  • Cat!!!! I love it so much, the cat looks so great and the concept is really good. It's fun to play when you get into it. I think that the music matches well with the feel of this game.

Loved the art and the sounds, game was actually pretty hard, tried my best but didn't get to defeat the hand guy

Thanks for playing! I would have loved to do some more balancing and or add I frames on hit to help with the difficulty curve.

Awesome art and style! It is quite difficult but very engaging.

Appreciate it! That was my challenge was trying to hit that sweet spot of challenging but not insanely difficult. I wanted to add i frames to the bullets but didn't get around to it to help with the difficulty curve.

Cool visuals!

I think the boss fight is kind of hard but besides that is very well made. The only things i could suggest is to add sound or visual feedback to when you get hit by the boss projectiles. There where a few times in which i thought i barely avoided a projectile and sometimes i actually got hit and in others i didn't. 

Another thing is that the page of the game has a black background and black font on top, players will miss the information you guys wrote!

i love cats so this'll be a favorite of mine! <3

( I'll beat the boss later >:) )

Thank you for the feedback! That's good to note and I definitely wanted to add more in terms of getting damaged and damaging the boss so I totally agree there.  I also feel bad I didn't get some I frames in for the bullets so you don't get triple tapped either by the same bullet or 3 at an intersection. I appreciate the kind words and great feedback though I'll fix the page design for the text right now as well.
