Game Mechanics
Complete guide to all core gameplay systems and mechanics in Catch And Tame.
Catching & Taming Mechanics
- The Lasso: Your primary tool. Use your lasso to grab animals and pull them into your pen.
- Strength & Clicking: Each animal has a strength stat. To catch them, you must click rapidly to fill the capture bar.
- Capture Bar: A progress bar appears when taming. Fill it before the animal despawns or is stolen by another player.
- Auto-Clickers: While effective, some high-tier animals may have "anti-autoclick" measures.
- Exceeding Strength: You can catch animals slightly above your lasso's strength by clicking rapidly, but it requires high effort.
Pen Management
Passive Income
Every animal in your pen generates "Bucks per second." Collect regularly by walking through your pen.
Expanding the Pen
Use your earnings to extend the fence on all sides to accommodate more and larger pets.
- First expansions cost around $100,000
- Later expansions can cost up to $1,000,000 or more
- Expanding to 30 pets costs around $1,000,000
- Further expansions can jump to $20,000,000
Animal Posts
Use posts ($10,000) to tether your pets in place. This makes the pen organized and easier to manage breeding or collecting profits.
Pro Tip: Tether your highest-earning pets near the front for easy collection.
Selling Pets
Keep your inventory clean. Use the "Hammer" tool to select and sell lower-value pets (e.g., those earning less than $10-$20 per second) to make room for rarer finds.
Feeding & Leveling
Food Shop: Buy food (Modest XP growth) for $75. You can buy in bulk using the "Buy All" button.
Feeding: Feeding your animals increases their level (XP), which improves their stats and unlocks breeding potential.
Focus Leveling: It's most efficient to feed all your food to your highest-earning pet to maximize ROI.
Level Requirements: Some features, like breeding, require pets to reach a certain level before they can participate.
Income Growth: Higher-level pets provide more income. Typical growth factor is 10-15% per level.
Breeding System
How to Breed: Place two animals in your pen, open the breeding menu, and select the two parents.
Breeding Time: Wait for the egg to hatch. Breeding has a cooldown period (varies by recipe, typically 1.5-15 minutes).
Success Rates: Each recipe has a specific success rate (e.g., 2% for Liger, 6.7% for Giraffe).
Failed Attempts: Failed breeding attempts still consume the cooldown timer.
Level Requirements: Some recipes require minimum parent levels (e.g., Liger requires level 5+).
Random Results: Breeding unrelated animals often results in common offspring that aren't worth the effort.
Shop & Boosts
Food: Increases XP and reduces breeding cooldowns.
Luck Boosts: Essential for finding rare mutations like Gold, Albino, or Glass variants.
Time Skip: For 40 Robux, you can skip 1 hour of game time to instantly collect massive amounts of cash based on your current pen's production.
Speed Boost (50 Robux): Increases movement speed, allowing you to reach rare spawns before other players.
Collect All Button (100 Robux): Highly recommended QoL upgrade that allows you to collect all cash from your pen with one click.
Server Luck (50 Robux/15 min): Increases the spawn rate of rare and mutated animals for the entire server.
Premium Features
Exclusive Eggs (200 Robux): Hatch high-tier pets that provide massive income (e.g., $1,000+ per second).
Mythical Starter Pack: For a small amount of Robux (e.g., 9 Robux), get a head start with high-income pets.
Weather Totems: Available from daily rewards (Day 5 and Day 7) or the exclusive shop.
Special Features
Mystery Animals: Glowing "Mystery" spawn points reveal random animals, which have a chance to be high-tier or rare mutations.
The Trait Machine: Sacrifice unwanted pets/cash to add hats or traits (like +20% money) to your top-tier animals.
Daily Rewards: Log in every day. Claim free Weather Totems on Day 5 and Day 7.
Pro Tips
- Don't over-click if an animal is too strong - save up for a better lasso first
- Watch for stealers - other players can interfere with your taming process
- Always prioritize Mystery spawns as they can yield rare creatures
- Focus your resources on leveling up Epics and Legendaries that make the most money
- Use Animal Posts to organize your pen for maximum efficiency
