Great to see another Construct 2 game on here! =] There's a Ludum Dare thread on the Scirra forums you can throw this in as well if you haven't yet!

Solid foundation!

adventureislands 2013-08-26 19:20

Solid entry all around! Nice job!

It was very easy to miss the cash items when cats are coming from left though, perhaps the cash could fly forward a bit?

erkberg 2013-08-26 20:31

Thanks for the feedback! That's a good idea, it should solve that problem.

Man, those cat sound effects made this game so much better. I was irritated with how slowly the panda shot, but the upgrade system really helped out a lot. Really enjoyable game.

Excellent. 5 stars for Audio.

mpath 2013-08-26 23:09

MEOW!

dungeonsoffear 2013-08-26 23:21

Good work!

fdevant 2013-08-26 23:22

:( I like cats.

paulsinnett 2013-08-26 23:27

Nice. The shooting seemed remarkably accurate. The inertia on the panda made it difficult to control though.

empireindustries 2013-08-26 23:28

I made it to the last level but couldn't beat the boss with the maxed out panda. I was actually pretty disappointed. But good game, anyways.

tigerj 2013-08-26 23:34

This game was really hard at first. I really wish I didn't spend all my bamboo on multi shot because I was hoping it would fire at an angle instead of 2 bullets in the same direction.

I had fun playing this please keep up the great work

erkberg 2013-08-26 23:45

Thanks for all your feedback! The meow-sound is my voice recorded and I thought it would really annoy people. ^^
And I like cats too, but it's really about time someone stops their dominance.
I will probably get rid of the inertia in a future version, it really is pretty unnecessary.
The boss is supposed to be hard as hell, but beating it only gives you the title of "Pandaren Brewmaster", which might be just as disappointing to some as not beating it at all.
Multishot does fire multiple projectiles at an angle from level 3 on.

More than 60 pounds of droppings within 24 hours. I keep playing for the fun facts.

You have convinced me that games ARE art.

tigerj 2013-08-27 16:41

I'm kinda addicted to this game.

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 21:41

Sweet game. I can see you really put some effort in it with the shop mechanic etc. Also loved the panda facts! :)

zatyka 2013-08-27 22:17

Ridiculous... but I enjoyed it quite a bit. It had me hooked for a lot longer than I would have guessed. The game could definitely use polish, but you have a really nice, enjoyable prototype here. Very nice job.

seconddimension 2013-08-27 23:13

Oh no. The poor kitties! I played for a while, it's cool you had an upgrade system in there. Loved the random facts

blue-steel 2013-08-28 12:12

I can't play this i only have one arm .. can't use keyboard and mouse at the same time..

jimanzium 2013-08-28 12:13

Quite nice, I liked the random panda/cat facts

customphase 2013-08-28 13:04

Hah, nice fun game. Reminds me of Rogue legacy a bit. Though i had some confusion with hourglass, i thought its just an icon telling me that i run out of time, and not a pickup :)

tokw 2013-08-28 13:15

Great game very well done and top job on the upgrade system
idk if its just me though i couldn't get most of the bamboo on the left also took a while to realise that was the currency a symbol might help

lazyeels 2013-08-28 13:26

Good work, big cat fan though, so cringed every time I put a cap in one. I like the extra touches like the shop and check points, as well as the interesting facts sprinkled here and there. Awesome job for 48 hours!

erkberg 2013-08-28 14:06

Thanks again to everyone who played and commented. It really makes me happy to read about you enjoying the game.
I will make the bamboo fly out a little from a corpse in a future version, it should be easier to collect then. Also, the symbol is highly temporary.

arcturusdeluxe 2013-08-28 16:08

The basic foundation is fun. I like the upgrade system. Could do with some more polish in the presentation. I feel bad shooting cats though :(

onzephyr 2013-08-29 02:08

nicely made. played well and I kept tying just to see more random facts.

ratalaika 2013-08-29 18:45

good job

canvapps 2013-08-29 23:24

hahahahaha pandas with guns! nice idea xD
I definitively love simple games that challenge the player, and this is one of those.
Nice work!

almax27 2013-08-31 00:13

I'm a panda with a gun killing cats...everything is alright :D

toadfrogs 2013-09-01 03:52

That was cute and addicting xD ... Poor kitties though, they still MEOW~

xrm0 2013-09-05 13:17

In the intro, you can move the panda and the body will move, but the arm holding the gun stays fixed in the initial position

alexfili 2013-09-05 17:45

The game looks quite simple but actually has a lot of complexity buried within. The different upgrades offer the player different ways of building up their character and the enemies are quite varied in terms of AI and attacks.

I love the random facts and the 'ow' noise that the enemies make when they are shot. Definitely one of my favourite Ludum Dare games. Brilliant job!

motty 2013-09-14 06:12

Much more fun than I was expecting after my first ten deaths. Nice one :)

urfoex 2013-09-15 08:40

Poor cats...
