About the Game

In the quaint, happy world of Beeflandia - our hero, Beef Cat, and friends always found ways to celebrate good times. The vibes certainly changed, however, when Some Big Guy showed up and started causing a ruckus.

  • Several Visually Distinct Worlds

  • 7+ Game Modes (Survivors/Gauntlet/Collectathon)

  • 6 Playable Characters

  • Dozens of Unique Pickups

  • Fully Original Chiptune Rock Soundtrack

  • Beeflandia always finds ways to change the game, so be prepared to adapt on the fly.

  • Survivors has you scrambling through hand-crafted stages collecting items and beating baddies for a certain time limit. Recognizable and classic Survivors gameplay

  • Gauntlet has you exploring linear stages destroying enemy spawners while you collect keys and unlock gates like the classic Gauntlet series.

  • Collectathon has you exploring set piece focused stages in the hunt to find all the collectible gemmies

  • Horde has you in a tight arena with a regular timed interval of upgrades and tasks you with defeating a certain number of a specific enemy

  • Boss stages put you against large multi-attack based boss foes in tight arenas with a limited toolkit

  • Volleyball and Deathmatch pit you in tight competitive arenas against either AI opponents or another real player via shared screen local play or Steam Remote Play

  • Navigate a retro over-world map as you clear stages in a somewhat loose order that allows you to pick and choose your favorite game modes.

  • Find tents in the world map to unlock new playable characters that have distinct play styles ranging from completely defensive kits to kits focused on speed and critical hits.

  • Use the coins you collect in stages at shops to buy permanent stat boosts or unlock shortcuts and more.
