Sassy Cat in Space

Play the game everyone's talking about

What is this "Sassy Cat" game of which you speak?

Sassy Cat in Space is a delightful little turn based galactic domination simulator. If you have ever wondered what it would be like to hop into a ship that seems to hate you, fly to real exoplanets and attempt to conquer them in order to gain political power and rule the galaxy then this is your game.

Gameplay

To begin the sassiness simply navigate to https://secure-castle-53195.herokuapp.com/.

Decide to play

Now that you've spent exactly 3 minutes and 14 seconds listening to the amazing music, press the "Click to Play" button.

Choose your character

This is your opportunity to create a meaningful and serious name. Something like, Gizmo FluffyNugget or Cuckoo Cheesepants, possibly Steve? Let your imagination run wild before controling it again, because you're an adult. Once the name has been chosen you will need to select the cat face of your dreams then BLAST OFF!

Explore the ship

Finally, you've been given command of your very own ship, a sassy, sassy ship. After your morning routine then you have two choices, "Conquer New Planet" or "Give Up Like a Wuss". There is only one clear choice and that is to give up. Good luck!

Dominate a random planet

You land on the first planet that is just begging to be conquered. Before you lie three options.

• Attack - Fire all your laser swords at them and hope for victory
• Charge - Save your Phasoors and double the power
• Heal - Drink lots of Medkits and double your health

Make your choice and fire when ready.

Die, die, become a slave, die and then maybe win!

There is very little hope that you will ever win a game. I suggest that you just give up now. However, if you think you might be up to the challenge then you'll need to learn the patterns that the inhabitants of these planets use to defend themselves. Once you've done that then galactic domination is yours!
