I love the Cat! Cool Game!
That's one powerful cat! This game made me LOL. Good job.
Love the evil laugh =]
A true villain!
That's one powerful cat!
Pro: Lots of fun! I like the controls.
Con: Too short - i want more fun. Also took a while to find and click the first button i needed to push.
This is a really innovative, funny, quirky game! Exactly what I love about Ludum Dare!
Fantastic! Love the evil laugh from petting the cat game mechanic!
Loved the cat. Just sat there petting it for ages.
Nice :). I like the cat and interface.
A nice idea for the interface, but controlling it wasn't the most comfortable thing.
Nice!
Love the art and the fact that you're basically destroying the world through patting a cat, could use a bit more length though.
hey, I liked your game. It was short, but funny. Sound would have been nice, but I cant really say much as my game diddnt have music either. I would have liked more content though. For what it is, its well done, but I think that it might have been better suited as a fast paced mini game inside another game.
Thanks a lot for your comments, guys!
This game is really neat and has a good premise, but the controls are just unreliable.
At first I thought the sound was the cat purring lol.
pretty good overall, would have been more challenging if the satellites didn't have a constant orbit.
Muhahahahahaha...!
Love the cat!
Great game, I would have loved to see more of this, and maybe keyboard controls, but great anyway :D
That was awesome. The art is nice, and the cat was awesome!
Fantastic, charge that kitty up!
This was cool, especially loved the controls, very good! :D
Haha, great artwork. Love the dual-handed petting. The game itself is a bit too easy, though -- would've loved a bit of a challenge. Literal, but clever take on the theme.
Nice game. Good mood and all. But it was a bit short ;)
Very nice idea, but very short. Still a nice game to play if you don't have a lot of time.
The best use of the theme I've seen so far. So archetypicall :)
I also like how the mouse movement and hand movement worked together.
YES! I was waiting for something like this! I loved it!
I'm laughing because I played this with a cat in my lap. :3
Awesome looking game :) Needs to be longer and the big button bigger! Muahaha well done!
MAX HUMOR POINTS
My favorite game right now ! One of the coolest weypon i have ever seen ! + cool cat + cool controls ! great work !
OK, this is brilliant.
I really like the idea, kinda awkard to play press all the button with the mouse but otherwise it was a great take on the theme.
That's awesome. I especially liked how you handeld the input :)
It is REALLY hard to hit those buttons. I sat at the "press big button to start" screen for way too long trying to press it. I wish it would just do whatever I'm closest to when I click rather than needing to be directly over it. Cool idea, great audio, effective graphics.
"Press big button to continue" already made me go LOL.
MWHAHAHAHA!
Very funny idea. Love the cat and evil laugh :)
fun :3
Very fun, would be fun to do more!
Love it, innovative, well-executed and fun. Aces.
I can't seem to click the first button?
Cool. I get what you were going for here but I lack the patience for the control setup. Very nice aesthetic.
How creative. I loved petting the cat to charge the laser, and I liked how he used two hands to push buttons. Might have been nicer if the buttons for up and down were closer to the ones for left and right though.
I found the controls a bit obscure but I like the concept.
I realy liked the idea and it was realy fun to play! very nice entry
Very creative controls and cool implementation of the theme!
Damn, that was awesome! Love the control scheme - it felt very fluid. Sometimes I found it a little difficult to press the buttons, since the finger wasn't quite in the right place. Very easy to get the hang of. Loved it. :)
Nice game - good concept :)
Cool game! A bit easy though, but still fun
!!! Amazing!
Solid idea! Loved that you teach the player how to stroke the cat before starting. Wish you'd put the movement controls on WASD or arrows, then you just manage that and petting the cat and click to fire. Could be a lot of fun with some attack on you and shooting ground targets as well. Lot of fun potential. Really like the universal Bond villain vibe.
Pet, kill bitches, pet, kill bitches, pet, loved it.
Petting the cat while laughing evilly was a nice touch. Great mood and use of the theme!
Awesome controls, and very funny game. Made me wish earth was protected by more satelites :P
I found myself petting the cat before it told me to. :P
I really liked the way I was controlling two hands with one mouse. That worked far more intuitively than I though it possibly could. Nice graphics and sound too!
Wish my cats would charge up evil weapons of mass destruction... Fun game! A little too short though.
I loved the animation/interaction of the hands on the control panel
I loved it! The music at the end is perfect!
Hell yes! I loved this simple short game. Petting the cat is a great mechanic, and chasing the satellites down this way is a nice little challenge. Full points for mood and graphics!
Cute!
top tier theme and art. control scheme is so meta
hilarious
LOL. Minion is our alternate name for our cat Minnie :)
The controls feel like some sort of ill-conceived contraption out of an Austin Powers movie... so not fun it's funny, I guess?
A lot of fun, but the controls to move the aim, made it a little more tedious than I would have liked.
I think this is right now the game that made me feel the most villian in a classic way :) The game was too short, I just sat petting the cat during some time :P I think you have a really nice interface to develop a little managing game. The virtual interface (aka the hands) move really nicely with mouse movement. Sound and graphics really good. I liked the mix of fast interface like mouse, with a old game boy looking graphics (giving the palete of colours).
Wo.. gra.. 5star.. if you can saw the smile on my face, i have no word to say that's the best coolest feeling i got in a game.
I love the controls, super-cat!
Awesome idea. I love the cat, I love the stereotype of the evil genius. Incredibly well done!
I think it was actually a good thing the game had no music. Great graphics, really enjoyable even though it's short, and it's incredibly charming. Great job!
Muwahaha! Class game, cheers.
Great idea. Love the cat.
This brought back fond memories of Inspector Gadget. :D
The control scheme didn't work out too well for me (I used a mouse), but I have a feeling it would work much better on a tablet. Especially the cat cuddling ^_^
I liked the monochrome palette and the art. At first though I thought the cat was the guy's hair and we were viewing him from a topdown perspective.
really interesting controls, very cool concept.
Don't know how you could expand the game (maybe with different buttons mapping...).
Anyway, it's fun. Short for sure, but fun!
Love the cat, and the idea altogether.
Very cool concept and I enjoyed stroking the cat. But I found the controls a bit difficult.
Bit quirky controls, but the idea and execution was really good! Nice evil laugh and cat petting action. I expected it to be a bit longer though.
The game is perfect!
It's just hard to understand that the top of your finger must be exactly under a button to be able to press it.
A button won't be pressed if you're not correclty aligned, even if the Villain is playing the "pointing my finger" animation.
Fun idea, but far too short.
This is GREAT. Most I-Feel-Like-A-Villain game I've played yet.
Hey guys, thanks once again for all your comments.
Original idea was to add few mini-games in Villain OS menu, but it was my first LD and I had big problems with time management (especially on first day), so the game has turned very short and controls are not really perfect.
Don't know when exactly, but there definitely will be post-compo version with bunch of improvements.
That was short but cool :) good job
Fun!
Charging the weapon is caressing the cat is humor lol.
Good idea to play a villain this way :p
Muhahahahaha, Muhahahahahah, I love the idea, very unique entry.
It's good and the cat-pet-laughter-charge mechanism is cool. Wasn't sure if something was happen going to happen at some point to the earth or those satellites.
Brilliant idea, I wish the game was bigger :)
Brilliant! Awesome! Want more!
Very annoying controls.
A few issues with the controls, but a very nice idea! You can't have a villain without his/her cat. :D
I like the petting the cat aspect, but the controls for the weapon are impossible!
Five stars for theme! Not that fun to PLAY, but great concept and who cares anyway: you get to pat a cat and laugh!
Nice idea, good job!
The cat is really cool LOL XD i liked the game, it was kinda hard to control the aim but all of the enemies just came to the aim real soon so it was nice XD Good job!
Short and sweet. I love my fluffy little companion!
I love the idea of cat interaction. :)
Good sounds.
Great game! I loved petting the kitty :)
Petting cats is so evil.
The dashboard control is innovative, but hard to use...
Haha brilliant! The "web" link leads me to a download though, the alternative one gives me the online version.
Short and sweet but very nice concept!
Love the interface and the visual style. But definitely needs expanded gameplay.
Here's a tip, embed your swf file into a html page, then you can centre it and have it sit nicely on a dark background.
I love the concept! This is easily one of the most unique approaches to the theme I've seen so far. The controls are a little weird and it seemed too easy, but other than that, great work.
Clicking on buttons is hard but very immersive. :)
Short, with shallow gameplay but you really did set the mood! :D Good take on the theme! Nice job!
This was awesome! Win8!
What a strange game...
The cat and the evil laugh really makes us a villain.
Good job !
So funny :D
Great idea and well done, but a little bit too short
Really good !
Short, but nice. I like the way of pushing the buttons (if the hands of the played character follows the cursor).
Cool concept. Petting the cat was great. Actually taking out the enemy ships was a matter of just waiting for them to cross into the line of fire. A bit more challenge would be awesome.
I like that you need to pet the cat to laugh maniacally and charge your laser. Though, if the world is destroyed by the laser, wouldn't the villain be destroyed too? (and his cat)
Great inmersion! I spend a nice time, thanks :D
LOL - awesome. The ending is so perfect. The laugh, the note that plays... UGH. So good. Great innovation here.
Short game but excellent direction and idea.
Very hard to control this when using a touchpad, but I like the cat mechanic and the laughter energy :) good thinking!
P.S. Greetings from Omsk Ludum Dare! ;)
Excellent work. A little hard to hit the buttons, but loved the control scheme. At first I didn't realize I needed to hold the mouse down to pet the kitty, so I was just shaking my mouse over the top of him.
;D
Hahaha :) The cat stuff is brilliant ! And the controls very fun, even if i finished to center the target plot in the middle of earth and wait. A game that will turn you into Blofeld (the greatest villain of James Bond) :)
Controls were very tricky with a laptop touchpad. Art style and sounds were nice and consistent.
Muahahahaha
Really funny and great idea, but too short :)
My first all-five star rating for this LD. Love the controls, the sounds... I mean, come on, blasting a satellite then chuckling evilly while I pet my cat? Awesome!
This looks cool and plays cool. A weird little game. With some actually evil laughing this would have been perfect.
Reminded me of Enviro Bear 2000.
Cool game!
GREAT JOB SIR!
Reminds me Inspector Gadget ^^
And Enviro-Bear in the Gameplay
It deserves to become a full lenght game (even if it's WAY good enough for 48h)
Cute interface! I love the graphics work you did for this. I think keyboard controls could've helped, since I had to snipe the buttons a lot of the times. Great work! :)
So great, excellent take on the theme, if a little short.
Short, but cool. Really strange thing is that by petting your cat you also laug AND change the weapon! Just like a villain.
A pretty decent and amusing game.
good game, keep on the great work]
"Your doomsday weapon is powered by your evil laugh" DONE, theme, fun and humor 5 stars.
The hands following the mouse is neat if a little clunky at times, aiming at the satelite things is just tricky enough to give you something to do while you laugh at how funny the idea is.
Love the laugh, love the aesthetic, love the concept. The only problem I have with it is it's a little on the short side, but the experience was still awesome.
Nice work on the hands & console. I've thought about that sort of display/interface so it's inspiring to see it done.
This is utterly, ridiculously brilliant. The only thing I can say was less than fun was the positiioning of the buttons and the difficulty of controling the two hands. As a concept, it's really marvelous.
ld25 best game so far!! :D
Too bad it's so short. Lovely concept and wonderful polish.
Best use of cat-petting ever.
Loved the idea of petting the cat for empowering the weapon! The aiming controls are a bit unconfortable, but if you manage to get to a certain point, you can just recharge the weapon and fire.
Also, a cool touch would have been a "pressing" animation for the finger. Even a single frame one would have given it a nicer feeling.
MUHAHAHAHAHA. No seriously a good game. Made my day ;D
Haha, this is a cool idea. Too bad it's so short.
Loved it. Innovative (and great) visuals and badass player character :P
Very interesting idea and well executed. I found the controls a little difficult but got there in the end.
Very good! I loved the small touches like the cat, but the controls could have been smoother.
