About the Game

COTS is a game about strategy. It’s a fun tower defense roguelike where chickens are the protagonists of their own story, and have to fight to defend their territory. But these are no ordinary chickens : they are Cots, chickens with unique abilities!

Each day, earn some new cards to upgrade and defend your coop: Your goal is to survive for as many nights as possible against waves of wild predators invading your land. To succeed, think up strategies using your Cots, eggs, buildings, traps, obstacles, and spells to repel the nighttime assaults!

Story

Since the tragic death of King Roosterico, the Protector of the coop, the cots have taken their destiny into their own wings, determined to defend their home and fight against the fierce predators threatening their land!

Cots

Each Cot is unique, with her own role and specific abilities. Upgrade and combine them to strenghten your defense! Your Cots also lay eggs that can be used as currency to purchase new cards and building upgrades.

Boosters

Every day, you will receive a booster containing three random cards from the Cots' goddess, the Golden Cot. But beware... if you play long enough, you may encounter the goddess's rather challenging twin, who will sometimes take her place.

Cards

Strategically use your cards to add traps, place obstacles, construct buildings, cast spells, or set up Cot houses. The more you play, the more new cards you can collect in your Encyclopedia!

Assaults

When night falls, use your Cots and spells wisely to defend your henhouse and buildings from predators. Each Cot will automatically fight and/or support others based on her assigned role.

Predators

There are different types of predators, each with its own specific traits. Be particularly cautious of the bosses... they show no mercy!

Never the same

Each playthrough offers different card loot and strategic options, guiding your game in unique ways. Which path will take you the farthest?
