How it feels

Controlling a young inventor and his robo-cat to reclaim stolen crystals feels like a brisk blend of shooting and commanding units in a colorful, cartoonish alien invasion.

What players say

Players praise it as a co-op family game mixing RTS, tower defense and third-person action, but note the campaign forces a rigid path by unlocking units anew each level, making it feel puzzle-like. Reviews split on the dialogue: some find it funny, others cringe. Online multiplayer is reportedly empty.
