How does your game fit the theme?
Each level begins with a fixed number of incoming cats. Every turn advances the wave and counts that number down toward zero as the player uses limited-use distractions to handle each visitor before one reaches the sleeping Count Catula. The title adds a second meaning: the Count himself is down for a nap.

lol always the last minute bug, I really hate them, literally always came out from no where xD

Developer

So real, a good lesson to leave more room for fixes at the end but even then they can almost sneak by xD

I really liked this! I'm not a big tower defense guy but I finished the game and won something, definitely had me hooked enough to see it through! All of the art was really cute, I'd love to see the extra polish the team puts in after the review period, nice work :)

A cute and fun idea! I gave up after the laser pointer but it was an enjoyable experience overall  :D
One thing I didn't like: the textboxes were almost unreadable for me

Charming art or pets at war. Reminded me of Plants vs Zombies of the good ol days

Thank you <3
PVZ was a huge inspiration for this game.

That's a fun game. It took a bit to understand the rules, but once I did, I enjoyed playing it.  The tooltip text is black on dark grey, so they're almost impossible to read. I especially like the quippy writing.

Thank you for playing our game <3
We had a tutorial screen and custom borders for the dialogue boxes but due to last minute bugs it never got into the game but the rerelease will have it ^^
