Ooglians

Early access since Dec 2022

Ooglians are coming! Nothing excites an ooglian more than smashing machinery. Protect your machinery with more machinery which attracts even more ooglians. How unfortunate.

Evaluation

Ooglians has been in Early Access since December 15, 2022. In September 2023, the developer published a roadmap outlining four updates on the path to a 1.0 release. Update 1 (walls/pathfinding) and Update 2 (factories and resources) were both shipped by September 26, 2023. However, Update 3 (belts and automation) and Update 4 (meta progression and research) were never delivered. After September 2023, developer communication went largely quiet. The most recent post, dated June 19, 2025, acknowledged a long period of silence and explained that a recent update had destabilized the game, prompting a rollback to an earlier build. In that same post, the developer expressed a hope to return with bug fixes and content, but was explicit that nothing is confirmed yet, partly because they are also working on other projects. Two of the four roadmap milestones remain unshipped, and the developer's current level of commitment to completing them is uncertain. The game remains in Early Access with outstanding promises and no confirmed timeline for 1.0.
Evidence
Developer returns after a long silence, rolls back a destabilizing update, and expresses hope to bring bug fixes and new content — but states nothing is set in stone and that they are working on other projects as well.

About this game

Welcome!

The tower defense base builder you never realized you wanted!

Straight out of a fever dream, here is... Ooglians!

What are Ooglians?

Ooglians are a mysterious species.

It's unknown whether they are technophobes or destructophiles,

but they sure love smashing machinery to bits.

You are not an Ooglian.

You are... you. It's not up to me to tell you who you are.

Why are you on this planet?

What is your goal?

It is, as of now, unknown. Maybe if you protect your reactor, you'll find out.

FEATURES

Build the base around your reactor

Ooglians are attracted by the machinery

Ooglians try to destroy your base

Build more machines to defend your base

Attract more ooglians

It's a game loop

You lose when if your reactor dies
