About This Game

Welcome to The Planet, where cozy and chaos collide in a compelling new way!  Explore colorful handmade biomes, find and recruit lovingly crafted characters, harvest diverse resources, and build a cozy little home for your growing clowder.  It's cozy gaming with a fresh new twist!

Create a lovely little home to chill in, then take to the diverse biomes of The Planet to gather resources to help you create a better home to let you gather more resources to help you create a better home, to help you.... you get it. Gather items while dodging enemies that are flying at you from all directions.  Or choose to not bother dodging them with Cozy Mode!

With a bizarre smushing together of two very different genres, Cats vs Aliens lets you enjoy the cozy aspects of farm sims and base builders alongside the dodge-and-pray combat of bullet heaven roguelites.  Or ignore all that and enable Cozy Mode at any point in time - even in the middle of combat - to turn the game into the chillest roguelite you've ever tried.  Play with as little or as much intensity as you'd like!

Explore the world to find and recruit the many lovingly crafted playable characters that each bring their own exciting unlockable something or other to the game.  Play as any character you unlock and explore all of the pawsibilities the new characters offer.

With combat and levelling straight from the bullet heaven genre, you can create new builds every time you leave your base.  Grow your powers, expand you collection of upgrades, and find the most game-breaking builds fathomable!

Visit a weirdly wonderful world where characters are cute, the dialogue is punny (and ridiculous at times - I just can't help myself), and the environment is lovingly hand-crafted by me, Echo in a Void!  My brain's always been a funky place to live, and now you can come along for a peculiar journey through some of my favorite parts of it!  It's a truly unique experience that you won't find anywhere else.  At least until I make another game.  I'll probably have to change this description at that point.
