==Strategy==
===Strategy 1===
Don't summon any cats until the first Bore is close to your base. When he gets there, drop several Island Cats and spam your meatshields. Eventually, the second Bore will spawn. You should be able to kill him easily. The level escalates when the group of Bores spawn. If you have enough Crazed Whales and Islands, you should get through it, you can use Awakened Bahamut as a last resort. Once you kill the last few Bores, wait out the Mr. Moles. This should be when you start spawning your Titans. Luckily, Crazed Whale and Island are close-ranged, so they can't be touched while attacking. (If the Mr. Moles are spread out however they will get hit and knocked back, so work to get the Mr. Moles all attacking at once at the same distance.)
If you wait too long, Trolly Bloggers will spawn at a greatly increased rate. If your Thor and Island Cats aren't at high enough levels to take out the remaining Mr. Moles swiftly, time your Cat Cannon blasts carefully to clear the way for Awakened Bahamut, or consider adding Crazed Sexy Legs to your line-up to provide wave assistance.
=== Strategy 2 (Cheese ft. iCat)===
Start by sending out one Crazed Macho Cat, followed by iCat, then start spamming your meatshields and iCat. Keep doing this until the first Bore gets permafrozen, then stop sending any Cats and save up for A. Bahamut. When you have enough money, send it and start spamming the meatshields again. Try not to use Cat Cannon as you risk killing the iCats (Slow Beam and Iron Wall are still okay, though). If the Bore kills your first iCat, the run is most probably dead, so just force close the game and retry.
==Walkthrough==
==Trivia==
*Love and Death's name is a reference to Ai to Shi ("Love and Death"), a novel published by Saneatsu Mushanokōji in 1939. The novel follows the character of Muraoka and his relationship with his friend's sister Natsuko, which they advance by writing to each other. They marry right before Muraoka sets off on a 6-month trip to Paris. The two continue to stay in contact via letters and have high hopes for their life as a married couple after Muraoka returns home, but on the ship back to Japan, Muraoka is informed that his wife had suddenly died of Spanish flu. After visiting her grave, Muraoka remarks that "the dead hold great power over the living, but the living are powerless over the dead."
*For April Fools' Day 2016, Let's Start Over was temporarily replaced by a version of Love and Death with lower strength magnifications.
