SHORT DESCRIPTION
Turn cute cat-fruit into huge combos! Collect powerful Catalysts that twist the rules, boost your multipliers, and change how you play. Drop or slingshot fruit into place, trigger chain reactions, and build powerful combinations that send your score soaring in this Suika-style roguelike.

LONG DESCRIPTION
Catomi is a physics-based fruit merging roguelike where every merge can turn into a massive chain reaction. Drop fruit, combine matching tiers, and watch them grow into bigger and bigger cat-fruits. Every fruit has weight and momentum, so one good merge can send the whole pile flying or save a run that looked doomed.

Between arenas, spend Kibble on Catalysts that change how you play. Boost combos, mess with physics, supercharge specific fruits, and find combinations that break a run wide open. Each arena has a merge goal. Reach it and the barrier breaks, dropping every fruit into the next arena. Let the pile cross the danger line and a countdown starts. Clear Layer 10 to win.

FEATURES
- Catalysts: spend Kibble between arenas on Catalysts that boost combos, bend physics, and change the rules of the arena.
- Drop or slingshot: drop fruit into place or slingshot it across the arena to set up chain reactions.
- Fruit that levels up: every fruit tier gains XP as you merge it.
- Break through arenas: hit the merge goal and the barrier breaks, sending every fruit into the next arena.
- Beat the danger line: when fruit crosses the line, a countdown starts. Clear Layer 10 to win.
- Seed shop: merge watermelons to earn melon seeds, then unlock fruit designs, arenas, patterns, and backgrounds.
