Limassol, Cyprus - December 22, 2023. Publisher ESDigital and developer Prikol Team are spreading some paw-some holiday cheer with a special update for the free Cats on Duty playable Prologue on Steam and Epic Games Store.
As well as a festive new UI, there are additional quality-of-life updates to keep the fur flying as the battle-hardened felines defend their homeland from the pesky forces of evil. Keep your eyes open for enemies disguising themselves under festive hats, it's not just to keep their villainous heads warm!
Latest updates include:
Holiday-themed UI added.
Game locations have been refined.
Some enemies now wear Santa hats to bring some seasonal joy!
Battle cat mechanics are now even better!
The travel map has been made great again.
To save you from tears, cards no longer stop recharging if you slow the time down.
UI animations are so delightful now.
Fixed dashing through the interface with gamepad-controlled cursor issue.
Various game balancing improvements.
The Steam Prologue contains the whole first chapter of Cats on Duty spread over 10 captivating levels, each showcasing a unique challenge and certain game feature. There is even a minigame and a full boss fight to get your claws into to prepare you for what’s to come in the final game.
That’s not all! Here, you can try out the co-op mode with your friends or family. One player focuses on the tile-matching field of the game screen to win the food needed to recruit and upgrade your battle cats, while the other builds an unbreakable line of defense. Co-op mode can be easily activated or deactivated from the start menu or as you play.
With ‘cat’ and ‘kitten’ difficulty levels available, you can adjust game difficulty on the fly should you find the current level too hard or too easy for your skills or mood. You will also be able to carry over your Prologue save files into the main game so you can either continue from where you left off or reset the game progress in the settings menu and start over!

About Cats on Duty
Welcome to Cats on Duty, the purr-fectly hilarious and action-packed ultimate blend of real-time strategy, tower defense, and match-3 mechanics, where heavily armed battle-hardened cat veterans of rodent skirmishes and yarn tangles take charge in defending their homeland (and litter boxes) against the forces of great evil! Utilise a multitude of cat varieties to engage in combat against 50 types of fiendish creatures. Unleash the power of the whiskers and drive those zombies back to the depths of the underworld!
Tactical Tower Defense - Defend your territory with a brutal arsenal of weaponry. From powerful rifles that reach the enemy at a distance to death-defying ninjas with blades sharper than any groomer's scissors, strategically place your feline soldiers to ensure victory on the battlefield.
Unleash the Cattitude - Prepare for epic catfights, playful antics, and adorable meows as your feline warriors show off their unique personalities and unleash their special abilities. Brace yourself for a blend of sass and strategy that will keep you entertained throughout the battles.
Match-3 Mayhem - It's not just tower defense; it's tower defense with a twist of addictive match-3 gameplay! Connect gems on the resource field to receive currency and purchase cat towers. Swap and combine cats on the battlefield to create upgraded towers and unleash devastating attacks. Inspired by Plants vs Zombies and Tower Swap, Cats on Duty takes the best of the genre and enhances it with captivating match-3 mechanics.
Customise and Improve your Squad - Unlock and collect a variety of quirky cat characters, each with their own strengths and abilities. From snipers and assassins to shotgun-toting Rambo-like felines and even a battle version of Puss in Boots, tailor your team to your playstyle and create the ultimate squad of kitty heroes. Gather three kittens in a row and witness the birth of a SUPER BATTLE CAT!
Epic Battles - Face off against formidable foes that will make your whiskers tremble. Zombies, skeletons, spiders, Baba Yaga, and EPIC bosses await your tactical prowess. Sharpen your claws, load your shotguns, and show them who's the real top cat on the battlefield!
Unique Environments - Explore diverse and meticulously crafted levels, from deceptively cozy suburban backyards to mysterious desert. Each environment presents unique challenges that require cunning strategy to emerge victorious.
Charming Pixel-Cat Graphics - Immerse yourself in a vibrant and whimsical world filled with colorful environments and adorable cat animations. It's a visual feast that will make you feel like you're right in the midst of a kitty adventure!
