Nice little game and you can't do anything wrong with a cat theme :D. I really liked the game "juice" (particles, sounds effects,...) you put in. It felt very satisfying playing the game and killing enemies. Would maybe also be a cool mobile game when you add some touch controls (twin stick controls), especially due to the portrait format of the game.

Congratulations to this cool game. First cat game in this jam! Jeah! :D

Thanks for playing! It is set up to work as a mobile twin stick shooter. Let me know if you had any bother on mobile. Cheers!

Wow, how did I not notice this game before?? I love it, it's so addictive. I must be into this genre, haha. I love the design, the atmosphere, and the game's concept and style. Practically everything. I was entertained for a really long time playing it, haha. It's a great piece of work! I guarantee you a 5/5 star rating.

Amazing game! Everything worked really well together to create a great experience. The game also balanced difficulty really well. I died just a few times but appreciate the continues. The achievements were also a nice touch. I loved the little jokes in the sector titles and the boss taunting you; it added a lot of character. I wasn't a big fan of the mobile aesthetic i just feel like the game deserved better than to be represented as a mobile game, but i see why you did it. Reminded me of The Binding of Isaac or Smash TV, of course. I would love to see this expanded into a roguelike; the combat worked super well. Great work, keep it up!

I love it, I get a little anxious when kittens die

Wow, I loved the style of this game, it's pretty cool how you added the damage effects and particles on the game. Only thing I ended up missing was some sort of upgrades, like firing extra projectiles or something like that. (But that's caused by my own expectation)

Hooray, I destroyed the boss and saved people, though not all the cats :).

My highest score: 3500. Even though I'm a cat, I had 3 lives instead of 9 :).

I really enjoyed saving the cats, although unfortunately I couldn't save everyone, but the thought that the cats can save us from the evil machines makes me calm :).

The graphics, sound effects, particles create a great atmosphere.

It was fun, congratulations!

Love the game, Pretty good and polish. Although I played on mobile and saw some bugs(Minor inconvenience) and I accept it cuz its a jam game :) other than that the game is pretty good😄

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Let me know what bugs you saw. It was pretty tight trying to squeeze everything in that I'm sure there are a few lurking!

Great entry with lots of polish. I also appreciate the “Continue” option, as I don’t have to restart the whole run when I die.

When I was backed into a wall, me or my pets would be killed from behind. Adding a warning indicator before enemies appear on screen could help with that, at least it would feel more like “my fault” if I die, and not just a “coincident”.

The achievements are a great way to let me explore the game for replay-ability as well as the high-score. Good job on this one.

If you plan on working more on the game, it could be cool with some more weapons and upgrades for each floor. maybe a laser, machine gun, granade launcher, etc.

Thanks for playing and appreciate the feedback, cheers!

Fun to play. Cat and guns! Good music and sound design. Great entry.

Very fun and complete game. I wish the shooting were automatic and for there to be some form of upgrades. Apart from that, the art was great, the music and sound design were great, and the boss was a good closing. Overall, very good entry!

Cool game - I liked to play it! The sound panned from the direction where the action happens is a nice feature!

Developer

Nice! Thanks for playing. I used this for the sfx:

It's super light and saved me from hunting down samples

Very fun gameplay! I like the graphics too

The game didn’t feel great on a laptop touchpad, but it worked really well with a mouse. The controls are solid overall.

Very polished game, feels great to play. The cats reminded me of the prisoners in Metal Slug, love the idea. Maybe turn up the difficulty a little bit, but making this in 15 days is crazy. Good job, keep it up! <3

Great idea! The CPU had no chance!

I get the feeling of a full game and not just a prototype for a gamejam. I appreciate you took the time to take care for the details. I think this has potential to be a good youtube playable once playables are officially realeased for everyone. Good work.

Very cool, the controls are tight and you have a lot of game feel on the characters. I wasnt too sure if I was supposed to break open the cat boxes. Sometimes shooting at them seemed to free a cat, other times it made no difference. Very good entry though.

Fun! And cool atmosphere. And I love cats! Well done!

Very fun and engaging shooter game. Feels good to play because of nice graphics and sound effects. Nice work 🙂
