YAY! Once I got a reasonably stable mutation I was able to leave them to complete the rest of the game by themselves. Very high jumping helps for 'The Pits'.

this game is hilarious

_am_ 2012-08-27 01:19

Very interesting... great job.

Nice approach to the theme.
A bit hard to understand at first, but once you figure it out, it gets really interesting.

vordux 2012-08-27 13:52

Really funny game, the voice acting helped exemplify the humor and fun.

ditto 2012-08-27 15:09

I have no idea what I am doing, and still I managed to get to the third level, xD

Had so much fun with this and was a bit sad when I won!! Are you working on this post compo? I'd like to play more levels :D

surreal_whale 2012-08-27 21:52

I love this game! Definitely the best use of the theme I've seen so far. I'd like to know how the genetic trait changes are controlled when you click on a cat, but it would be too easy if it wasn't vague.

norgg 2012-08-27 23:05

@tripleVisionGames Haha, I am sorry it's so short. I will probably do some more work on this at some point, though I have other projects I really need to finish off first, may work this game in as a sequel-y thing to the game I've been working on for a while.

djcsdy 2012-08-28 01:35

This is absolutely awesome :).

Very interesting, took a minute for me to get it, but once I did, I enjoyed it :)

galman 2012-08-29 13:52

Really intersting idea.. You can make a really great game from it :-)

One of my cats is defying gravity...I'm pretty sure that's not a gene. XD Haha. This is pretty funny and innovative. A little hard to control though, I just feel like I'm doing random stuff when modifying their genes.

ragzouken 2012-08-29 15:40

All my kittens were spastic - good trait for winning :P

abpositive03 2012-08-30 00:43

I don't even... all I know is sometimes I get longer cats, sometimes they're green, but more often than not they explode. I don't think I'm very good at this :D

thewiseguy99 2012-08-30 01:09

Funny game, loved the sound effects! And the exploding kittens were funny too!!! My cats were pretty mutated but I enjoyed it anyways. Good job.

smirnov48 2012-08-30 09:42

Funny game. In beginning I killed all kittens, but after few minutes I understood how to stay they alive. You need more kittens in new generation. More kittens, more fun :)

norgg 2012-08-30 10:14

@AMSmirnov The number of kittens in the next generation depends on how many you rescued in the generation before, they mate in pairs. It's a bit randomised, but I think the theoretical max population by the end is currently 32, I capped it at 10 for the Ludum Dare version, but uncapped for the Kongregate version.

tupperwarespoon 2012-08-30 11:16

Really different idea, The kits seem to spend most of their time upside down though. Was a little confusing to see what I was evolving to sometimes.
Overall well executed idea though

norgg 2012-08-30 15:59

@tupperwarespoon If your kittens are upside down you have probably damaged the balance gene.

dengzo 2012-08-30 18:25

one of the best games I have played this Ludum Dare! good job!

nseward 2012-08-30 19:18

I loved it. I wanted more levels and I wanted an easier way to narrow in on the trait I wanted to mutate. Thanks for a good time.

krides 2012-08-31 00:51

Very nice. I have found that square kittens with 1 limb survive the best. Now let's apply that to real life.

*here, kitty kitty kitty*

amodo 2012-09-01 13:32

The best application of the theme so far. Despite solving it, I didn't really understand how to manipulate the genes, so i just moved the mouse around :P Great work!

murrayl 2012-09-01 13:47

Hilarious audio and premise. I never did quite work out what I was doing, though...

covebit 2012-09-01 13:56

Awesome!

quentinmonek 2012-09-01 14:07

Really, REALLY awesome game. Played it a few times, made an awesome colony of cats.
The only "bug" was on the level with the pit, the cat's head kept getting stuck in what I assume is a "block" of the level when he tried to jump and couldn't get out. I was forced to kill him. :(

mes 2012-09-02 15:53

nice! amazing concept and execution.

maple 2012-09-03 02:36

"Yaa--"
"You killed them"

Lol, not a bad entry. Kept me entertained right through.

savethejets1 2012-09-09 18:17

Lol, cool stuff. I particularly enjoy the gibs when you try evolving a cat for too long.

vigrid 2012-09-10 16:43

Great stuff - excellent take on the theme. If you could make the graphics "cute", that would make an awesome game!

goerp 2012-09-15 11:22

One of the winners for me, because it used the them so well. It took some time to figure out how to change the genes and I don't know yet what every gene does, but it was fun to watch and once I got it, I could make some useful mutations. The soundeffects were funny. This game I will look at the source, because I'm interested in using an physics engine with Flash as well (I think your using a physic engine).
