Cats vs. Aliens is now listed on Steam! Join the Play Test and Wishlist now!
I'm getting closer every day to the official demo release! Thank you to everyone who has participated to far in the playtest and provided feedback. Your efforts help my efforts!
In the mean time, here's the latest news directly from MEEEE!
You can also always follow along on Reddit as well by following my account (u/HoppersEcho) there!
It's an invasion! Help Kitsy Katsy recruit her fellow sapient, bipedal animal folk to build a cozy home amidst the chaos on The Planet. In this light-hearted and fresh take on familiar game mechanics, you'll find and recruit allies to your cause, build a cozy home base, farm resources to improve your chances of survival. Then, if you feel like it, find a way to rid The Planet of the aliens. Or not. This is fine, too.
This is an important step for the game! A key feature is the ability to find and recruit other characters so that you can choose which you want to play as. I am aiming for 10-15 characters at v 1.0 release, with more to come in subsequent updates. Each character will bring a unique weapon, ability, or mechanic to the game.
I love interacting with the environment in games. I love base expansion mechanics. With both factors of these in mind, I've aimed to squeeze the most fun into this game as possible. Defend yourself as you traverse the landscape through the invasion to find loot to harvest and upgrade your base and characters.
AAA and generative AI be darned, I said (well, I got more... creative... than that, but let's keep things tasteful here). I'll handmake it ALL, I said.
A massive undertaking, you say? Yes, but don't you worry, I've got this! No computer will ever be able to match my brain, and I'll fight anyone about that for the next thousand years! A thousand and one, though, maybe I'll let it go...
Traverse a world, infinitely! I've laid out the world chunks by hand, and let the game stitch together my masterpieces in random order to give you the upsides of both a handcrafted map and procedural generation. Wander, find more stuff, wander more, find more different stuff. It's ENDLESS!
Pixel art is an extremely lightweight way to keep this game looking good through the years. This highly stylized aesthetic keeps games playable long after they've been released, and helps prolong battery life of handheld gaming devices, which is how I envision you best enjoying this game.
