The Story:

You are tasked with the unbelievably important duty of protecting the Alien Queen on her journey to a mysterious, wondrous planet filled with oodles of cardboard boxes!

It won't be easy, however, the planet's sea life has taken to the stars and is defending their home from invasion!

  Fight back with a total of 7 classes, each with their own unique attributes to mix and match. 


The Gameplay:

Here's a handy guide for any of you who haven't been to space before:

 summon a UFO by clicking the handy "SUMMON UFO" button on the top right.

 place a troop of your choice inside by dragging a cat into the UFO

 swap them out anytime you like by dragging another cat into the UFO

 keep an eye on your battery power, right click to deactivate a troop

 mix and match every class and see if you can come up with a devastating combination!


Controls:

Left Click: Grab troops and move UFOs around.

Right Click: Turn the power of the UFO on/off to recharge.

This is awesome! I think it's perfect as a jam game, in that it isn't a super punishing game and it just lets you mess around with the mechanics. A bullet hell where you have all these ships you have to drag around with the mouse makes for a great multitasking game. It's almost like a weird tower defense.
