What is Nine Lives Market?
Nine Lives Market is a free cat autobattler you play in your browser. Each round you buy cards at your stall in the night market, grow your cat's build, press Ready and watch the fight play out on its own. You play as one of two real cats, Busya or Simba, each with their own skills and an ultimate. Play solo against bots or open a room for 2–8 players. Empty seats fill with bots. It is made in Ukraine by the Nine Lives Market team, and the early beta opens in November 2026.

Who makes it
Made in Ukraine
One developer and two very opinionated cats. This is an early beta: things will break, numbers will change, and your feedback shapes the game.
Is it free?
Yes. Free in the browser, with no pay-to-win.
Is Nine Lives Market a shop or a market?
No, it's a video game: a free cat autobattler you play in your browser. The “market” is the night market inside the game, where your cat shops for cards. If you were looking for a store or market with a similar name, that's a different place. We're just a game about two cats.
Do I need to download or sign up?

Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Turn your phone or tablet to landscape, or play on a computer.
When does the beta open?
