Uh Oh. At least I had some fun?

sergio-nikol 2021-10-04 19:23

Funny crazy game!

ralfz 2021-10-04 19:26

You dead :( I liked it!

e-m 2021-10-04 19:48

Nice try!)

This was a lot of fun, I played earlier on stream, I like the subtle meme-ness of the game and I think you hit your aesthetic so well. Almost too well. The vine boom was hilarious and I was waiting for a bruh somewhere in there. Anyway, thanks for hangin earlier! Happy LD49

I loved the mechanic and feel of the game, wish it had a more visual feedback for where projectile shoots.

jake-marks 2021-10-05 03:31

Absolute chaos! Funny sound effects and interesting design choices as usual from you!

Insane game, very hard to critique something this downright mad... I think I would have liked more of a focus and a goal, and the gun itself doesn't feel very fun to use... Perhaps random weapons with random stats constantly swapping could have made it a bit more fresh but... well this game is what it is, definitely an experience.

rein 2021-10-05 06:46

Gave you my feedback during the stream earlier. This game is dumb and I love it. Keep up the good work!

Very Fast Pasted Shooter With Awesome Stock Sounds 10/10

codsalmon 2021-10-06 01:27

Very fun and surreal. Loved it

nardandas 2021-10-06 01:53

Very video game. My favorite part was clipping outside of the world and finding cabbage, then taking it to the edge of the earth!

nyles 2021-10-06 08:28

This is probably going to give me a fever dream tonight.

sheol 2021-10-06 10:31

mmhmm I love the overall aesthetics of the game! Very chaotic and really fun!!

pomo 2021-10-06 15:40

Another fun one Rex! Good job ;)

bridgefromtv 2021-10-06 20:51

Super fun and fast-paced and funny! I really liked it, no gripes at all! The "Click to Play" at the beginning sent me into a nostalgia spiral i'll never recover from. xD

xsangyhix 2021-10-06 21:54

Fun game, it is a plus for me because I like cats. You could have added more feedback on the stats and mutation. Other than that, keep working on your skills and keep up the good work.

itsboats 2021-10-07 00:32

Really dope there's a lot of other cool stuff you could do with the mutations like explosive bullets, split shot, knockback, maybe a mutation can make you spawn bombs too xD Keep up the good work, this was a lot of fun to play and I loved the character! <3

heiach 2021-10-07 00:40

I love the random stats idea! I thought the numbers above your head were tiny calendars at first though!

thestoff 2021-10-07 06:37

Wow this game was wacky haha! Had a good time with it. Great work :D

victoriaogino 2021-10-07 19:54

Very fun! The stats were a bit hard to read, but the music, sound design, and overall vibe were all excellent!

vimlark 2021-10-07 20:16

I don't know what just happened lol. But I laughed by butt off :)

outfrost 2021-10-07 21:05

I struggled to tell what I was suppoed to do in the game. After destroying 30+ enemies, the game appeared to implode on itself and take the browser along with it. It was... interesting? :joy:

potkirland 2021-10-07 21:25

its a fast paced action packed hardcoreparkour game. cant get enough of one hitting all those monsters!

bougiebirdie 2021-10-07 22:39

For your worst game ever, this is a pretty fun game!

jitspoe 2021-10-08 02:55

Well, this was chaos! Got to 145, but half of that was spent underground, then I ran off the map on the left side -- even the physics are unstable!

adamcyounis 2021-10-08 04:06

Man, this was something else. I think you managed to put together a nice balance of progression and RNG. The mounting complications with the physics system and frame rate almost felt intentional, so great job there. The general feel of the gun firing and knockback was really good, and I think in general this was super fun to play. Overall, maybe a little more generosity with the randomisation would have been appreciated, not to mention just more constraints on the design space.

Thanks for the game! Lots of fun!

etrealjunior 2021-10-08 04:17

Pretty fun, but when the score goes up too much, it starts to bleed through the game.

salohcin894 2021-10-08 23:13

I found the cabbage.

I spent more time on the ceiling than on the ground. Truly a game about a cat.

Really difficult but I think that is :star: very cool :star:. I liked the cat's little legs and their little running sound. Thanks for making this game. :100:

Secret ending: I shot myself up into a corner for a while and then through the map, now I fall forever.

mediflect 2021-10-09 02:19

One of the most ridiculous games I've played so far. I think at one point my gun had a clip size of 420 and I was just spamming left click flying around on the ceiling. I think my highest score was around 28 or so. Absolutely hilarious!

ghostbit 2021-10-09 05:43

AMAZING GAME! WANT MULTIPLAYER. 5 STARS

geoblackru 2021-10-09 07:35

I dont understand what I am doing but I like it

drunk-wizard 2021-10-09 07:44

Oh man, absolute masterpiece! The game just oozes fast-paced janky charm all the way through. Love the scaling of difficulty, I even love that I was able to levitate, basically I had no idea what was going on, but the premise was explained and so simple, I didn't mind :) It's a shame about the sound as that would elevate this game to a whole other level (I didn't hear any sounds, even though I read a comment here about running sound, so maybe a problem at my end)

rextgun 2021-10-09 07:51

@drunk-wizard what os do you use? if you dont have windows i can try to release a executable build for you. but if you do have windows i suggest playing the windows build, and if audio doesnt work on that then play the web build

drunk-wizard 2021-10-09 08:01

@rextgun ah yes, it was the web build, in all the frantic gameplay I overlooked I can download the game :X thank you for your reply, and yes, it is definitely much better with sound :D I tried working with audio in Unity, didn't watch any tutorials but still, my audio feels like it's off, your enemy sounds however stack very well together, they don't create that cacophonic super sound I am used to from my work :D my high rating still stands :)

2021-10-09 08:04

It's ok, but not polished. Seems like you wasted a lot of time to program routine stuff, you should try to use engines.

rextgun 2021-10-09 08:13

oh i used a engine! godot to be specific, just wasted alot of time jacking off and being exhausted.

kekkodude 2021-10-09 08:14

Havent been on newgrounds for a while, nice game, poppd some Things, shot some other things and did gangsta cat stuff. Most realistic gun sound i have heard yet. What is this!?!? loved it

ditam 2021-10-09 09:03

A surprisingly fun game! I'm not sure what does being a cat have to do with anything, or what were the objects attacking me, but I shot a bunch. Good shooting mechanics! My favourite part was waiting to get a quick reload, then moving in the air using the recoil mechanic.

Is there an endgame, or is it just about killing as many enemies as you can?

rextgun 2021-10-09 09:24

@ditam no end goal, just complete killathon

idan9000 2021-10-09 09:26

What a ride. I love the aesthetic of the game, and the chaotic moment to moment gameplay. Highest score I was able to get was 29 (earned legitimately with blood sweat and tears) and got a tophat. Only thing I'd say that could have been improved on was the UI for the player stats. Every 10 seconds I had to check my stats to check if my reload speed was good enough to actually try fighting it out, and it took me a little bit every time. Great game though, glad to have played it.

tomssuli 2021-10-09 09:30

Phew! That was crazy!

I liked the glitchy music and the recoil mechanics. Graphics were the level of "so bad it's good".

Unbalanced mutation mechanics gave something to adjust to every once in a while. You could even strategize a little bit by being in somewhere safe when the mutations happen.

Anyway, this game was very unexpectedly positive surprise :D

javasaurus 2021-10-09 09:38

This...game...is... AWESOME !!!! Well done, very cool concept, would make for a very nice stream game if for example chat on twitch can select the randomization / weaponry / enemies. This was pure instability at its core, matching the theme in a very meta way... WELL done, thank you for making this !

rextgun 2021-10-09 09:40

@javasaurus now this... ive been thinking of making a twitch game and i think i got the idea i need... evil minds think alike

pickens-inc 2021-10-09 20:08

As I said on stream, that was a much much better experience than I was expecting given the obviously shitposty aesthetic it was going for - usually games like that have an equally "deliberately bad" gameplay loop. However it's clear to see how much thought and design had gone into the game feel as the gunplay was surprisingly satisfying and improved in half a dozen ways that weren't immediately obvious to me until I took a second. The sound effect for the gunshot is really nice, the camera movement, the particle effects were both very satisfying and so did the time slow during kills which added a moment of much-needed clarity to the current situation. It even felt nice to die.

I also successfully found the cabbage, though as I could not ride it I would consider this game unplayable. (only joking it's great fun, well done)

gord10ahmet 2021-10-09 20:14

Great interpretation of the theme!

xparker 2021-10-09 20:16

I enjoyed the shooting mechanics, even the odd numbers (420, 69 etc) were funny.

Didn't really figure out the purpose / target of the game, but hey, it's fun running around and shooting stuff :slight_smile: :smirk_cat:

notapollogising 2021-10-09 20:33

no idea what the goal of the game is but i enjoyed it a lot lmfao. great feedback on shooting people and the mechanics made it fun to just fly around, good interpretation of theme and very creative, I enjoyed the windows crash sound on starting the level, added a lot to the mood. good graphics and audio, even though you opted out of them picking the audio to match with your game is still a skill so good job on that. maybe make it more straightforward next time but well done!

also nice seeing another godot user haha

yogurtthehorse 2021-10-09 21:34

so I'd say I just played windows xp themed bizarre anime cat. And I absolutely liked it! I mean flying with a gun shoots was so cooool. And then everything started blowing up! And then 420 bullets and then!! then!! Then I was dead.. But the very moment before it was so great!

thyagodarth 2021-10-10 02:31

How Crazy game and caotic, but this is good!

cakts 2021-10-10 06:00

Best advertisements this jam. Good game, made me question my beliefs

rextgun 2021-10-10 06:06

@cakts needed marketing that reflected my values. sploinky boinky

mateusboga 2021-10-10 13:47

What a chaotic game xD I love it. Thanks for submitting it for the stream! Here's the video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1172843369

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1171489560?t=05h05m07s)

Only true gamers will experience the Cabbage Ending :sunglasses:

xpoho 2021-10-12 01:50

Очень нестабильная игра! Спасибо!

anchorlight 2021-10-17 17:36

I'm at a total loss for words, and my eyes hurt.

theme_ultracursed.png

I'm concerned for my long-term emotional health but that's alright. Incredible game, visuals are like bleach to my retinas in the most aggressive way possible. Anyway, it's a 5/5 all around, let me know when you get the LimeWire mirror up and running. I'm gonna go take a depression nap now.

anoif 2021-10-18 22:10

Nice game and i could do nothing but shoot

dgspitzer 2021-10-19 07:29

This game is so dumb but so damn fun!
