Nice minimalistic artstyle. Everything manages to convey exactly what they are with very few pixels. The minimalistic AI also does it's job very well, the cats sometimes miss, the robins sometimes flutter around. It all creates some nice emergent gameplay.
This game need sound and some higher stakes for the player(like the player dying so you have to restart) for the game to be really good. But I liked it. The bird animations are wonderful. Good job!
Haha, it is astonishingly satisfying to take the cats volley ;-) The controlls are smooth and the gameplay fun. I liked the minimalistic art. Came to 6 birds at a time.
Nice and simple game, I would have liked if you could jump with arrow up, got confused a lot of times by it :)
The game is very simple but is has a great "art concept" so well done, beautiful game overall, I wish it had some sounds would've made this game even better, besides that great job !
The art style as much as game mechanics are simple yet efficient! The only fact that I put 152 cats into orbit must be a sign that the gameplay hooked me at some point :) Well done!
Would be cool if you could hit multiple cats with one thwomp!
it's a cool idea but it needs something to make it less repetitive. I got 105 cats in orbit :) (poor cats)
Light on features but simple and pretty fun. It's amazing how you made birds recognizable with literally 5 pixels, pretty impressed and tickled by that. Obviously some audio and some kind of progression would help take the game further, but LD's a crunch and that's the way of it. Had fun and had a few laughs. Nice job!
They just keep coming, gosh, what a cat town! Nice game, nice art. Esp love the gameover screen!
Haha, I played this way longer than I thought I would. Simple but fun. I like that the old lady is pretty much a ninja master. It didn't seem like difficulty ramped up though. Sometimes there would randomly come waves with a lot of cats but then it slowed down again. The simple graphics worked well but I wished there was some sound as well. Ending screen made me laugh!

I love it, but at the same time feel bad for clubbing cats into orbit! :P Really unique idea, nice simple graphics and a brilliant sense of humour!
Nice Game. I like pixel art !!! it is gives a lot of fun :D
