About Dogs vs Aliens
It is a 3D top-down arcade game that starts in a park, where the news reports that aliens are abducting pets everywhere, with dogs as their favorite target.
Your goal is to rescue every pet and get rid of every alien. Each caged animal needs coins and some affection before it comes out, and after that it follows you around on a lead.

Fighting is automatic. Your pets grab any alien that comes within range and drain its health for as long as they hang on. When an alien's health reaches zero, it goes into your backpack.
The aliens far outnumber you, but they are scared of animals, which is what makes this animal rescue possible. Captured aliens can be tossed or traded for coins and other rewards. High-value aliens pay out more than the regular ones.
There are three currencies: coins, gems and bones. Coins and gems unlock new pets and buy general upgrades for your walking speed, your backpack size and your pets' strength, and these upgrades apply to every dog. Bones are fed to one dog at a time to raise its level, and a dog that levels up enough changes into a new form.
You begin with a single dog and very few resources, so the start is slow. Progress comes from repeating the same loop of catching aliens and spending what you earn, a lot like an idle game.
Quests give you extra goals along the way. Alien documents lie scattered on the ground, and you cannot read them until you finish the Translator quest by bringing it aliens.
