How to play
Tap or click the cat to collect stars. Spend stars in the left panel to hire helpers — each adds a fixed number of stars per second, so your total keeps rising even when you stop tapping. As your lifetime stars grow you climb a ladder of witch ranks, each a milestone toward the free art reward. Three switchable night themes (Moonlit Garden, Witch Cottage, Starry Rooftop) change the mood as you play.

Tips & strategy
- Front-load cheap helpers. The value column isn't flat — Shadow Kitten returns more per star than Witch Tower. Buying several early helpers snowballs faster than saving for one big one.
- Let it idle. Once you own a few helpers, closing and reopening the tab still grows your total.
- Chase Witch Tower late. At +20/sec it dwarfs everything; once stars stop feeling scarce it carries you to Midnight Empress.
- Tap hard early. Before helpers cover income, manual taps are your fastest route to that first 100⭐ Shadow Kitten.
