I like it, but it's a tiiny bit difficult! Even the first level, at least for me.
Adorable game, though. Nice work!

Funny and lovely game!
I like when anyone invest time doing a quantity of levels.
I missed all audio but good job!

See, people, this, THIS is well-made FUN! It's funny, it's cute, it's very well-animated, the idea is cool and the execution is on point. If I had to complain about something, perhaps moving the cursor to the edge of the screen should move the camera as well as the direction keys. Bravo, creator, nice work!

PS. It reminded me of an old Flash game, Cat-A-Pult, is that why you used the "O" instead of "A" in the middle? Very different tone to this, though.

At the beginning I thought this was just a rip-off of a very popular game... And I was completely wrong ! The concept is amazing, animations are cool, very well done :)

I love this game! The idea and theme are really cool. There a re a couple of minor problems that I encountered:
1. If you fire a cat into the front wall, it takes ages for it to walk back until you can shoot again.
2. I managed to glitch a cat into the floor, by shooting it up really high. That can even let the cat slip though the floor completely, soft-locking the game.
3. On level 5 time a cat climed through a wood ceiling. Not sure if that is a bug or intended though. Used it in level 10 also.
4. On the level after that, a cat landed on a stone pillar, but slid down right through it. This is very much reproducible :(

Completed all levels except level 8, where I finally gave up :/

A very polished game, a lot of fun, nice levels with a steep difficulty curve. Also, amazing graphics. Best thing is the game mechanic with the cats, which I really liked :)

@wheerd: Thanks for detailed reply. I'll try to fix all these pesky bugs.

Cute animations and fun gameplay. Sometimes the arrow wouldn't follow the mouse though or disappear, which was a bit annoying (I'm on a Mac). Some sounds would have been nice too. Other than that a polished game, good job.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.

Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

I love cats, I love this game. :D
I really like the mechanic that the cats walk and seek their targets. It would be nice if the cats would have more colors than black.

Impressive polish for a short period of time! I had fun - played about five levels.

Somehow, I managed to launch a cat in such a way that it walked directly off screen into the sky. This softlocked the game. Maybe implement a check if the cat is still within boundaries of the window?

Overall, nice work!

Thank you for sharing amazing fun game. Give more levels, some audio and music, and the game will be very near perfekt. Well done.

Amazing stuff. It looks great, and the animation on the cats is spot on. I also really like the twist having the cats move adds to the traditional gameplay. Fantastic job!

Beat it! I just wish the cats didn't take so long to walk off sometimes. I liked how the cats would walk to the dwarves though. good job!

I like that it has a different mechanic from the typical angry birds style game. Gauging power and distance is a bit tough. I would of liked some music or sound effects.

Ohh!! What a surprise!! :) The art and animations are very cool! This game need some "caty" soundfx. Well done!
Cool you have made it with godot engine!
