Cat City: Idle Tycoon is a idle tycoon with several overlapping progression systems. The quickest way to improve is not to upgrade everything. Focus on the next meaningful objective, strengthen the systems that directly support it and keep enough flexibility to respond when a new feature, stage or challenge appears.
