***Tom and Jerry: Chase*** ***(猫和老鼠手游)*** is a multiplayer action isometric game where four mice have to face-off against a cat in a specific map full of items. The aim of the cat, of course, is to trap, catch and dispatch the four mice, who in turn are trying to survive, push cheese and escaping via the wall crack, causing chaos in the house.

The art style closely resembles that of the 2014 TV Series, along with the DTV special "Santa's Little Helpers." and older cartoons in a limited way. For those who are not fond of the 2014 Flash designs, this game is sure to please.

## **How Can I Download The Game?**

It is possible to play the original version outside of People's Republic of China, but not without trial and error for iOS devices. iOS devices require the Chinese Apple ID to be downloaded unless you use the ripped version, then you could simply download an IPA file. Android devices, on the other hand, are as simple as can be. Follow the website below, and press the green button, and it downloads a APK file.

It can also be possible to download the game in GooglePlay with your laptop, but doesn't have keyboard support, you can control the game with the mouse which can be a hassle for players

In 2020 the International Server Beta is released, albeit for only 2 languages. You can download this version on Google Play Store and App Store.

The game can also be played on PC through Bluestacks (ASIA) and MuMu Emulator (CN). The controls are pre-set, and you can control the buttons through your keyboard. You can also switch around the locations of the buttons, their sizes, or for MuMu Emulator only, the trigger keyboard buttons themselves for better game play experience.

## General Gameplay

Before a match starts, you have to choose a character and lock it. After some time, all the characters will be automatically locked and the game will officially begin. You can also select skins for your characters or rockets/robot mice during the character selection, as well as second weapons and special skills (if available).

The way a game plays out is generally the same: during the first 60 seconds the mice and the cat can take a look at the house safely and collect up to 5 Experience Cakes which gives a maximum boost of about 4 levels using robots.

Robot mice can also pick up an item. However, the robot mice are still vulnerable to cat attacks and if the attacked mice are holding an Experience Cake or an item, it will drop and the mice would lose the level boost if left unclaimed.

Cats, on the other hand, try to stop the robot mice by destroying them or taking the cake for them, which gives a maximum boost of about 4 levels. When there are robot mice near, the cat will gain a movement and jump speed bonus, which can be more effective when finding and damaging robot mice.

Once 60 seconds has passed or all 4 robot mice are destroyed, the game starts. The player controlling the cat has ten minutes to chase down the four mice and tie them to a rocket while those controlling the mice has to push 5 wedges of cheese, rescue teammates and break the wall crack to escape.

After 5 wedges of cheese are pushed through, there will be 10 seconds where the Wall Crack can be located on the map but cannot be accessed. During the Wall Crack phase, rockets will burn 4x faster. If either one achieves their goal before the other does or before time runs out, their respective side wins. The cat also wins if the time runs out.

If a teammate is disconnected suddenly, you have the option to let him stay in their current location or have a bot takeover to follow you if they allowed it in the Settings. This ends once the teammate manages to reconnect, or gets dispatched.

## Customizations

## General Tips

For players who are new, they need to keep a few things in mind:

### 1. Don't overspend your resources

* For gold, you should save it for purchasing characters; For skin gems, you should save it for skins and ornaments; For stars, you should save it and accumulate the amount around 150 stars to guarantee an S class skin in Magic Mirror, etc.

* Be sure to find out details for the upcoming events. When a big event is going on, you can use your accumulated resources to purchase goods, in order to get more rewards in return for the event task requirements.

### 2. Watch tutorials online

* Learn how the game works, get used to the game mechanics, the overall objective when you are playing in a match.

### 3. Experiment your playstyle

* Some characters and second weapons are just not for some people. You should experiment on many characters before settling down which to main. If a character is suitable to your playstyle, you should find ways to improve it. Similar to the second tip.

### 4. Take any tips with a pinch of salt

* Although there are many great tips out there, including the wiki itself. There could be errors, misleading and outdated tips. Be mindful if the information really is correct and you should always have second thoughts.

## In-game Strategies (Mice)

### General Strategies

* Try to play a match with friends, as you would be more prepared and easily think of a good strategy. Contrary to popular belief, playing as the mouse is harder than the cat as mice requires teamwork while the cat is a one-man stand.

* Every team should have at least 1 cheese-pusher (Detective Jerry is the best option, though Jerry or Devil Jerry can work) and 1 rescuer (Angel Jerry and King Jerry works best).

* Always absolutely equip Blood of Iron perk card at all decks, as this can help you decide where you want to be down at. It may also help you escape and, if fast enough, may even restore your HP without going weakened at all (although the last part requires a Lv. 3 Blood of Iron).

### Scouting Phase

* EXP-cake guarding is an effective strategy used by the cat to prevent mice from picking up every EXP cake. If this happens, it is better not to try and go for it as most of the time, the robot mouse will be destroyed, which is a disadvantage because it not only makes you lose any EXP cakes you have (which decreases your progress), but also helps the cat to level up faster, especially if the cat is Cowboy Tom, as his Whip can instantly destroy robot mice with his 2 second CD.

* If you see where the cat was last seen after the Scouting Phase, go for a mouse hole that is far away from the cat's last seen location. This will help you get a headstart in finding and pushing cheese.

* Avoid going near the cat at all during the Scouting Phase, even when it has 5 seconds left, as you may never expect a foreign object or a hand to destroy your robot mouse (Yes this does happen quite frequently, especially when playing with random teammates).

* During the Scouting Phase, try to avoid golf balls due to their ability to land multiple hits. Similarly, use them to your advantage at the Wall Crack phase to deal damage multiple times.

### Cheese Phase

* At the start of Cheese Phase, don't carry cheese instantly, since the cat will most likely have drunk an invisibility drink beforehand. After you are sure that the cat is not near you, or that they have already caught a teammate, then can you safely push the cheese.

* If there are teammates nearby and your wedge of cheese is about to be pushed through, don't push all the way, and save some progress for your teammates, since that will add more EXP to the mouse team.
	+ However, do not do this if your teammates are far away and are already busy rescuing and kiting the cat, especially if you are at a low level.

### Rescuing Teammates

* If there are only 2 mice remaining and one of them gets caught, do not escape the Wall Crack as it will lead to a loss, unless the teammate has a very lucky chance to break free from the rocket (although that is very unlikely to happen). Instead, try to save that teammate and escape together.

* Rocket-camping is often an effective strategy for cats to help deter other mice from rescuing, as the cat's attack can hit more than 1 enemy at the same time. They can also use their skills or a mouse swatter to disrupt the mice. Before dealing with a Rocket-camper, bring an item that can stun the cat, such as an ice cube or a blue vase (stored with multiple damaging items), or use your own skills to distract the cat.

* If you are playing as a main rescuer, absolutely equip the perk cards Fearless with Cut and Run. This way, the immunity that Fearless provides can prevent the cat from knocking out the mice immediately while Cut and Run ensures that the mice have escaped far enough.

* If the cat has gotten a hold of one of your teammates, you can use any stunning items to throw at the cat. If they get hit, the captured mice will be released immediately.

* If you see a mousetrap at the rocket, you can perform a Jump-and-Rescue. This can prevent getting stuck to the mousetrap if you have a Fearless perk card.

### Wall Crack Phase

* Be careful of the cat's perks in Wall Crack phase, especially if you do not notice any cat's outstanding perks in early-game. It is most likely that the cat has equipped a deck of late-game perks, which are Rage and Wall of Steel.

## In-game Strategies (Cat)

### General Strategies

* Try to always use the Cautious perk card at all decks, as the benefits of being immune to an accidental mousetrap backfire far outweighs the movement speed reduction.
	+ However, if you equip Hot Pursuit, or any other perks that strengthen your movement speed, it is best not to equip Cautious.

* Because cat can unlock at the end, they can use this to their advantage and analysis the opponent mouse team's characters and find the best suitable cat to use (e.g. if there are multiple Tuffy characters, you can consider using Butch, Kate, Guard Tom and most high DMG characters).

### Scouting Phase

* When spawning, go for the rooms with the most EXP cakes within reach, as this will deter the mice from approaching.

* During the Scouting Phase, cats should place mousetraps at as many mouseholes as possible, so that when the battle starts, mice will either take the risk or avoid entering that mousehole completely.

* Since Robot mice are easy to destroy, a golf ball is recommended as a starting item during the scouting phase as they can bounce, making it very effective against multiple robot mice.

* When the robot mice are excellent dodgers, focus on getting all the EXP cakes first because chasing and trying to destroy the robot mice would waste your time. When the cat gets enough EXP cakes he/she would level up. However, it is wise to continue chasing a robot mouse that has stolen a certain type of potion because if the potion is taken away then the mice may use it to gain an advantage against you.

### Cheese Phase

* One very effective measure to catch a mouse is by drinking the invisibility drink and then sneaking up to them. Another is to use an energizer drink as this will allow the cat to one shot a mouse.

### Guarding Rockets

* If you know that the mouse is going to use their abilities to try and stop you from tying a mouse to a rocket, you can jump up when they activate their ability. This will make them waste their ability and have to close up on the rocket to save their teammate. This won't work if Tuffy is using his Cloaked Sensor Mine ability.

* Try to tie the mouse into the same rocket that you have tied before as rocket fuses instantly decrease by 10 seconds every time a mouse is rescued. This way, mice have less time to respond. However, if they have predicted your position, go for another rocket.

* Try to destroy all Vase types, as they serve more of a hazard than benefit due to the cat's much larger hitbox, which if thrown successfully can cause the cat to let go of the mouse. Of course, unless the player has already equipped Cautious.

### Wall Crack Phase

* When the Wall Crack appears, that is the best time to catch enemies off guard as they will have to focus on avoiding the cat and dealing damage to the crack at the same time, with the addition that Rockets will burn 4x faster.
