Oh this mad me giggle a bit but it was fun and had a great idea with it.
Win only? :( Possible to get a web or mac build?
Fun concept and good graphics but how the heck are you supposed to beat jetpack dogs? I couldn't quite jump high enough and they kept killing my cat.
I liked the graphics and the audio, the game was fun as well, though sometimes it was very difficult to stop dogs from both directions.
Really fun game, it's kinda hard to hit the jetpack dogs. Really nice graphics. I liked this game a lot.
How do I beat the jetpack dogs? Good game, but I keep getting beat by the jetpack dogs!
Fun little game with great art. @bentog: try jumping and then dashing up.
Haha really nice :)
Those running dogs when they hit the cat :)
Nice gameplay, but you should have the attack controls on the title screen :y (1st playthru I was panicking defenselessly)
Mad props for pumping out so much good pixelart/animation in such short time :^)
Hehehehe...is great! I try save the cat but the dogs are better... :P
Awesome art! I loved the arcade style of gameplay. If anything it was a bit quiet but concidering the art and gameplay, i dont care =)
Nice graphics and fun gameplay!
The back of that main character's head is really well rendered. Fun game, awesome artwork!
good graphics but difficult game
I love the art in this game.
Expand it please! It look so well, and I love the story too!
Damn, just by looking at the screenshot, I am upset that there is no Mac OS X build : [
Lol! Great idea!
Very nice graphics! Love it
@bfft:
Updated with Mac port!
Poor kitty :(
Nice game I love the graphics, but I think that the attack must be assigned to a different button instead.
It will be an awesome mobile game :D
Starts up with a black screen. Any way you could give me a version with a full-screen toggle? If this was made in GM then it's probably the same issue I've had with other GM games. Starting in full-screen doesn't work for me for some odd reason.
NEVERMIND! Got it to work. Had to update some drivers.
The art is great but the double tap control scheme creates a weird issue. It would be much more intuitive and seamless if you could just hold in a direction and press an 'attack' button. That way I could jump to the right, up+attack to kill a jetdog, then left+attack twice to zip to the left side of the screen and kill the other jetdog, drop down the right+attack twice to kill the dog on the left and the right. The way it is now, you lose vertical positioning when you have to double tap, so your dash attacks from one side to the other don't always line up and in a game where every second counts, you miss the target.
I'd love to see the controls refined because the game has the potential to be really quick, challenging, and exciting... and your pixel art is friggin' awesome!
Good entry!
Kitty D:
Quick and simple, good job!
i really dig the art. the sound was ear piercing. i thought the flying enemies could have spawned a tile lower so you don't have to jump and hit them. some other commentors were having issues with the double tap attack, but i think the underlying issue is where they spawned that made them frustrating to kill. not bad overall. keep it up!
Nice animations, but the avatar for me looks like he has no arms. The dash should be easier to use.
Graphics are great, but it's hard to survive
Collision seemed kinda hit or miss--sometimes I'd hit the jetpack dogs, sometimes I'd pass through them. Movement also felt too slow when running.
It seemed a little odd that the scientist is better suited to dog-wrasslin' than, say, better enclosing the cat-room. I'd like to see the ability to place and repair defenses and distractions like walls, turrets, squeaky toys, mailmen, pathogens, etc.
Very stylish art, though.
(for me the OS/X version just said "this is damaged and should be moved to trash" on Mavericks)
Needs an in-game control description, but good fun! Awesome pixels.
This was a fun play. It was hard to deal with a lot of dogs at once though. Maybe some kind of power up would have been cool.
Really amazing graphics. Controls are also quite solid, but I feel like there was supposed to be a double jump feature? I can't figure out how to stop the jetpack dogs.
I like graphics very much! ;)
Good gameplay too!
I couldn't really tell what was going on and the controls were a bit difficult to get a hold on
Very nice pixel art.
Thanks for the Mac port! Run animations of the professor are super nice (The jetpack dogs, too - of course :D )
Solid and funny entry. Is it possible to rescue the kitty after a certain amount of waves anyway?
