In Cat-Astrophy, every hit matters.

Our Fatigue system is not just a simple energy bar. It is a core combat mechanic that sets the pace of every encounter and pushes players to make constant decisions: do you keep pushing with a relentless combo, or do you step back for a moment and regain control of the fight?

Fatigue directly shapes how you chain attacks, manage offense, and get the most out of the Star Cursor. The more aggressive you are, the more important it becomes to master your timing so you do not run out of room when the pressure peaks. And once you learn to handle it properly, combat opens up completely: cleaner combos, sharper dodges, and much more expressive builds.

We want every encounter to feel fast, technical, and satisfying. That is why fatigue is not meant to punish the player blindly, it rewards those who know when to press forward, when to hold back, and when to turn aggression into true combat control.

Are you ready to stay calm in the middle of a cosmic storm?
