Interesting move implementation! And the game is kinda difficult :D
Interesting idea, I rage quit eventually when i was 1 kitten left and a zombie kitten missed it, smashed into me slowing me down, then 4-5 kitten popped each of them making a “bring” noise :’D Great work!
I loved the very unique movement mechanics in this game. Haven't really seen something like that before :) this was quite fun for such a simple concept!
Quite satisfying game! I've played just a couple times but it was interesting to discover different strategies
Good simple game overall
I wish I could move a little faster, but overall enjoyed the frustration of it.
Cool game! I think the movement mechanic is pretty interesting (although my fingers are tired from spamming! ha). It became a little dull at around 2.5 minutes, but enjoyed it.
Concept is fun, but quite repetitive and could gain from some variation from run to run. Controls are a bit unintuitive, I spent the first run wandering why I couldn't control my alien before understanding that you don't have to hold the arrow but to repeatedly press in a direction to be able to move.
It looks nice and feels polish.
I think the link with the theme is a bit weak. I understand the idea of pandemic waves from your narrative but it doesn't reflect in gameplay. Maybe with way more kittens, densely packed, with shorter infection time, such that actual waves propagate from kitten to kitten would have been cool.
Overall it is fun to play for a few minute but quickly becomes too simple to get you involved and to make you want to come back.
I like the idea, seems pretty fun, but replayability needs a little work. Art is nice
Hmmm, I think I see what your intention was with the theme, but I can't help but feel it fell a bit flat. I like the cats, but the music is too loud. Spamming arrow keys was also a bit infuriating!
At least you liked the cats.
I certainly did! The movement felt good but the input method was lacking. It has a lot of potential!
