Starcats

Starcats is a local multiplayer game for 2–4 players. Four cats have escaped from prison on a distant alien planet and must steal a ship before their suits run out of power. You work with and against the other players to become captain, commandeer a ship and escape.

Survive and compete

You need to cooperate to activate four generators and power the ship, but cooperation is not required as a strategy: you can form temporary alliances, break promises and watch for backstabbing. Players who survive earn points, so you must also find ways to compete while staying alive.

Explore and scavenge

Each time you crash, the game generates a new map. You explore distinct, vibrant biomes to find generators and gold, and may also scavenge items around the map. Gold can be spent between rounds on items such as vine traps that hold players in place and giant hammers that launch nearby players away.

Fight as a spectre

After your cat dies, you can control its spectre and continue to disrupt the other players by draining their energy and scaring them to death. Cats appear in both corporeal and spectral forms.
