Feline Fusion: Cat Unlock

Knit Cat Merge is a warm knit-texture drop & merge casual puzzle game full of adorable cat breeds, designed for cat lovers and relaxed idle gameplay. Tap to drop circular kitten avatars onto the woven platform, merge two identical cat icons to evolve into rarer breeds, earn paw score points and unlock all 12 cat varieties in your permanent collection.

Core Drop & Merge Gameplay
Tap the screen to release the current preview kitten; the cat circle falls vertically onto the jagged knit ledge at the bottom. Whenever two matching cat breed circles touch each other, they instantly fuse into one upgraded higher-tier cat, rewarding paw-shaped score points. Consecutive multi-layer merges trigger chain combos that multiply your score gain for faster progression.
A "NEXT" preview box on the right side shows the kitten you will drop after the current one, letting you pre-plan your drop position to create long merge chains. If stacked kitten piles rise too high and hit the invisible top boundary, the round ends immediately.

Complete Cat Breed Collection Library
A vertical breed catalog is fixed on the left screen, listing all 12 unlockable feline types:
Persian, Siamese, Maine Coon, Sphynx, Ragdoll, Bengal, Scottish Fold, British Shorthair, Tuxedo, Calico, Turkish Van.
Every time you merge a brand-new cat breed, it permanently unlocks in the collection menu, letting you view all cute hand-drawn kitten illustrations you’ve discovered through gameplay.

Progressive Difficulty & Score Scaling
Difficulty rises smoothly as your total paw score increases. Early low-score rounds only spawn basic common breeds like Siamese and Sphynx, with plenty of space to line up matching pairs. As you unlock more breeds, rare cats such as Maine Coon and Persian begin appearing in the drop pool, tile stacks grow denser, and score target thresholds become much higher, requiring careful placement strategy to build big combos. Small two-kitten merges give minor point gains, while multi-step chain merges deliver large score jumps from 26, 38, 66 and above.
