About the Game

Fly through solar-system, hunt evil entities and survive fast, aggressive space combat built around constant movement, weapon choices, and pressure. 

As you fight evil entities in solar system, you collect psychic cat cards. Then you can use your cat cards to claim land on  planets. For each land you claimed, you are allowed to enter any text you want. If the land is already occupied, you can drive them out if you have the better psychic cat cards deck.

Each conquerable land on a planet is a verse on that planetary holy book. Thus the game allows players to collectively write planetary holy books. The 11 different books is accessible for anyone to read on the games website. Readers can also vote on the verses, affecting their fate in the solar flash. Solar flash is an event that occurs every couple of months, where verses that have lots of dislikes are purged and the game continues with the rest of the verses.

Each one of 110 psychic cat cards is based on real cats that are happily living in Türkiye.
