Nice style. The game itself got boring fast though. I really liked the grenades (and the hand throwing it), nicely made.

rhysvdw 2012-08-27 11:47

Cool, that was fun. I couldn't change weapon on account of not having a mouse wheel on my laptop though.

ptsnoop 2012-08-27 11:47

Aaaaaaah! Kittens!

dedhedzed 2012-08-27 11:50

Wow. I am absolutely awful at it, but I give you bonus points for letting me massacre kittens, after all the bloody talk of them because of that damned joke theme...

andrew-2 2012-08-27 11:50

@rhysvdw ah sorry about that, will be fixed in a post compo build

michax 2012-08-27 11:51

Had fun with it and i like pixel art and animation.

andrew-2 2012-08-27 11:52

@Zed I know exactly what you mean. The secret is using the landscape to your advantage.

mariscal 2012-08-27 11:53

I liked the art and the weapons! good work!

pereubu 2012-08-27 14:10

slaughtering kitten is priceless, thanks dude D:

Sorry, running linux. Go Unity 4.0!

andrew-2 2012-08-27 20:30

@josefnpat sorry :( I know that feel, this is the first LD I code on windows. I'll upload the standalone, maybe it works under wine.

wyatt-white 2012-08-28 05:03

Interesting idea, but some controll issues kinda ruined it for me. Polish those and this could be a great game

krides 2012-08-28 16:17

I can't say I understood much of it, but it was really fun in a weird unreasonable sort of way :'D

andrew-2 2012-08-28 16:48

@Sergey Mohov I'll probably quote you on that.

dustystylus 2012-08-28 19:38

teh kittehs! I could hear them and then it was too late. D: I won't sleep tonight... (I love the sounds in this btw)

savethejets1 2012-08-28 23:22

I knew it was gonna be good when I saw, "WARNING: Contains raptors, sharks, turtles and kittens."

accidentalrebel 2012-08-30 05:07

Kinda hard to target the kittens as I wanted to headshot them Haha.

andrew-2 2012-08-30 18:56

@Accidental Rebel that shouldn't be too hard, half their bodies are the head :)

tcstyle 2012-08-31 20:54

That's pretty tough. I like the soundtrack. 1000 kittens were killing me every time after falling down the tower.

angrygeometry 2012-09-01 00:06

andrew i love your games and this one is especially good

goffmog 2012-09-01 12:03

Wow, what a hard game - found it kind of random whether I managed to kill a kitten or not when I shot it, and more accurate at long distances for some reason. Understandable decision to go with billboards for the monsters, that's something I'll have to consider for my next LD instead of making them out of primitives as making one 3D model takes me closer to 48 days than 48 hours ;) Oh to be an artist.

Syarahsy 2012-09-01 18:57

I love your whole menagerie. I was definitely looking to see what the next creature would be. The music is really good.

jedi 2012-09-02 11:46

WHO GAVE THOSE KITTENS CANNONS!? >:(
Great job, but I can't survive more than a minute! :)

matthias_zarzecki 2012-09-03 21:35

Murderous kittens, indeed.

Love the low-fi graphics. Gameplay could use a bit tightening though.

mohammad 2012-09-03 21:38

great!
cant stop playing!
keep it up!

marudziik 2012-09-03 23:39

I wasn't sure what to do, besides killing kittens, that is. 10 mins is quite a long time and it's extremely difficult to survive that long. Music got a little boring after a while, but it also kinda fits. The game could use some gameplay reworking. Other than that, graphics are actually quite good. Nice entry!

yakka 2012-09-04 09:47

Very strange game. I'm not a big FPS fan sorry. But I like your idea to make the gun pointer as a light.

rmatey 2012-09-04 13:37

Finished the game with 855, really like the mood and those cats are pretty terrifying even more than the sharks. How did you do the flash light effect?

andrew-2 2012-09-04 13:58

@marudziik it's not so hard once you figure out the trick to it. The various creatures aren't that smart

@Richard Matey it's just a spotlight object

hamster_mk_4 2012-09-12 06:16

The shotgun kittens and torpedo sharks were interesting, but I rarely got to see the side of these monsters. Some random movement would have improved this game significantly. The monsters would not get stuck for ever, and we would get to see the monster from more angles. Also if you don't want to spend too much time lighting a scene, the directional light is your fiend.

andrew-2 2012-09-12 10:31

@hamster_mk_4 the sharks especially are not meant to be fought head on and you can generally circle around them, one thing you can do for kittens is jump over them as they charge at you, then see them circle around. Not entirely advisable though.
