Funny choice to go with the theme :)

pragmascript 2017-12-05 15:44

It's okay to carry cats on your head :) nice one

2017-12-06 02:03

This is the first game I gave all 5s AMAZING work

mollekake 2017-12-06 11:43

@jackson1 Thank you!

bobgar 2017-12-06 12:21

I liked the use of the theme and the graphics! It took me a little while to understand how killing the cats worked, and for some reason after the intro I imagined that I could stack lots of them on my head in a giant tower of cats, but once I did the game was pretty straight forward -- simple but fun. Good job!

I like a lot the funny cat-killer concept, and I love pixel art well done. For the cons, the ludum premise is a bit weak here, and collision with walls is also a bit tricky. Overall is a nice game, congrats!

mollekake 2017-12-06 12:29

Thank you! @bobgar That part i kinda forgot to explain anywhere, oops.

@fernandxor Thans for the feedback! I actually kinda broke the game myself. I forgot to disable the amount of cats. They are actually suppose to keep spawning every 5 seconds.

It was fun, the music is great, however I would have liked if you made your own engine(Made in GameMaker Studio). I like the theme overall, however I miss replayability. Also, I didn't see the places that killed cats at first, an indication would have helped. I liked the game overall.

bastienre4 2017-12-06 12:32

Great game ! I love the graphics ! Finding all the place where you can kill the cat is fun (this phrase sure does seem wierd)

amigopadilha 2017-12-06 16:55

Great game! Liked the idea =) Good job!

wujood 2017-12-06 17:10

Nice pixelart! Well made game! :) Only problem for me was walking without colliding with stuff, but maybe thats just me

mollekake 2017-12-06 17:13

@wujood Thank you! By colliding with stuff, do you mean the cats? Because that's intentional. The controls aren't fine tuned so i can see what you mean if you move a bit wonky.

wuceng 2017-12-06 17:28

Very interesting idea. Perfect for having fun for 2 minutes. The collision could need a little work tho. feels like the cats hitbox is way too big. The music is great and art is also very fitting.

mollekake 2017-12-06 17:33

@wuceng Thank you for the feedback!

ramza 2017-12-06 17:39

That was awesome!

sunnray 2017-12-06 17:54

This is great! I got 6 cats the first time and 11 - the second.

mollekake 2017-12-06 17:57

@sunnray Good job! There are plenty of places to kill off the cats to increase that score ;)

finbobby123 2017-12-06 18:35

I enjoyed finding the new methods of killing cats. That sounds strange out of context. Regardless, well done on making the game.

versatile-box 2017-12-06 19:33

That was a good game, man I didn't want to kill cats, tho :(

pablo-abraham 2017-12-06 19:51

Look, I thought it was cool!

A very original idea.

vfabien21 2017-12-06 20:25

Oh my god... Someone made a game about my neighbour... (for real. I think she has 23 cats in a 30 m2 flat)

That was fun, with plenty of tiny places to kill cats. Your death fate adds a lot of fun. Good job!

tim-eriksen 2017-12-07 08:15

Nice game! Apart from some bugs where the cats would get stuck in furniture it felt very polished and "finished". The sound effects and music was a nice touch too! I would have liked a way to restart the game after the final monologue or at least a way to skip the opening monologue. All in all a job well done! I look forward to see what you make in future LDJAMS :)

mollekake 2017-12-07 14:25

@tim-eriksen Thank you! That was a good tip! A possibility to restart or skip the cutscenes. Will add that later!

elfcirynn 2017-12-08 00:29

Cat pathing just like having real cats, 11/10. That was a lot of fun, well done, would be fun to see different levels.

janachumi 2017-12-08 01:56

I like the game I just think the dialogs are too long. I mean, you can skip them but you have to wait it load completely. I would put a button "Skip all"

brainoid 2017-12-08 10:47

this game has a nice mood! I played several times to beat your score after you saying your highscore was 18 or something. It's super annoying that you can only pick up cats from 2 directions but also that makes the game so much fun. Good effort!

mollekake 2017-12-08 11:05

Thank you guys! @janachum The updated version has a skip function :) @brainoid You can pick up from other directions, but it's a bit wonky, and sometimes they outrun you :/

lautregars 2017-12-08 23:01

Real fun game, with a start and an end, appreciable thing on a jam. Funny dialogues, funny concept, funny story, nice scoring, made me want to play more and hate my cats ; goal acheived, very good job. (I hope nobody will be offended by the killing cats thing, I personnally found this really funny (but my own's game's involving homeless getting high on drugs and eating tarshcans before jail or death so I guess that's in the same vein))

iferit 2017-12-08 23:09

Neat idea! I love cats but this made killing them fun :P

potti 2017-12-09 21:58

The art style works quite well, and the music's good. Initially i thought i was hitting invisible walls, but then i noticed the difference between doors and walls. Maybe That should have been clearer, maybe add a frame to the doors.

honest-dan 2017-12-09 22:02

First play of this I was skeptical, but found it actually a game I could play time after time and found it a fun challenge. I was glad to beat your high score on stream <3 good graphics and some good humour too <3

mollekake 2017-12-09 23:06

@potti Good idea! i've seen several struggle with it. @honest-dan thanks! Appreciate the feedback.

💀I wish I could kiss that grim reaper💀

illabom 2017-12-12 01:22

Nice little game you have here. Very well done!

Come check out my game if you like! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/virus-detected

Funny story! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtXXwu1asxI

I very much enjoyed the alternative endings and the clever cat removal mechanics! :cat:
