I played it a while, it seems a little too easy and takes too long time. The enemies are not coming fast enough, maybe few more on the screen at the same time would be better. There seems to be lots of graphics implemented in this project. And the enemies are nicely animated, and player has multiple different animations in it. So looks good.

Thank you very much! This being my first time doing one of these, it was both thrilling and exhausting to do! Our team had a lot of fun making this game :)

A vertical scrolling shooter, my favorite genre! :-) The second level seemed easier than the first, because the snakes moved less horizontally. I would've liked an auto-fire option. Or auto-poop... eh...

Thanks so much for the feedback :)

I think you went into the negative karma section, there are actually 2 positive karma sections that are harder :) thank you for the feed back!

Quite a fun game. My spacebar is now much worse for wear! Like the art a lot.

yeah it definitely gets harder when you're a parrot, robbed me of all my karma :smile: good submission

I like the look and controls of the game. Not very original but very funny!!

lucas-kauff 2019-05-01 00:10

those damn cats ! cool game ! controls could be smoother

It needs to be more fast paced i guess or more ennemies. By the way graphics and sfx are cool. I'm glad i can play it with my controller btw :)

This was fun! I love the karma level changing mechanic and gameplay was fun. I found it a little hard but thats more to do with me sucking at these games :D Very nice work!

You should buy me a new keyboard after playing this. :smile:

This is very fun to play. I'm a big fan of shooters. The graphics are very nice and so are the animations. I hoped that with time the speed would increase, because it's a bit slow. Also would have loved flying enemies that can hit you once it gets harder.

This would have been much more fun if didn't have to spam my space button so much.

I love the art. The cats moving towards the chicks gives a kinda fresh gameplay to shoot em up games. Nice job!

Somehow the look and feel of this game makes it seem it could be some obscure Xenon-clone from the mid-90's.

I guess it could benefit from some variation in the structure since it gets repetitive quite fast. (For example: Enemies that move in different patterns, some that can hurt the player, change in speed etc. ?)

But I found it a charming experience. I like the idea how not only the environment, but also the player changes appearance between levels.

Thanks so much.

Would have been nice to add some feedback, so you could tell how many times you had to shoot one of those critters, felt like I shot some 10 times and then they would still eat my baby.

This game has a lot of really detailed pixel graphics and pixel animations, impressive for a jam! Also cool idea in general.

Below, some ideas/feedback if you are interested... The distinction between foreground items and background could have been more clear I think. Maybe just fading the background items a bit to white? Giving the large bird a shadow could also have been a cool effect that could make the distinction more clear.

As for the gameplay, I did not find it very clear that you had to hit the "enemies" multiple times. At first I thought I hit them enough times and they died but they actually ate the chicken? When they do that it looks like they die anyway!? :) I only figured out later when I got karma -8 that you had to hit them way more times after which I naturally started spamming the space bar. :)

thanks a lot for the feed back :)

Very nice pixel art, the bushes and greens were cool, and I liked the bird animation much. Gameplay was good, the snakeys were kind of difficult because they were rather fast. All in all, good work! :thumbsup:
