Cosmo Corgis

Cosmo Corgis is a cozy desktop companion idler in which Scout, an astronaut, gathers resources, upgrades his equipment and travels between ten planets to rescue ten stranded corgis on his way home. Scout performs the work automatically while you work or watch him and the corgis. The six corgi personalities keep him company, each with a colored space suit and backpack.

Rescue the corgis

Scout’s ship crashes on each planet, and he automatically rescues a corgi there. The crew grows with every rescue, taking turns showing their personalities, with occasional close-ups. On planet 10, all ten corgis come together for a reunion. You can stay with them as long as you like or restart the journey.

Gather and upgrade

Scout gathers resources to repair his ship and reach the next planet. You can upgrade his axe to collect more wood, his pickaxe to collect more ore, and work toward a laser rifle. You can also expand his trailing storage cart so he can stay out longer and increase the base storage capacity. The default autopilot manages upgrades, or you can choose what to improve next.

The corgi personalities

• Mechanic: wears yellow, welds beside the rocket with sparks and a little “Bzzzz.”
• Security: wears blue, chases visiting wildlife with an oversized megaphone and amplified barks.
• Mining: wears amber and gathers resources with a backpack laser.
• Lazy: wears purple and unfolds a hover bed from its backpack to get comfortable.
• Chaos: wears red, does zoomies and chases balls from its backpack launcher.
• Clingy: wears green, follows Scout and helps carry resources.

Repair and fly

Scout’s ship carries him from planet to planet, but his bad piloting means he crash-lands on each one. He emerges unscathed every time and needs to build good safety systems. The ship also has to make room for the corgi rescued on that planet, so it comes apart and gets repaired before the crew blasts off toward the next planet and repeats the process.

Desktop companion

The game sits along the bottom of your desktop or in either bottom corner, with a transparent background. You can keep Scout and the corgis in front of your other apps or bring your windows forward to work. The game includes peaceful music and the corgis’ barks as they play; you can turn either off.
