Hot Barrel Cats

Hot Barrel Cats puts cats on a wall to defend a gate from a fungus horde called the Mildews, where every shot heats a cat until it jams and needs cooling.

Tips

Watch each cat's burn time and drag it down before it jams, since a cool cat keeps firing. Drop two matching cats together to merge, which resets heat and sends a fresh tier up the wall.
