About 18 Lives

Two cats × nine lives = XVIII

18 Lives LLC is a small, independent game studio building for iPhone, Android and PC on Steam. We make tower defense, idle, incremental, logic puzzle and arcade launcher games, starting with Cats vs Mice, a classic tower defense game.

The name comes from the logo: two cats, nine lives apiece. It's also how we make games. Build it, play it, lose a life, try again.
