"Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" is a unique pixel-style tower defense game that cleverly combines real-time strategy and three-elimination mechanism. Unlike traditional tower defense games, the resource acquisition of "Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" is closely linked to the "three-elimination" gameplay in the game. The main interface of the game is divided into two parts. Players complete three eliminations on the left and collect resources, similar to the process of collecting sunlight in "Plants vs. Zombies". The difference is that players obtain cat food of corresponding colors by eliminating blocks of different colors. These cat food can be used to buy a variety of cats and let them fight for you.

When I first encountered this game concept, I was also very curious: How can match-3 and tower defense be combined? After playing the demo, the clever combination of these two gameplays refreshed me. Similar to general tower defense games, players need to consume resources to defend cats against the invasion of zombies. This part of the game experience is similar to most tower defense games, but the unique thing about "Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" is that players can upgrade cats through the "match-3" mechanism. When three identical cats are arranged together, they will automatically merge into a high-level cat with more powerful skills.

Unlike traditional tower defense games, all resources in "Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" come from three eliminations. Different colored blocks correspond to different types of cats, so players need to eliminate blocks of specific colors in a targeted manner, rather than just eliminating as many blocks as possible. The game will not have no blocks to eliminate when moving blocks. Players can increase the number of eliminations by consuming "sausages", which are obtained by killing zombies. The combination of these two gameplays makes the game more strategic and the experience richer.



In addition, "Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" provides players with a fun "cyber cat slave" experience. Each cat has a unique attack animation, such as a cat with a headscarf holding a shotgun, and a cat burying a mine using a cigarette butt to detonate the mine. These animations are both magical and addictive. Players are in a vibrant and quirky world, enjoying cute cat animations, as if they are on an adventure with the cats.



After playing the demo, the most obvious feeling I had was that my brain was not enough. Sometimes I was always in a hurry to take care of one thing and lose another. On the one hand, I was thinking about how to eliminate three enemies, and on the other hand, I had to consider how to place cats of different types into the battlefield. This kind of left-right brain-right brain interaction often happens during the game. For example, when I was concentrating on resisting the invasion of zombies, I suddenly found that I didn't have enough resources, so I had to switch my mind and eliminate three enemies to gather resources. And when I was eliminating zombies, I found that the zombies were almost at my doorstep and I had to fight them quickly. This kind of game experience is quite unique and interesting, and it is also the biggest difference between "Meow vs. the Dead" and other games.



"Meow Meow vs. the Leftovers" is now officially available on Steam, and is currently on sale. It supports simplified Chinese! If you are a loyal fan of "Plants vs. Zombies" or are keen on match-3 games, you might want to try this new game that cleverly combines the two game types.
