gently caress anime boobs, give me mom cat boobs!

Get it here! Appstore link (Free)

Friend code spreadsheet. Do with this what you will. Put an X in the column to the right when you use a code since they're like one use only.

I mean, gently caress this poo poo forever.


This is much better. I think you can play this on the bus without people thinking you're a manchild.


Though they might think other things about you...







The Battlecats is the semi-successor to PONOS' excellently bizarre action strategy game Battlecats. You level up a base, manufacture an army of nightmarish cat...things and mob an enemy base. There are also treasures and capsules and cat food, all of these things that I know basically nothing about except that they're designed to separate you from your money by stimulating some weird lizard poo poo in your brain.

Talk about strategies here, exchange friend codes, or use the spreadsheet, do whatever!

This game really is the best. Friend code: bpuvz

e: For actual content, Ninja Cat and Box of Cats seem to be as great as ever and are well worth you investment of Cat Food. Ninja Frog Cat + Giraffe Cat + Cat Gang will carry you through pretty much all of the early game content.

Re: those pictures above is there a reason your base-cat costs are 75 and 150? Mine are level 10 and only cost 50 and 100 still. I'm up to Hollywood if that helps answer the question.

If you really want to whore for Moneko:

The first 10 stages (up to Japan) can be done in 10-15 minutes depending of how lazy you are on a second device. Buy the Tank Cat and only upgrade it + Cat. You should be able to get cat to 4-5 and tank to 3-4. You should also have enough for cat cannon range + charge before jumping into Japan. Trigger the hippo and let me get within cat range then throw everything you have at it. After 2-3 cat cannons the hippo goes down, you beat the stage, then enter your own code. No need to repeat stages or farm, just beeline for Japan and repeat until you get all the friend bonuses.

Once you beat the "game" you unlock a new chapter (there's 3 total). Each chapter increases cat cost by 50%.

Also, please add Dancing Flasher Cat to the OP

Cat production costs increase in Chapters 2 and 3.

A fuckton of new cats and special stages. Daily rolls for cat upgrades, a rare cat machine for super rare cats. The core of the game remains the same, they just added to it.

Also I'm not sure if its standard with the Super Rare cats but they hit hard. Like really loving hard. At level 10 they'll straight kill almost anything short of a seal or rhino in one hit. Not even giant mythical cat or Valkyrie (at level 8) put out that much damage. The main drawback to hip hop / flashing cat is that his wind-up animation takes a good 2-3 seconds and is susceptible to knock-backs and stuns. They can take a hell of a beating too. Well worth the 1M+ XP they need to reach 10. I dread to see how much it'll take to get him to 20.



I love their goofy dance.

The thing is they aren't actually friend codes, they're referral codes. Once you enter who supposedly referred you, for obvious reason you can't enter another one. For that reason you should probably take yourself off the list once you get the last award unlocked.

Also, Tricycle cat is not really worth it.

Since no one has said it yet. Save your upgrades from the daily rolls. They can be used on max level cats to increase their level from 10 to 11 you can then use xp to get them to level 20. At level 20 you need another upgrade from the daily roll, then you can get that cat to level 30 and they change form again.


Level 30 normal cats seem to be the strongest cats in the game, so just enjoy whatever rare cats you what. Also I'm not sure if you can do thise for base upgrades.

10 to 11+ is unlocked for everything by beating Chapter 2, no need to waste a daily roll on that.

I added a column to the right of the BC code column for an X. Put an X there when you use a code.

Someone highlighted one code that they used (I think), that was cool too.

How are you guys getting all your rare cats? Just spending all your cat food on pulls rather than the legacy premium cats? I already bought Ninja Cat and Box of Cats, and was looking to get Kung Fu Cat as well, but I'm not sure if my cat food would be better spent elsewhere. Does the game ever throw a free rare cat pull at you? Similarly, is there a way to get normal cat pulls faster than once per day?

What are the good cats to get? Is it like the first game where, for most of the game, you only really need tank cat and ninja cat? Because that's all I have been using up to Egypt and it's going swimmingly. It's hard to tell how good something is until you've spent a couple hundred thousand exp leveling it up.

I only beat chapter 1 so far but macho cat, wall cat, ninja cat, leg cat, box cat, and Titan cat have been what I have been using.

Kung fu cat is pretty much the best special cat right? Would people suggest getting him first, or are the rare capsule cats worth going for? Also I think I read somewhere that the special cats get discounted occasionally, is that true? I got 300 cat food burning a hole in my pocket.
