Don’t you hate when this happens to you? You’re sitting in your attic, trying to read a book on cats, and suddenly, cats are jumping in your lap. But it’s not just one cat, it’s an onslaught of cats. So you have to build a fort to keep all the cats out. That’s the basic premise of Fort Meow, an upcoming iPad game from Surprise Attack Games and Upper Class Walrus that mixes up elements of castle defense with physics building, as you try to keep yourself from being bothered by cats.
You’ll be stacking up chairs, TVs, mattresses, pillows, and other household objects, in order to keep all the cats out. Each item has a time cost to build, and can be destroyed by being hit by too many cats. You get more time as you play, and have a flying robot friend who can get new items for you between rounds of play. It’s kind of a puzzle game in that you have to use your resources properly, though you have some real-time elements like using repair items to save your powerful defenses. It’s a game that’s got a lot of familiar elements, but the combination of them all seems to add up to something brand new. Fort Meow releases on June 25th and will be out on Steam and iPad simultaneously on that day.
