This is the best game.

Nice sounds too!

r4m0n 2012-08-27 13:17

Making the click place food AND be necessary to drag small creatures that are trying to run around creates some problems, but else than that, nice game :-)

sgehlich 2012-08-27 13:18

I like the audio, but didn't get any further than two kittens. Unfortunately, the kitten AI isn't pretty good, so it's hard to finish the game.

munchor 2012-08-27 13:18

Great entry :)

headchant 2012-08-27 13:20

The music is great!

hungyg 2012-08-27 13:21

Great game, spent quite some time playing it with my 7 year old sister. The only thing I didn't like was the walking animation, but it was okay. However I gotta say the music was awesome!

colapsydo 2012-08-27 13:27

It sounds like chocobos breading for me.
Nice mechanics for the kitten. A bit hard sometimes to click on small cats and loosing money in fish instead of earning it.

garygreen 2012-08-27 13:48

Really like this game. Nice touch with the "breeding" animation. :-)

turnip 2012-08-27 13:52

@sgehlich oh damn, did the kittens just refuse to eat the fish? The AI is kind of supposed to be a bit 'dumb' because kittens are kind of dumb. The challenge is to coerce them into eating the fish by dragging them towards it if they run away.

I know that the smallest kittens are hard to click, that was intentional to add a little bit of extra skill to the game. Placed fish never goes away so don't worry about wasting money on it.

Thanks for all the great comments guys :)

I really like it. Sooo sweet. One of the best game I watched today.

juaxix 2012-08-27 14:55

love kitties

littleball 2012-08-27 14:56

It's hard to grab the cats... just like real life. Well done

nidjo123 2012-08-27 15:01

Magnificient! Looks great, sounds great and feels great.

lucas-tiridath 2012-08-27 15:03

Excellent game and great fun to play. Very addictive. Well done :).

iandioch 2012-08-27 15:22

10 stars for theme, it fits both Evolution and 1000kittens :D
The soundtrack was ace.
The graphics were great, especially the picture of the kittie when you pick it up.
Really polished feeling. Well done!

someguy22 2012-08-27 15:36

Great job, loved the music and the character at the top was hilarious! :D

danlthemanl 2012-08-27 16:15

This game is very polished! I really that it's not over complicated and easy to get into, and addicting! Awesome job!

aaronflippo 2012-08-27 16:15

Brilliant! Wasn't sure if there was an endgame, worked my way up to the pink, then through another 4 rounds or so. Very cool mechanics!

datw 2012-08-27 16:20

Really polished game. You're gonna get straight fives out of some people that were on IRC.

gfm 2012-08-27 16:33

Wow, it`s pretty hard to make then breed the way you want...
Though it`s funnier to just let them breed madly, it`s harder to get the ones needed to advance...

Nice game! =D

aschearer 2012-08-27 16:39

Excellent game. The sounds and music are great. I feel like a real bad ass when I'm collecting those kittens :-) That said, I think the kittens are too small and it's quite hard to pick them up using a trackpad. I also agree with r4m0n that clicking is overloaded and I wound up spreading food all over by mistake. Fun little game, wonder how you could expand to make it even more interesting.

yetanother 2012-08-27 16:55

its fun. (and you have kittens)

timtipgames 2012-08-27 17:00

It has kittens! :) Great game, was a lot of fun to play!

orni 2012-08-27 17:53

great game
music is awesome!

well done :)

nate427 2012-08-27 18:02

I love it! I got 1,017$ before quitting.

thurig 2012-08-27 18:54

My son started to dance on the music. Does not get better then that. Nice game.

maxium 2012-08-27 19:54

Music was great, couldn't get enough blue kittens though :/

brucef 2012-08-27 20:52

the title screen makes me dizzy!!! fun game though! I like the concept here! nice job

gustavodort 2012-08-27 21:18

You really wanted the theme 1000 kittens, didn't you? XD

I loved the game!
The song kinda reminds me of Road Rash for Mega Drive and the graphics are really neat :)

Congratulations!

luizhgmonclar 2012-08-27 23:11

Holy crap, I loved this.
Like gustavo said, you really wanted that theme, right? :D Great system you created there... Reminded me of breeding chocobos in FF7 :}

pitzik4 2012-08-28 01:37

This is quite a fun and innovative game idea! For my 3rd order, though, the guy wanted green cats, and I kept breeding the cats but didn't get any green ones.

daydalus 2012-08-28 03:16

Nice concept here. Kitties were pretty tough to grab/feed - I guess like real kitties ;) Fun game though!

flyingbear 2012-08-28 05:19

I really liked this one! The music fits very well with the aesthetic. I would only suggest making everything a little bigger, as it was hard to click on the small kitties. Well done!

axcho 2012-08-28 07:11

Great music. I like the concept and the personality of the game. I found the colors hard to tell apart - maybe they could be more saturated. I also found it hard to know how to affect things in a useful way - there was no way to remove kitties that I didn't want...

turnip 2012-08-28 08:15

@axcho you can sell the kitties you don't want :)

agreed on the colours, i only kept them like that cos my girlfriend said she liked them :P

k1net1k 2012-08-28 11:16

Nice graphics, and great sound. But the game itself didn't really hook me

dustystylus 2012-08-28 13:06

Absolutely adorable, lovely sounds and music too. The click sensitivity between placing food and picking up kittens was a little frustrating, but on the whole it's really good fun!

amoaeba-junior 2012-08-28 18:35

Was hooked on it !

triplevisiongames 2012-08-28 20:29

Good sound on this one, found the cats annoying because they kept walking away from the food. But maybe that's what real cats do and maybe I'd find them annoying. Anyway, it was still fun!

travischen 2012-08-29 02:05

Best game I've played yet! Reminds me of insane aquarium. Love the sprite for when you pick up the kitties.

covebit 2012-08-29 05:37

Cool.

puzzlem00n 2012-08-29 17:16

This is pretty challenging! Good job! Definitely a great interpretation of the theme.

Also, I've gotten someone to help me turn my Mac build of Adaption into something that'll hopefully work on your system! Do you mind trying it again?

aarongordon 2012-08-29 20:10

Really fantastic entry, the best I've played so far (including all the jam entries). Simple mechanics but very addictive gameplay, made me laugh as well. Quite hard, i never got past the blue kitten stage, but that's alright. Only slight complaint is that the yellow and green kittens look very similar and it's hard to pick the small ones out.

Really top notch work!

adventureislands 2012-09-02 20:33

Nice game, my only real complaint is how hard it is to grab and sell the kittens especially because they are so tiny. Perhaps there should be shift-click to instant selling.

Anyway it was pretty well done game, nice job!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-09-03 21:14

Awwwwwww this is great. Lovely music.

amidos2006 2012-09-15 12:32

Nice hybrid between the theme of 1000 kittens and evolution :)

CorruptioN 2012-09-18 01:05

Great game, my only complaint (as seems to be the common theme here) is accidentally placing a fish instead of grabbing a cat.
