First Look

This devlog for Cats vs. Aliens lets you take a peep at this game to learn the who, what, and why of this project.

This three-ish-minute video will give you a glimpse at some gameplay and let you know where I started and where I planned to take it way back at the beginning.  Hopefully I can avoid too much scope creep and stick to the plan!
