Controls are really cool :)

I felt bad when I lazered a cat. But using the laser on other stuff was pretty awesome.

Hahaha love the sounds! :) Well done!

Congrats over this game, one of the two best games I've played on LD29! Greath depth, great theme, awsome controls, your game has it all my friend ;)

I got to "City of Gold" and there weren't any more stairs...
Pretty cool over all. Exciting when the scrolling kicked in, I didn't expect that. The cats were a good idea but they were so easy to kill - maybe not the best execution.

@7heSAMA -- sorry, sometimes the stairs spawn in a space you can't get to. Rare, but I wasn't able to fix it in time. The cats are supposed to be delicate, the challenge is in protecting them :)

Sounds are super cute and the gameplay is really cool, very creative! I feel like I should have seen controls like this in another game before, but I can't think of one!

really really great! the gameplay and graphics are elegantly simple

tyruspeace 2014-04-29 05:17

There's a lot of gameplay here for what are ostensibly very simple controls; I like how much trying to not-shoot the cats adds to it, and you did a good job of conveying the feeling of going ever deeper, and being increasingly in danger.

It is too easy to laser things you don't mean to, but otherwise a very good effort.

mir007 2014-04-29 08:48

I think I just shot a kitten... Oh noez.

zatyka 2014-04-29 23:18

Really nice. Remarkably complete.

whitevoidia 2014-04-30 01:13

Very very silly and very very fun
Rest in piece all the cat-miners that I accidentally lazored ;_;

phyyl 2014-04-30 01:15

you made me kill a cat. and then die from burnification. but this game is awesome! 5/5 for innovation and theme!

katamori 2014-04-30 01:26

Great game, with great atmosphere!

kuchalu 2014-04-30 02:31

Really nice art style. Fun to play too!

john_conder9 2014-04-30 02:36

"There better not be grues" haha that is fantastic. Having said that: worst game ever - WHO LETS ME KILL ADORABLE CATS ON ACCIDENT? That is WICKED and MESSED UP. :( I'm sorry I swear I didn't mean it kittens, I swear it wasn't my fault :(

Besides the obvious cruelty of the game, it was really well put together - I got burninated the first play through at around 3000 and decided to try again, this time cheating (because it's okay to cheat against anyone who makes you kill kittens.) I... got burninated again like 30 seconds in >< The gameplay is great, moving and shooting feels smooth (although too smooth, poor kittens) - and it's overall pretty good. Great entry with great humor!

stencyltuo 2014-04-30 02:37

Definitely one of the better entries I've seen. It was definitely a harder option. I would have preferred different controls for moving vs. attacking... so often I either killed cats myself or stepped on a monster instead of shooting it. Still, it's very well done, especially for 72 hours.

syner_d 2014-04-30 02:42

Nice job! The gameplay is very funny!

badgerpriest 2014-04-30 10:10

Yeah, I was definitely the leading cause of death for these kitties.

pancakecity 2014-04-30 18:18

Really neat rogue-like. Very fun to play! I kept shooting cats, ahhhhh

ehtd 2014-05-01 07:41

Nice game :)

hybridmind 2014-05-04 23:45

The poor kitties died so easily. I am scarred from killing the first kitty that appeared because I thought it was an enemy. Now I can't sleep at night. The dreams haunt my slumber in the space mines.

davidwparker 2014-05-07 15:43

I dig it. Good use of theme, controls were good, graphics and sound. Liked it all overall.

dreii 2014-05-08 04:28

Haha I love the sounds, I killed a kitty by accident though :(
fun game!

draklaw 2014-05-09 01:20

perhaps left click could only fire on hostil or neutral tiles, not auto fire on kitties. Very fun also.

loxo 2014-05-15 19:01

Great game with lots of details, nice graphics, audio and atmosphere. The game fits the theme well and is fun to play.

udo 2014-05-16 09:57

Love it! You made the kind of game I wish I could have made...

klianc09 2014-05-17 12:33

Really fun, but also traumatizing.

NO KITTY, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DIE?! :(

thaaks 2014-05-17 13:17

I like this game a lot. The laser sound is a bit annoying but everything else is well done.
The controls, the graphics, enemies - all fit nicely.
Great idea for the given theme.

jesse0michael 2014-05-18 04:17

Wow! Had a lot of fun! :)

jsmars 2014-05-18 07:55

Really nice job, I accidentally killed a kitten! :D

depp 2014-05-18 08:02

Fun, and challenging! The level generator is a bit buggy, so things spawn in walls. It's scary when you go down a level and hear the kitties dying.
