What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our small indie team has poured a piece of their soul into the development and is eager to share what we've created! Early access will also help guide the development in the right direction. We will regularly update and expand Cat Bait throughout the early access period and hope to make the game even better together with you!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently plan to release Cat Bait from early access within six months. During this time, we hope to significantly expand and improve the game as much as possible!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“All the core gameplay mechanics are already included in early access, but the game will continue to grow! We plan to add new content both during the early access period and after the game's release. We also plan to improve existing game elements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In early access, the game will not include all possible locations, upgrades, etc. But even now, Cat Bait can offer you an engaging experience, a pleasant atmosphere, and great music. And there’s more to come! You can follow the latest updates in the "Recent Events & Announcements" section.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“At the moment, we do not plan to change the price even after the full release of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Your opinion is very important to us! Reviews and discussions on Steam, our Discord channel, other social networks, and email — these are all ways for you to share your impressions, feedback, and suggestions.”

About This Game

Get ready for exciting battles in the world of Cat Bait, a casual game with cute pixel graphics inspired by Vampire Survivors and Brotato! Control the brave Cat Bait, dodge hordes of mice and other rodents while your loyal helper cats destroy enemies with their unique abilities.

Main Features:
  • Unique Helper Cats: Each helper has its own special abilities and characteristics. For example, summon the Druid Cat to slow down enemies with roots and deal periodic damage. And who said you can summon only one helper?


  • Upgrade System: Upgrade your helpers during each run. Increase damage, add more projectiles, and unlock other unique upgrades for each cat.


  • Meta-Progression: Collect coins from defeated enemies to upgrade your character and helper cats between runs, making each new attempt more powerful.


  • Skins and Abilities: Unlock new skins for the Cat Bait that not only change the appearance but also add new active abilities. For example, the standard skin allows repelling enemies.
  • Epic Bosses: Fight unique bosses, like the mouse rider on a rat. Each boss has its own set of moves and attacks, making each battle unpredictable.
  • Interesting Locations: Choose from various locations, each offering its own challenges and variety of enemies. Start with an empty character and choose your first helper cat to begin the adventure.
  • Session Gameplay: Short gaming sessions make it easy to jump in and out of the game, continuing from the same wave you stopped at.

Fight waves of enemies, upgrade your helper cats, and conquer all locations in Cat Bait. Are you ready to take on the challenge and become a true hero among cats?
