Meowworkers!
We're excited to announce that the MEOWFACTORY Demo is now available during Steam Next Fest!
«Five years after the end of the world, humans have become completely lazy. The only ones who can save them now are the CAT FACTORY WORKERS»
Take charge of a team of FLUFFY HARD WORKERS and try to build the PERFECT PRODUCTION LINE! Just make sure the cats don't tear your factory apart in the process.
What's included in the DEMO:
A brand-new, completely revamped TUTORIAL!
4 levels from the main campaign!
Tons of events and unique cat behaviors!
To all our amazing fans: we'd really appreciate it if you could drop by over the next couple of days, check out what's new in the Demo, and support us with a review on the Steam Demo page!
ONLY THE BEST WORK AT MEOWFACTORY!
Dear Meowworkers!
We’re excited to announce that the MeowFactory game DEMO has FINALLY been released on Steam!
In the demo version, as managers of the Meow-X corporation, you’ll take the first steps in your new role—running a factory where your workers are CATS. You’ll go through tutorial and three introductory levels to get acquainted with the game and its core mechanics.
We’ve saved the most challenging levels and production chains for the full release, as well as majority of game content. Our development team is nearing the finish line, and we expect the full version to launch in the coming months! Full game will feature a complete campaign with over 15 unique puzzle levels, a free mode, and a survival mode!
We’ve put in a lot of effort and truly hope you’ll like the DEMO. Keep in mind, this isn’t the final product—there might be some rough edges or bugs, which we’ll fix as quick as we can. We’d love to hear your thoughts and impressions about the game. AND WE’D BE PARTICULARLY GLAD TO SEE YOUR REVIEWS ON THE DEMO PAGE in STEAM (Good or bad, we'd really appreciate any feedback)!
Early birds get to the factory first! Get your paws ready, put on your helmets, and let’s start the trial shift!
Dear Meowworkers!
We are launching STEAM PLAYTEST! MeowFactory is in the early stages of development, but we already have something to show, and your feedback is VERY important to us!
MeowFactory is recruiting hard workers for unpaid work internships at its enterprises!
Join us if you:
- Are a cat
- You have nothing to occupy yourself with
- Are you ready to work an 18-hour shift at the factory
- Ready to work in a not a bit hardworking team of other cats
We will review the applications throughout the week!
Follow the link below and sign up. Players - play, streamers - stream, and please don't be shy to write your impressions (good or bad, we need all of it)! Either in post-testing form or in our social media channels. We are refining the game and want to make it as clear and interesting as possible for all players.
There may be random bugs, we also ask you to tell us about them, we will edit them immediately!
And remember, ONLY the BEST work at the MeowFactory!
We, the developers from the indie studio Smola (known for the Lizards Must Die game series), are pleased to present to your attention our new small project - MeowFactory! We've been actively developing it for the last six months, and we finally have something to share!
It's time to pay attention to the really important and eternal thing - the FACTORY. We decided to mix Factorio, Sims and Overcooked together, and it WORKS. Accept a workshop where your employees will be CATS who behave like CATS.
In the not-so-distant future, after a nuclear and climate disaster, humans have completely surrendered control of the planet to an AI government, leading to the collapse of human civilization. Plants have been destroyed, and humans have lost both the skills and the desire to work in industrial enterprises, bringing everyone to the brink of starvation.
However, there is a solution! The Meow-X Corporation presents a new concept for survival: MeowFactory! Instead of humans, it is the cats who will take on all the production responsibilities! As the head of the facility, it is up to you to lead and train them! Just remember, it is not as simple as it may seem.
Build magnificent factories and automate production lines to meet the needs of the lazy humans!
Work with limited space, as each factory presents a challenge not only in terms of decision making speed, but also in terms of ingenuity and planning.
Assemble the most cohesive team of factory cats! Or at least prevent the fluffy demons from destroying the production lines.Your meoworkers behave literally like cats: they play with boxes, eat directly from the conveyor belt, fight with each other and catch mice. Keep an eye on them and rescue them from their tricky situations in time.
Cats have needs! Monitor their mood, satisfaction with their working conditions, and their pay. Otherwise, the cats will blow up, drown in mud, or burn down everything you've built, or at least turn your clean factory into a cat's hell brach.
Add game to your wishlist!

Brothers, due to the Unity update, we had new network errors that we WERE ABLE TO FIX:
A bug with the game crashing in a co-op of levels (Factory, Factory) with an error screen FIXED
The connection speed to the session has been increased (dear PLAYERS, wait about 10-12 seconds and everything will be fine). Previously, connection to lobby reached up to 25-30 seconds.
What could it be, if not Russ vs Lizards 2?
A great story, an excellent soundtrack, stunning surroundings and the most fun cooperative! All this is part of the experience of playing Lizards must Die 2!
Gabe personally wrote to us that all the other nominations are for Lizards must Die 2, so we're voting for LMD2 in the game of the year category to beat Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in heavy combat.

A THOUSAND APOLOGIES that we've been missing for a long time, but we've been missing for a reason, the work is in full swing. Finally, we can come back to YOU, BROTHERS, with the news from our studio.
Right today, the game has released a content addition for the game Russ vs Lizards 2.
The full list of updates can be found below:
"WAVE" MODE. A new level of "HYPERBOREA", which can be completed alone or with friends. Repel the attack of hundreds of lizards in the "Challenge" mode.
LEADERBOARDS for wave mode. Now you can not only kill crowds of lizards, but also compete with OTHER PLAYERS to see who made it COOLER.
A new opponent is the Fire Lizard officer. A mini boss designed to diversify your game in old locations and on a new map for WAVE mode.
Improvements:
Hub updates. Now you can summon more opponents in the ARENA in the hub
Treatment and mana recovery have also become available for the Hub
Improved lighting in various locations
Fixing the Stuck Lizards
Other minor bug fixes
We would also like to share with you further updates for the game. We have already prepared a NEW MAP and a NEW CHARACTER for you, we are rolling and testing them at the moment. The release is scheduled for this fall!
And finally, our studio, SMOLA GAMES (aka theBratans), is not only slowly working on the second part and thinking HARD about what to do next with the game's universe, but is also busy working on a SMALL project unrelated to Rus and Lizards, which we also hope to announce this fall.
GOOD LUCK, brothers!
