Ops

The release date for Ops is July 19, 2026, on PC. This arcade-style action title casts you as an operator of the Karl Zjunior Very Lethal Array, a massive energy weapon disguised as a radio telescope. Your primary objective is to defend a New Mexico cattle ranch from extraterrestrial invaders and predatory chupacabras by ablating them before they can abduct or consume the livestock.

The gameplay focuses on heat management and target prioritization as you protect your antennas from melting under alien laser fire. Developed by individuals with actual experience operating the Very Large Array, the game blends a dry, government-office sense of humor with high-stakes resource protection. Success depends on your ability to track multiple threats simultaneously while the difficulty spikes with faster abduction attempts and tougher terrestrial monsters. It is a focused, high-score chaser for players who want a satirical spin on classic planetary defense mechanics. Watch the skies and save the cows.
