The Battle Cats POP! is a side-scrolling tower defense game developed by PONOS for the Nintendo 3DS, released in 2015. Players build armies from a roster of hundreds of eccentric, visually distinct cat units and deploy them in battles that progress across a global map. The game is a port of the existing Battle Cats series, adapted for the handheld platform without any in-app purchases. A notable addition to the series is a local multiplayer versus mode, in which players compete against friends to earn additional rewards. The core gameplay balances straightforward mechanics with strategic unit collection and deployment, and the large, unconventional cast of cat characters gives the game a distinctly absurdist visual identity. It falls broadly within the puzzle and strategy genres.
