This is pure chaos XD. It felt quite clunky on keyboard controller was definitely the way to go. I would have liked to see where I was on the leaderboard because I did not make top 10 sadly :[  A rare upgrade that can heal your cat shield again would be nice because it was doomed from the beginning because I was figuring out the game at first. Very good job!

Hey ! Thanks for playing :) If you tell me the nickname you used I can find you in the dashboard :)

I really enjoyed the world building and themes of the game! The mechanics and visuals are also all very well fleshed out! I wanted to keep playing it but I am going on to review other games! Very great game!

Developer(+1)

Hi there ! Thanks a lot :) I There's so many games to play, lots of great ones in there ! I'm so sad I can't comment anymore since itch thinks i'm a bot :(

Very cool gameplay, and great twist to have those magic cats to protect!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! :D

Verrrry fun and juicy gameplay mechanics. I can definitely see this being expanded into a full game. Super satisfying and intuitive. Has all the ingredients for something that could perform well on steam.

Developer(+1)

Wow thanks a lot ! I didn't think about it at first but this game could be a fun twist on the genre. It has some things to sort out to make it engaging long term without leaning too much into the "statsmaxxing" and relying more on the controller, but well i'll think about it !

I really enjoyed doing my lightning build. I'll be sure to try the other builds as well. This game looks really polished. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot :)

Nice game, great feedback on the actions! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! Your game was really cool as well :)

Submitted(+1)

super juiced up game! i went with a sawblade build which felt amazing, i'll for sure try out some other ones soon

Developer(+2)

Hey there ! Thanks a lot :) Sawblades are kinda busted at some point yes :D But imo the two other effects are more satisfying so I always go for those (Hence why the blades are OP, I did not test them quite as much because i'm addicted to explosions..)

Submitted(+1)

Very Awesome Game. I am a huge fan! I loved the lightning path. Almost got leader board, but got just below #10. Good job!

Developer(+2)

Thanks ! I'm a huge fan of the lightning chains as well! It's so satisfying ! At the beginning of the jam, this was an area attack that just stunned enemies.. At some point I added lightning FX on it, and it became obvious the stun had to go away. Lightning chains was its replacement :D

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game, great job!

The only issue I see is that I'm just constantly going in circles, so it feels a little repetitive after a while

Developer(+1)

Hey there ! Thanks for the feedback :)

Yep in some cases (Endgame is the worst offender imo) it's more or less the way to go, which isn't great. I added some enemies to spice things up a bit and reward going further (necromancers and ranged enemies) but if you have a build that clears the screen it's not very effective anyway. I'll think of something later :)

This game is so freaking awesome and satisfying to play!!! The squash sound effect is perfect, and I'm loving the upgrades, but every time I heard the cats get damaged (I am NOT good at this game...) a part of my soul broke, IT WAS SO SAD TO SEE THEM EXPLODE NOOOO

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! I took my time fine tuning the sound design, always glad it gets noticed :D The key to the squash sounds was to add a huge pitch variation because it would be played hundreds of times per minute :D

Submitted(+1)

Legit could play this for hourssss, such a good game and cute art style!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! I shouldn't say that as a dev but it is addictive, every single time I had to test a feature or a slight metric change I would play for 5 minutes at least. Not very efficient but well :D

Fun little game

Thanks mate ! Cheers

WOW! This is absolutely incredible for a jam game, great game, I had a good time playing it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! I worked way too much during these two weeks. But hey, no regrets !

Submitted(+1)

Might be my favorite game of the jam. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words ! It means a lot :)

Submitted(+1)

I wasted 20 minutes of my life... ONLY TO BE THROWN IN MY FACE THAT THE KITTENS DIED BECAUSE OF ME??? MAN, I FEEL BAD...

Anyway, after being told I'm a monster, I can say that this game is one of the gems of this jam (I'm kind of a skill issue, I guess, I only killed 1200 of them).

Developer(+2)

Sorry D: at first I wanted to make several stages and have you ACTUALLY WIN, but I got distracted.. adding.. more explosions.. and zombies.  I'll probably go that route later when the jam ends, if I end up working on this game a bit more :) (And still keep an endless mode for tryhards like the ones on top of the leaderboards)

Doing this kind of jam solo is exhausting, it was a LOT of fun but i'm drained haha

Thanks a lot for playing ! You're not the monster, I probably am (Cats should teleport instead of exploding, but .. EXPLOSIONS)


This jam probably drove me mad or something

Submitted(+1)

"Hey kitty kitty, wait... NO... THE ZOMB-" *boom*  "NOOOOOOOOOOO"

It would be really fun to have a mode where my cats don't explode LOL, and I appreciate you doing all this alone, I'm also EXHAUSTED even working in a group (14 hours sitting in a chair isn't for everyone).

Developer(+1)

I'll do that ! The pictures of my cat judging you guys is enough punishment I guess. No need to blow up more cat magicians.

Take some well deserved rest ! You earned it :)

Submitted(+1)

Action packed mayhem!

Good job :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks friend ! :)

Submitted(+1)

Extremely well made, and super fun to play! My only gripe is that I got upgrades very often, and I would prefer to get stronger upgrades spaced further apart.

Developer(+1)

Hey ! Thanks a lot for the feedback  :) Leveling was quite hard to balance indeed, I made a lot of balancing on the difficulty side of things but the xp progression was indeed left behind for a while. 

Submitted(+1)

That's a #1 on Enjoyment at least. Really fun to play, the game feel is through the roof.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot !  I had a lot of fun developing this game, it feels really good to see people having fun as well !

Submitted(+1)

Amazing!! I enjoyed a lot this game, its very funny and addictive :]]

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ! :D

Help I can't loose ToT

The saws create more saws, which; in return, create more saws. XoX

Getting the game progression to break was really fun! ^0^

Developer(+2)

Well.. I did not nerf this hard enough ! At least now there are the ranged enemies, if they survive long enough there's still a way to lose if you go afk haha. Those were hard to balance, in early game saws are kinda meh but they can just scale to infinity in endgame ! Maybe those duration buffs were too much, who knows :D

It's hard to keep some decent balance in a game with no incremental stats ! I had many ideas of new zombies that would counter some of the effects to encourage ramming the mobs :D

Submitted

Nice ^v^
