. If the ground where you try to lay the tower is green you can place it there, and if it is red you can not.

Across the top of the screen the game shows your wave progress, how few jelly monsters you have let through, and how charged up you are to purchase the next tower.

• The wave progress bar shows what percent of the waves have begun. If the meter is 1/3 full that means you are likely on the first of three waves. If the meter is 80% full that means you are likely four fifths of the way through and have one more wave left.
• The jelly monster meter starts off as full and empties as monsters leave the screen. Stronger monsters deplete the meter more than weaker monsters. If this bar is full you can earn a 3-star rating on the stage. If the bar gets empty you lose the stage.
• The tower purchase meter goes up as you hit jelly monsters. It is calibrated to the most expensive tower available and shows as full when you can afford to purchase that tower. The towers in the lower right go from a gray color to a brighter color when you have enough saved to purchase them.

Basic Gameplay Advice

The goal of the game is to take out all the jelly monsters before they reach the level exits. This game has a total of 18 stages unlocked sequentially. If a few monsters make it through to the end of the course you can still advance to the next level, though your star rating might be less than 3. You can also go back to stages with a low star rating to play them again and improve your star rating.

You drag towers into position, and they automatically fire at nearby passing jelly monsters.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

Tower Placement Locations

The best tower placement locations are typically where one or more of the following is true:

• the monsters have to wrap around the tower, giving you an extended period of time to hit them
• the monsters pass by the tower multiple times, allowing it to hit them early on the way in and later on the way out
• no bridges nearby (the bridges can act as cover for the monsters and waste your shots)

Early Strategy

Early in a stage you typically want to buy the most expensive tower you can afford and place it somewhere close to the start of the level, so that you earn points from damaging monsters entering in the next wave to help ensure you have enough saved up to buy another tower to place later in the stage to defeat any monsters the first tower missed.

Late Strategy

Towers which are a bit more expensive tend to do a lot more damage, so sometimes you want to wait until the last second to hold off and buy a more expensive tower to place closer to the end of the stage.

Observe the general rules about tower placement locations as best you can to make sure you make the most out of your towers. Towers have different range patterns, so you want to make sure you place the towers where you try to steer clear of wasting your fire on bridges the monsters walk under.

If a stage has multiple paths and many enemies it can make sense to place a tower in a location where it focuses on one of the branches, but most towers should be placed so that enemies have to go past them no matter which route they use.
