Love this game! The kitty cuteness is great. Fun to play

This game was really fun to play. Good job man!

Fun game! I wish laser pointer would fade out away from the cat to remind me that it can't see it. The pesky squirrels were fast. Good job.

Using kittens is always cheating. Even as an unconventional weapon :o)

Great game it's fun to lay the kitty killer ^^

ultrarat 2015-04-21 07:23

haha... So Cute, kittens only hunt for sport, they do not eat the animals they kill and still need cat food.

Surprisingly interesting. good variance of mechanics and difficulty ramp

Great theme usage. It is difficult to figure out how to hit spiders, though. I basically click-spammed until the kitten hit it, which felt unsatisfying. I now am furious at squirrels, though, for hurting poor kittens with their nut bombs.

Nice graphics. Fun gameplay.

I enjoyed this, good job!

Solid gameplay, and a pretty unique concept! I loved the art and music, good choices there. I'd love to see more of this!

Definitely one of the better games I've played. Great job!

Surprisingly fun game. During the first few levels, I was thinking to myself "this would be awesome with more kittens", then next thing I know I'm controlling three.

One thing that I felt it needed was being able to "laser focus" some enemies with the laser. In many situations, I'd have a spider or rat eating the food, I'd lead my kittens there, then they'd go chase a squirrel or something. Cats, man.

Interesting idea! :)

Really nice polished complete game. I like the music and the sounds and the ability to turn off the blood is a nice option.

yazara 2015-04-21 19:54

Aw the kitten getting hit is sad :(
Overall a really nice game, well done! I especially like the animations.

iapc 2015-04-21 20:09

verry enjoyable game. just straight up amazingly fun.

oniiram 2015-04-21 21:27

Cool! this is very cute and relaxing to play, I loved it

cheshyr 2015-04-22 12:35

Very cute. Nice models, animations, and sound effects. Great submission.

springcabal 2015-04-22 15:43

Well made, fun to play.

ekkiiiii 2015-04-22 21:43

Very cute game. Love the smooth and cute movements!

drauthius 2015-04-22 22:16

Good game! Those pesky raccoons are making things hard. The cats are pretty self-sustained also - we just think we're influencing them, but they just do what they want, just like in real life!

dray 2015-04-22 22:47

Really cool game, well polished, with great art and music. the tower defense gameplay with a great twist is a nice idea. good job

ianburnette 2015-04-23 03:13

Noooo! Out of food! This was really fun, and an EXCELLENT use of the theme. We're not firing kittens out of rocket launchers or anything, we're using them in a way that is logically conceivable (if not all that probably). Really great.

blobo 2015-04-23 23:35

The anamations are amazing, and i loved watching the cats beat up squirrels. nice work!

plustech 2015-04-25 00:55

Movable tower defense!
Loved the theme and execution, great entry mate! Impressive!

scornz 2015-04-25 01:01

So much fun! All fives from me :D

monkeedude1212 2015-04-25 01:25

Pretty good game. Perhaps a little violent, but that's cats for you. Good level design/progression. My only qualm was sometimes when two kittens were close together they were a bit hard to separate. But everything from graphics to audio and controls were good.

dcrfj15 2015-04-25 01:31

Fun to play, challenging but it became that way because of harder enemies rather than just more of them, which is good. I really liked how each round had a different ideal strategy, so the player was forced to adapt. Good job.

uvwar 2015-04-25 02:05

Pretty fun! I did begin to feel like the laser pointer didn't really have much to do with the game, but was just an annoying way to control the cat because there was a distance limit on it. Sometimes my cat would run in the opposite direction from my pointer which was strange/frustrating.

androniq 2015-04-25 17:32

Really cute! :)

heffjoker 2015-04-25 22:55

One of best all around entries I've seen so far! The amount of polish and attention to detail is fantastic!

However, I think the kittens are slightly overpowered at times. There were times where I was just sitting, watching the kittens kill things rather than wrangling them with the laser pointer. Maybe they need to be slightly dumber?

Nonetheless, great job!!

foxarya 2015-04-26 12:17

You should have opted for the graphics category! I like the game, I think a cat would see and follow a laser from farther, it needs to be too close.

karsten 2015-04-27 19:18

nice, very much done in such a short time.i made it to wave 4 when things start to get mad hard xD

leandrus 2015-05-06 19:52

I love it. Really good.
I love when the nut blows up and the little cat meows :)
Thanks for sharing.

p4nurge 2015-05-09 15:08

Kittens are such badasses! This was a lot of fun to play.

drprettypatty 2015-05-09 15:23

Perfect. This is perfect! Super cute graphics and idea, nice satisfying sounds, great level progression and teaching the player, and I didn't see any bugs (aside from the spiders :P). The only thing I can even think of to criticize is the default UI button sprite (I think it looks better if you just use a 16x16 blank square sprite for a minimal look rather than the stretched Unity UI sprites), but obviously that's a really minor thing. Awesome work, 5 to the 6th power from me :)

Super game! Great idea, great realisation.
