Hot Barrel Cats is a feline defense game with an overheating twist. A fungal horde known as the Mildews advances along the road toward your gate, and only the cats stationed on the wall can fire. Every shot raises a cat's heat; once its burn timer expires, it jams and cannot shoot again until it cools down. Drag overheated cats down to the spawn zone to cool them off, deploy fresh cats to the wall, and drop two identical cats together to merge them into a higher tier. A merged cat starts fully cooled, so every merge is both an upgrade and a rescue. Game details: single-player, 16 handcrafted levels with 1–3 stars each, landscape and portrait orientation, desktop and mobile. Levels: boss encounters on levels 8, 12, and 16—Big Puffball, Shelf Cap, and Spore Mother—each pressures your heat instead of your health. Characters: 15 tiers of barrel-toting cats against 5 kinds of Mildew. Between battles, spend coins in the cafe on perks, claim a daily reward, and chase achievements.
