About Sky Critters
Sky Critters is tower defense played from the cockpit of a drone. Critters approach your base, and you fly out over the map to shoot them down, collecting coins for each one you take down. The base has to stay standing while the attackers keep coming.
It supports online multiplayer, on touch screens and desktops alike. The creator used Cursor during development, with Three.js as the engine, and it ranked 140th of 945 in Vibe Jam 2026.
There are no static turrets doing the work for you. You are the defense, moving the drone into position and firing directly at the critters as they come. The coins you earn in combat go toward upgrading your gear, so each round feeds into a stronger setup for the next.
