About this game
In a twist of fate, our heroes learn of a safe haven ark. Their journey ends at its gates, only to be shunned—King Chipmunk has reserved every spot on the upper deck! What a jerk. Amidst a crowd of seatless creatures, there’s but one option left: dethrone the tyrant chipmunk.
Play at your own pace through async multiplayer! Chill out in Arena Mode and battle against user-generated teams to earn 10 Victories. Want to test your skills? Climb the leaderboard in Rapture Mode and utilize powerful Buff Cards to build an overpowered squad while battling endless waves of teams.
The flood is coming. Only the Ark will save them. That is… unless the evil King Chipmunk reserves all the seats! Fight for your own salvation and hone your skills in a complete single-player campaign filled with hand-drawn cutscenes and art.
Collect and customize a massive variety of silly and adorable animals ranging across the animal kingdom. Bearbarians, Catsassins, Samurai Shibas, and… Hamster Weebs? Learn their strengths, weaknesses, and synergies to assemble your team.

Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 1.17.18
I want to preface today’s patch by thanking everyone for playing the game and enjoying the content updates and new animal families we worked so hard to make. This is the last patch to add a new animal family: Reptiles! Going forward, we won’t have the bandwidth to add new content anymore. The game is still going to remain up and running on all platforms, but the sales aren’t steady enough to warrant content production. We’ll keep the game servers up and running for as long as our studio stays alive so you can continue to enjoy everything we made so far.Aside: If you are interested in physical Trading Card Games, we have been working on a side project called Echoes of Astra that combines world class anime art and tactical decision making in a card game. Follow Echoes of Astra Kickstarter here.
