KITTENTOSS
Toss cats. Topple towers. Total chaos.

๐Ÿพ What Is KittenToss?

KittenToss is a physics-based cat-launching arcade game. You load cats onto a slingshot, pull back, aim, and fling them at towers of stacked items to knock everything down. Think Angry Birds meets Jenga โ€” but with cats, cardboard boxes, and chaos.

The game features a 20-level campaign across 4 themed worlds, plus an Endless Mode with procedurally generated towers that get harder every wave.

๐ŸŽฎ Controls

  1. Click on a cat in the tray (or near the slingshot) to grab it
  2. Drag backward (left/down) to pull back the slingshot โ€” the further you pull, the more power
  3. Watch the dotted trajectory arc to see where the cat will fly
  4. Release the mouse button to launch!
Pro tip: The power percentage shows above the cat while aiming. The elastic bands change from green to orange to red as you pull harder!

๐Ÿฑ The Cats

Each cat has unique physics โ€” choose the right one for the job!

Strategy: Lil Lion plows straight through towers. Smol Bean bounces off everything like a pinball. Taco is the reliable heavy hitter. Shadow is for precision shots.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Tower Items

Towers are built from items with different weights, sizes, and physics properties.

Cat Themed

๐Ÿงถ
Yarn โ€” Light, bouncy
๐ŸŸ
Fish Can โ€” Medium
๐Ÿฅ›
Milk โ€” Tall, medium
๐Ÿ“ฆ
Box โ€” The classic
๐Ÿงธ
Teddy โ€” Light, bouncy
๐Ÿชฃ
Litter Box โ€” Heavy
๐ŸŽพ
Ball โ€” Super bouncy

Household

๐Ÿ“š
Books โ€” Heavy, wide
๐Ÿงฑ
Brick โ€” Very heavy
๐Ÿชต
Wood โ€” Medium
๐Ÿฅซ
Can โ€” Small
๐Ÿซ™
Jar โ€” Fragile, shatters!
Physics matter! Heavy items at the bottom of a tower are much harder to knock out because all the weight above them holds them in place. Aim for the top or middle to cause chain reactions!

โญ Scoring

  • 10-40 points per item knocked off (based on item weight)
  • +500 bonus for clearing the entire tower
  • +100 per unused throw efficiency bonus
  • +150 bonus for hitting a bird mid-air

Star Ratings

Each campaign level has 3 score thresholds for 1, 2, or 3 stars.

  • โญ โ€” You passed! Minimum score met.
  • โญโญ โ€” Solid performance. Good aim!
  • โญโญโญ โ€” Perfect run. Maximum destruction!

๐ŸŒ Campaign Worlds

๐ŸŒณ Backyard (Levels 1-5) EASY

Simple stacks of 3-5 cardboard boxes. Learn the slingshot mechanics here.

๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Living Room (Levels 6-10) MEDIUM

Taller towers with mixed items โ€” books, jars, cans. Some levels have multiple towers. Fragile jars shatter on impact!

โ˜• Cat Cafe (Levels 11-15) HARD

Multiple towers, precision targets, and heavy base blocks. Cat-themed items everywhere.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Rooftop (Levels 16-20) EXPERT

Wind effects push your cats off course! Precarious stacks, tough layouts, and the ultimate challenge.

โ™พ๏ธ Endless Mode

Procedurally generated towers that get harder every wave. Towers get taller, use heavier items, and wind kicks in at wave 5. Your score carries across waves โ€” see how far you can go!

Fail a wave (less than 30% of items knocked off) and it's game over.

๐Ÿฆ… Birds & Bonuses

Foreground birds fly across the screen during gameplay. If your cat collides with a bird mid-air, both explode in a burst of particles and you earn +150 bonus points!

You'll also see background critters wandering around โ€” dogs, rats, snakes, squirrels, butterflies โ€” but those are just for ambiance and can't be hit.

๐Ÿง  Strategy Tips

1. Aim for the Base

Knock out the bottom blocks and everything above tumbles down. One good base hit can clear an entire tower.

2. Use the Right Cat

Lil Lion for brute force. Smol Bean to bounce into gaps. Shadow for precision. Don't waste Taco on a single block.

3. Save Your Throws

Unused throws give +100 each as an efficiency bonus. If you can clear with 1 throw, you get a massive score boost.

4. Watch the Trajectory

The dotted arc shows exactly where your cat will fly. Trust it โ€” aim carefully and release when the arc touches the target.

5. High Arc vs Low Shot

Low shots slam into the base with horizontal force. High arcs drop onto the top with vertical force. Use both!

6. Chain Reactions

Hit the middle of a tall stack to cause items above AND below to scatter. More items knocked off = more points.

7. Wind on Rooftop

Wind arrows show which direction the wind blows. Aim upwind and let the wind carry your cat into the target.
