Cute arcade style game! Great work on the art!

shieldssounds 2021-04-27 00:31

Can this be a full game plz? I wanna play this on my Switch - Great job!!!

timeloopedpowergamer 2021-04-27 00:31

Great feel of sinking into the ocean. Cute and quick. I liked it.

sabomball 2021-04-27 00:31

easy mechanics and fun to play :) the music is a bit much (the volume is quite loud) but is a great choice when it comes to atmosphere.

oeschmid 2021-04-27 00:33

The art and music are great! I love the cat :) but also the stuff like the pufferfish exploding are fantastic! Especially when you get a chain reaction going. Really well put together, fun arcade game :)

zeoxo 2021-04-27 00:35

Loved everything but especially that music!

im5x5 2021-04-27 00:35

Very fun, and I really enjoyed the music. The art is on point and super adorable, I love his little leg kicking!

Man, those graphics are spot on. The game was fun and the controls were easy to master. In my opnion, it got really hard really fast at the end. A more gradual buildup in difficulty would have given me more time to play this amazing game! Nice job.

Great music! Reminds me of Matt and Kim. I liked the art and controls as well. Overall very good and right on the money with the theme.

chrissx2 2021-04-27 02:47

Lol, love the idea of the cat with a little bubble helmet.

pedrohph 2021-04-27 03:10

I loved this game. The ideia is very good, art are beautiful and sound is cool!

The bubble/helmet is so cute.

For some reason, I can't see the game over the screen, so I never know how many points I have scored.

Nice work :smiley:

auxc 2021-04-27 03:17

Nice, you got a proper bossfight in! Well executed game with great atmosphere. I was catjamming the whole way through! :D

preda 2021-04-27 13:13

I really like how this looks and how simple it is

ladycerberus 2021-04-27 14:02

Love this little kitten and so fun to play, congrats!

guimm12 2021-04-27 16:53

I heard there was a boss fight, so came back and finished the game, very glad I did haha. I like how unique every enemy is, leads to more interesting gameplay for sure. Great job!

cambosouph 2021-04-27 17:19

haha glad you came back to finish it @guimm12! Thank you so much!

digo 2021-04-27 18:06

Very cute and fun! I also absolutely loved the music.

2021-04-27 18:16

Awesome game and artwork! Very cute! Great work 😊

I think I did indeed find Catlantis and it was full of game credits ;)! I really loved the graphics, especially Diver herself. Music is also quite cool.

Gameplay is totally fine and feels polished. There is a nice variety of enemy behavior, which really adds some meat to the game. I only met one bit of a bug with pickups - sometimes they just don't react, and you have to swim over them a few times before our heroine actually picks it up. And I wished I had a health bar or something to that effect.

The boss cheats and does not take damage until he fully reveals himself. It was surprising. But I forgave him - after all, he (she, it?) is the THE BOSS :wink:

Incidentally, we called our game "Catlantis". Great minds think alike :laughing:

attala 2021-04-27 18:51

My daughter really enjoyed this game. The graphics was amazing. (My daugther specially liked the helmet). Fun game.

systemeffect 2021-04-27 19:06

The excitement of going from "I HAVE MORE BOMBS THAN I'LL EVER NEED" to "I NEED MORE BOMBS" in 3 seconds was astounding.

Great quick game, enjoyed the different enemy types. The air bubble as the health mechanic is a cool twist on it. My only suggestion is turn up the speed of play.

ithildin 2021-04-27 20:56

Lovely art style, solid gameplay and catchy music :heart:

The item spawns felt a bit too unpredictable, but other than that this is quite a solid entry. ¡Great job everyone!

poboy 2021-04-28 09:09

Really wonderful art style and overall quite fun :)

valfr 2021-04-28 15:14

Cute game :D

julia-lee 2021-04-28 15:57

Very cute game! but wish it had a settings button to control music.

azaliya 2021-04-28 21:38

I love art! So cute :hearts:

nyanpierre 2021-04-28 22:10

so cuteeee, the game is a little bit difficult. I love the animation of the chat x) and the sfx work pretty well, good job

milkwine 2021-04-29 04:18

Cute game, nice music. I would have liked to tell exactly how many lives I had left so I could choose to be more or less risky when going to grab more bombs next to enemies. I was going to give up after a couple of unlucky tries, but saw comments about the boss so I decided to try a couple more times. Some way of showing how close you are to the end might also keep more people playing until the end. Good job!

ancient-pixel 2021-04-29 12:25

I am a simple man, I see cats - I clicks. You have a real good variety of enemies and I like how its not just scrolling right, but down, this is very different from usual bullethells and works great!

maximegammaitoni 2021-04-29 19:49

a cuttie little shmup ! nice entrie !

cambosouph 2021-04-30 13:36

thanks for the feedback @milkwine! Having some kind of progress meter is a great idea.

hwaet 2021-05-01 01:37

The art and music are great. The slow descent is nicely paced. Great addition to the usual mechanics.

joonamo 2021-05-01 09:18

Greetings from Catlantis!

After clawing my way around the many different sea animals and finally puncing the gategeeper, I eventually managed to reach this long-rumoured gradle of cat-civilization. The music here is rocking hard and after you get to know the sometimes aggressive sea animals, you can start enjoying their beauty.

Altogether enjoyable trip down here, wish you join me down here soon enough!

PS. Remember your cat-helmet can use the bombs with shift. It wasn't included in the manual and took me few tries to figure out!

lucavazz 2021-05-01 14:04

Incredibly cute deep-sea cat.

The life counter in the bottom left seems to be broken unfortunately, it always showed 2 (instead of 7 :P)

incal 2021-05-12 20:58

Cute art, nice work with the attack sequences and enemy diversity, especially the blowfish.

oadt 2021-05-18 17:30

Who would have guessed there is such cool music under water! Super cute graphics and nice idea to indicate the health (though a bit hard to read sometimes) Also nice that there was a boss fight, but the end was a bit abrupt :smile: Great work!

yword 2021-05-18 17:50

Yeah, I just defeated the boss! Really fun and cute, with great mood too! Maybe it will be more fun to play if can use mouse to aim and shoot.
