I'm so blown away by the voice acting, audio and graphics. The mechanics was simple and easy to understand but at the same time I was so distracted by reading texts and trying to listen to the lyrics that it amped up the gameplay.

Laughed the entire I played, and every. single. part. of the audio was perfection. Reading the texts and also trying not to get hit was also really funny.

sugarsugarsugar 2023-05-02 04:11

Wow it really looks like y'all really had a blast making this one! Nice work!

awl1119 2023-05-02 04:48

Such a holistic experience! The story, art, gameplay and audio all come together so well in a way that shows the effort and creativity at every level. The texts on screen were hilarious and made me want to come back and play again, since there was a lot going on and I didn't take it all in at once. Nothing negative to say!

Absolutely love it super fun, crazy how you guys have voice actors didnt think ill see that here feels super chaotic, but i love it <3

artatruc 2023-05-02 10:01

Hilarious game, the audio, VA and art are amazing, i love the concept its a really fun game, good work!

freakyzelga 2023-05-02 10:06

Wow an actual voiceover! And some custom rap songs, sick! It was hard to text (or read the messages) and drive, so it took me some time to figure out and not to bump into holes and other cars, but eventually I managed! It was fun experience, great submission

anticdust 2023-05-02 17:48

very cool game!! really enjoyed playing it for a while. loved it. great submission!!!!

bopohx 2023-05-02 17:48

gameplay is not new, but I'm hooked on playing the game ) nice picture and good sounds! go on!

philocode 2023-05-02 17:57

This is truly a gem, had a blast playing it. Only the fact that the game is not saved and no checkpoints exist is a bit annoying, as you have to start from the beginning again. Other than that, especially the game's audio is just amazing :D

smdaniels 2023-05-02 21:11

Very cute and nice! Сool and charismatic cats! Level feels little bit long. Anyway game feels pretty nice. Audio kick's in!

teadrinker 2023-05-02 23:12

Great fun! Also better vo than most commercial games hehe! Agree checkpoints would be great

Thanks for hanging out in the stream and bringing your game!

Here is a link to the VOD that starts at your section. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1809875425?t=05h22m59s

Really good voice acting and music! The art also a nice vibe, great entry!

yorsh 2023-05-04 18:12

It's a weird one cause there is so much going on :o Everything is very well made tho, and work together to create a very strong and unique mood. It's the perfect length for a jam (although it kind of end out of nothing). I like the gameplay slowly turning into a bullet hell toward the end, it feels nice to play. The projectile graphics are a bit underwhelming tho. Good job!

crow-seeds 2023-05-04 18:13

@yorsh Yea we ran out of time, so we didn't get to make an ending or bullet projectiles :(

big-cow 2023-05-04 18:37

The aesthetics all come together really nicely - the rap, the SFX, the cool cat driving and reactions. The gameplay was really fun too, I liked being able to sideswipe cars.

kyboon 2023-05-04 19:55

Got to the end on first try! I'm a talented gamer you know :)

Too bad the game just restarted at that point, was hoping for an ending screen, but that's already a lot of content for a jam game so I guess that's asking too much.

My favorite is "TRY TO LOOK AWAY" "FROM YOUR PHONE", which ironically made me put more attention on the phone. Oh and the "delivered but not read" part too, laughed my ass off.

resacagames 2023-05-04 20:40

Game is on another level. Everything is just SOOOO polished, voice acting is amazing, art style, it's fun, the gameplay is enjoying. One of the best entries for sure. Amazing work, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! 😍😍

alexascher 2023-05-04 20:48

Nice game! Enjoyed humor a lot. Your rap is really dope, bro!

hanadulcet 2023-05-04 21:49

I saw someone on stream playing this game and I had to give it a try for myself. I loved this game so much - the plotline was both good and extremely funny, the texting while driving was full of so many funny moments and quips, and the raps themselves were full of great bars (especially so for a 3-day project). The art style is also perfect and adds to that vibe that you were going for.

Very rare to see a game with VA's as well (and great performances from the VA's)! Well done, well done.

senso 2023-05-04 22:44

Shitty cat 🐈 rap battle. This game was a blast ~guys. Love the art and voice acting rap ,especially the driving cat.

bangkerpow 2023-05-04 23:30

This game is puurrfect...scrolls up to see if this joke has been used...

I was entirely happy with listening to cat jams and then it turned into an actual game with upgrades and everything. My only complaint is that the font was very hard to read on the upgrades. It's a very cool experience otherwise.

luumi 2023-05-05 02:11

Top notch puns. The bullet hell angle was unexpected, and I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially with the challenge of trying to read the texts (which were great, by the way) while dealing with everything else. Great job getting all those rap lyrics out in such a short span of time!

dgo 2023-05-05 04:57

fuck they got a tank XD

veralos 2023-05-05 05:04

Wow. I was not expecting the voice acting, and I was *definitely* not expecting actual rap songs complete with cat-themed lyrics! This is just a super well made game with lots of personality. All the characters are well designed and drawn. The art is just great looking overall. The one exception is the white circle bullets which look fine but stand out against the detail of everything else. The story was entertaining and the dialogue was pretty funny. It was hard to read the texts while driving, but I guess that's part of the joke. The fact that the game just restarts at the end is bit disappointing, but it's hard to complain about that when everything else is so well done.

saltysa 2023-05-05 19:38

This was so good! I loved listening to the cat rap, kinda wish I could listen to it again to really hear the lyrics as it seemed really funny! The only thing is the ending, I wish we could have even just an image of dead fatcat in his tank or something, but everything else was so well done!!

mateusboga 2023-05-05 20:25

man this game is so funny xD but it does have a lot of information at once, and for me it was a bit overwhelming. I still had fun though! I'm sorry the audio was a bit quiet as well, didn't notice it until the end... Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812243942

crimoudin 2023-05-05 20:59

Very good entry. My highest rated game yet.

wolfier 2023-05-05 21:02

What, there's no ending? What's up that?

That was really hilarious.

crow-seeds 2023-05-05 21:19

@wolfier @saltysa @veralos @kyboon We ran out of time for the ending lmao, glad y'all liked what you played though!

flying-dog-fish 2023-05-06 20:25

This is just meowtastic. I love the funny voice acting, the funny raps and especially the texts during driving.

conduit 2023-05-07 03:32

Chock full of character, loads of fun to play and interacting with the NPCs was really charming (BIG UPS ON THE VC BTW). I can tell you all put a lot of hard work making this a very artful experience and I'm mind boggled you did it all in 72 hours! My only critique would be giving the driving sections more screen real estate, as it felt a little too constrained.

Congrats on a fantastic jam!

shiiro-10psi 2023-05-07 18:50

Great game. Really good difficulty curve adding a new mechanic each driving part. Shame about the missing ending, would love to see this get finished in the future.

jimmymcginger 2023-05-07 19:59

Fantastic job! While the game was fun and I enjoyed shopping and driving, the NPC interactions and raps stole the show. Blown away with the graphics & music which really elevated the experience.

aurailus 2023-05-08 03:02

This game is so cute! The texting and driving segments were my favorite, I was hitting cars left and right while reading the dialogue. The characters and music are expressive, the story was funny, our protagonist was lovably terrible. This game has great energy. My only suggestion would be that maybe the driving gameplay could be a bit deeper? It's also fun how it is, though. Awesome job!

langotriel 2023-05-08 14:05

Great rhymes, very funny and wonderfully illustrated cats!

bartalomew 2023-05-08 15:59

this game gotta win the audio category at least. so well done, the flow of the first guy is pretty sick as well. such a chill and nice adventure, really enjoyed it. love me some catamine

2023-05-09 08:19

Love the art and the concept is neat. I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/wY-Lotk5KuU

weefairyfabi 2023-05-09 15:28

I absolutely love this haha the rapcat idea is so neat! Honestly the texting and driving was my favourite part of the entire game

cheesepencil 2023-05-10 02:18

tooooo funny lol ggwp

picross 2023-05-17 17:06

This game is so funny I love it so much. Banger music and hilarious voice acting. I kinda wish the "bullet hell" aspect started slightly sooner, I liked dodging and texting! Very fun game and cohesive. Great work!

konfekt 2023-05-17 21:53

this game has SO MUCH in it man, and i mean that in the best way. i would've loved a little bit more of an ending, but honestly what an experience. top tier audio and I'm a huge fan of the texting and driving segment.

poshdan 2023-05-18 14:52

There is so much love poured into this game, I'm kind of blown away! Voice acting, spitting bars, goofy characters, heaps of puns, a bunch of little details, we are not worthy of this kind of effort :) The juxtaposition of texting and driving was an added layer of wit I did not expect, and I was sad to miss out on some of it for the sake of beating the game.

This game is certainly more about the mood than the gameplay, and if there is anything to be nitpicky about, it would be the slight lack of challenge. But it didn't seem like an actual flaw and I had a great time playing nonetheless!

cinterre 2023-05-18 23:12

I was engaged enough to play the whole thing. Controls felt good, and enjoyed the writing. Nice job!

lomby 2023-05-19 12:42

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream the other week, finally got round to playing it yesterday! Really amazing how you could get so many great raps and characters created and included in the timeframe! Awesome game!
