Having some odd problems attacking the red ships, the game doesn't seem to detect hits properly.

lapogo: Thanks for the feedback! I should explain that the bullets will always explode at the area to which you are aiming when you fire, even if the bullet meets an enemy ship along the way. Also the red ships don't burst into particles when they die like the rocks do, so that might be causing some confusion? It is very possible that the collision detection between explosions and ships isn't 100% accurate but I didn't notice during testing. I'll investigate this for future versions.

Thanks,
j0n.

Harder than it looks, but fun. The kittens were a neat addition :) Got a little laggy with a lot on screen, but doesn't detract from the gameplay too much.

Cool thanks Sodaware!

Great Game, music was awesome really fit into the "this is their last stand" feel of the game

miharbi: Cheers! :D

The collision with the planet seems to be with a bounding box, so near misses graphically can actually be hits on the planet?

Also, the hit box of the objects you shoot at is too centered in them; its possible to graphically seem to be hitting but be missing if you're off-center?

Awesome cats :D

Pretty cool.

The moody piano theme made the whole thing a lot more heroic somehow. Had some issues with lag as the kittens multiplied.

Holy crap. My entry also features missiles and kitties in outer space. You get 5 stars on everything. http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=12960

This was a fun little game. I love the addition of the kittens to what would otherwise be a bit too minimalistic. Good work!

Collision detection seemed a little off sometimes... otherwise good game.

It would be nice if there was more progression or if the win condition was more telegraphed.

Bullets only exploding at the area where you aim is a little wonky imo. I also had nearly voted before I read the comment (Thinking the hit testing just failed). Otherwise, not bad.

The music was creepy, adding a lot of mood to your game. The missile command shooting style reminded me my old Atari 5200. :D

Some weird hitbox issues, but fun!

I wish gameplay were longer...I unleashed the cat swarm... 2659 point total...
