Whiskers In The Sand

About this game

Your squad of curious whiskered beings decided to check out a newly unearthed pyramid. What's the worst that could happen?

Well… you accidentally woke up its long-dead pharaoh.
A pharaoh who immediately assumed you were tomb-raiding freeloaders, got extremely offended, and kidnapped your entire group—except you.

Luckily, Sekhmet—daughter of Ra, goddess of war, and part-time professional pharaoh-annoyer—steps in to save your furry hide. She's got her own ancient beef with the guy and is more than happy to use you as a whiskered instrument of revenge.

Now it's up to you to battle through waves of undead lackeys, save your friends, and remind a resurrected tyrant why cats were worshipped in the first place.

A Survivors-Like With Claws

Whiskers In The Sand plays like a mix of Brotato and Vampire Survivors, except you're a divine-backed cat in a desert full of undead maniacs. Survive short, intense waves; buy upgrades between rounds; build hilarious (or disastrous) item combos; and pray Sekhmet's blessing doesn't turn into a cosmic prank.

Features

  • Choose Your Hero:
    Unlock a lineup of brave (and slightly overconfident) cats—plus one dog—each with unique traits and divine quirks that shape your playstyle.

  • Wave-Based Mayhem:
    Each wave lasts about a minute. Just enough time for the pharaoh to send overwhelming hordes—and for you to disappoint him again.

  • Shop ‘Til You Drop-mummies:
    Between waves, buy items, upgrade weapons, and experiment with builds that might break the game… or break you.

  • Roguelite Progression:
    Collect scarab coins to unlock permanent upgrades. Become stronger over time until even the gods start side-eyeing your power level.

  • Divine Allies, Petty Agendas:
    The Egyptian gods are actually on your side this time—not out of kindness, but because the pharaoh is that unbearable.

  • Plenty of Items, Plenty of Shenanigans:
    Mix and match relics, augments, and weapons to create wild build combinations. Yes, some of them shouldn't work. Yes, they still do.

  • Epic Music by Dana Roskvist:
    Most of the soundtrack is composed by Dana Roskvist, whose talent ensures the combat feels vastly more dramatic than your cat probably deserves.

  • Save Your Friends, Defy a Pharaoh, Look Cute Doing It:
    Rescue your captured companions and claw your way to the throne room for a showdown thousands of years overdue.

Whiskers In The Sand

Dive into the desert to shred through waves of undead and sand-born horrors. Whiskers In The Sand mixes survivors-like arena combat with roguelite buildcrafting — unlock new cats, gather relics, stack upgrades, and forge ridiculous builds. Experiment, survive, and end the pharaoh's second reign.
