It reminds me of sumo wrestling mixed with Megaman Battle Network mixed with some elements of bomberman. And cats.

Controls are wrong: should say arrow keys rather than WASD. Confused me for a while :P
Jezz0r: upsss I really was half slept when I wrote that :P. Thanks for the heads up.
This is great. It doesn't have any real issues, and it's both difficult, and easy to catch on to. The enemy graphics, as you said, need some work, but it's still a solid game. It's very fun, and I'll probably be playing it even after LD.
fast movements. I died a lot to learn. lol gj.
i like it.
I agree, cats *are* monsters :) Tricky to play as I kept somehow exiting the arena or getting hit by projectiles drawn in the wrong square, but I like the concept. Thanks for the game!
I'm no monster! I'm just a cat who wants to be alone.
I really liked this entry!
I wish the cat wouldn't "go" beyond the game field though, it's already hard enough to stay alive with the enemies, lol.
For some reason the flash version was drawing things out of place (like some projectiles and the explosion animation). This didn't happen in the PC build.
A really enjoyable entry and I hope you keep working on it after the compo!
Fun, the game was a bit hard. I would suggest having a timer to show when enemies will move, and have the size of the arena increased or the speed of the game decreased.
I wasn't sure why the bomb was knocking me out of the arena, but the comments seem to indicate that things were being drawn in the wrong place.
I wasn't clear why I would do anything other than bat the enemies.
The web link seems a little broken? At least for me, it was a download link instead. You might need to move the file into a public dropbox folder, in which case it should open in the browser window.
Regarding the game:
You really need to include some sounds! Basic sound effects make a big difference. Try using something like sxfr, you can create good little ones without much effort. Otherwise the game felt a little empty to me. If you can make any music, that helps a lot too.
Not a bad concept that I think could be quite fun when fleshed out a bit. I'd even experiment with making it turn based and more of a puzzle, given the distinct enemy interactions you have. Nice ideas.
Took a little while to get the hang of it - I think I was expecting something more like bomber man, so that's probably my fault!
It felt a bit like it should be a turn based game.
Graphics are nice and colourful, which I liked.
Cute kitty and boooombs! :D
