omg those cats are ruthless! I hope they all have names
Oh god... is this my future!!!
Love the humour and the echoing cat SFX - well done! :D
@thenakedmartian thank you! some of them are actually our cats!
Amazing graphic design!
Love the art style and animations - adorable concept! I really appreciate that if you have a typo it not only has the classic sound effect, but that the cat gets stuck to your arm. Wish moving around was a bit easier, but I say this as someone playing without a mouse so for sure could just be a me problem. Great job!
Super fun and nice artwork, but the gameplay had some issues to me: - Stopping to summon is very rough - The controls seemed strange to me, like moving with right click, using wasd to summon, having to left click to throw the etc
But congrats on finishing it!
score.jpg Took me a while to get used to controls, but once I did - it only was mater of maneuvering around the rats. Felt like anything, but fatcat was a waste of time to summon though... it cleared screens! And as soon as I would mispress wrong cat to summon - I start to struggle with leftover rats gaining on me.
But love how simple, yet neat gameplay loop is!
I need to work on my typing skills XD. Unique take on the theme. I did have a crash when loading and when closing the game but when it was working it ran smoothly. Great game.
Such gorgeous art style
Oh my gosh, how did you guys whip up such an astounding piece in such little time? I'm head over heels for your art style – it must've been a herculean effort, right? And the game's difficulty is just perfect, exuding a vibe of total maturity. I'm so hyped, I can't wait to throw my cash at it! Shut up and take my money!!
That was fun! sometimes the first cat was better than the second, since he can shoot far.
I enjoyed that! Good job!
It took a while to get used to the controls but it was very fun afterwards! I've got to say, hairball cat is superior haha, easy to summon and can easily wipe an entire row of kited rats. Not to mention the meme cat sfx LOL. I loved it, very fun game. Great work guys!
It's totally different from other games of the same genre, with new ways to operate and QTE to release skills, not to mention this cute drawing style, love it!
Loved this, the surprisingly brutal cats contrasted with the cute artstyle and audio made you easily get 5/5 in Humor xD
That cat summoning mechanic is really fun and I had a blast just trying to summon them as fast as possible :) would've preferred the difficulty scaling increase faster. Great work!
Love the idea and the graphics! The game was pretty rough to control, though. Hope you had fun making it!
I knew I lacked QTE skill, but not that much :joy:
ahahaha I love the artstyle, the game is super easy to understand and its so funny throwing cats around, I love the big cat especially <3
Cool theme and nice gfx and sounds
At the beginning difficult, get used to it and it's very fun. The art is very very nice
Great art style! Love the cats :cat:
A bit frustrating the constant clicking to advance but otherwise its brilliant
1.jpg Great artistic work!!! the animations and character design are excellent! The idea is great, maybe I didn't find it completely related to the topic, I found it difficult to play it since the access keys didn't seem intuitive to me (I'm attaching my sixth attempt jaja!). But overall it's very good work! xd
I love it when teams have super talented artists
LMAO funny and beautiful game, I see my future in it
Very fun game, with nice art ! but controls seemed a bit illogical to me, also a bit hard when you don't have a qwerty keyboard hehe !
I love the music vibe, pretty great. The art is so cool, but might be a bit too many things to do just to get one action done. Also would be nice if you tell us in the tutorial of each cat's ability. Keep it up!
Really cute and quirky game, I just think there's too much to do for a single action/attack. It make it felt more tedious than challenging. But the artstyle is really nice!
THIS was fun!! also very nice idea and great style
Is it just me getting an error? I've tried starting the game in Firefox and Opera GX, but I get the following message:
``` Uh oh!
If you're seeing this error, it means I can't find your index.html file.
This usually means you created your .zip file by zipping the entire folder, and index.html is somewhere like MyGame/index.html. If you recreate your .zip with index.html file in the root, this error should go away.
See the embedding guide for more details. ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/ 404 Not Found ```
@denilseven Yes, the game in this page doesn't work, you have to open it un itch.io until devs fix the link in ludum page, sorry!
Lovely art style! The controls are very busy, I found it difficult to type and move with the mouse. I think if I could move using the arrows it might be easier to control.
Art was cool! Really polished! The samurai cat is strong 🐈
Cute! Artstyle is dope, big chungus is sometimes falling of the screen though. Really like it :)
Excellent quality work in almost every aspect. Graphics, sounds, concept, creativity—all top-notch. The big issue, however, is the controls and difficulty level. A more forgiving, progressively challenging gameplay and better controls would greatly enhance the experience. The rest is first-class!
Very fun theme implementing! Solid game! A little bit tricky controlling.
the game is very cool and funny C:, but I didn’t have time to use my abilities and they quickly killed me. It would be cool if with each new arrival of enemies the speed increased and not immediately
The game’s art and humor really stand out, making it a unique and enjoyable experience! The concept of summoning cats adds a fun twist to gameplay. Great job on the creativity and execution!
Very nice idea for a game! Simple concept, but it takes some skill to survive. Love the different abilities. Art style is cute and funny and the music and sound effect are nice. Well done!
Nice visuals, the cats are really adorable, the controls are a bit difficult though. It was fun, well done!
Loved the art
Loved this submission! Great example of taking a simple concept and executing it well. had a very addicting nature to it and a lot of funny moments as I had to rush to summon Chonky as a horde of rats were chasing me down. Art style and music were also super charming!
also cool to see another fellow game about summoning cats :D
Overall awesome work!
@naplz98 Oh thanks! I didn't even think about looking for a Itch.io link or something. Imma play it now (I'm really curious to see what *Stabby* does XD)

Art is fantastic! It was very fun! Especially near the end. Mostly used the second cat, I feel like this dude is overpowered.
I received a lot of fun!! Non-typical idea for this theme. My fav is big white cat.
This is a very beautiful visual
I need a stuffed animal of this cat.

And nice game!
Cool game, I liked it!
Unfortunately not working at all with AZERTY keyboards
Interesting and funny concept! Very good job
Really liked the game! Hope you make lots more in the future!
Cute and fun game! A little hard to learn and would like to see changes in mechanics. Controls are a little hard to learn too, but otherside, fun!
I like it. Fun concept done well, the audio is quite good.
I need more explanation of how to summon a cat in game playing,that spent me some time to figure our how to summon, but others are so good, good art and game feeling,wish fore more kinds of cat or other content to play
Interesting concept. Took me a while to get used to the controls, though.
COOL art style and concept!Who doesn't like cats?Controls are litle bit difficult，but still like it!
Great art and mechanic
Super cool, extremely funny game. Liked the concept and the art. Only problem: people having a different keyboard than qwerty are at a disadvantage. Would be purrfect with an option to map the keys to what you want (or choose your keyboard).
Really interesting game. I love the cats. Good job!
Is amazing how unique this game is. It also has very unique mechanics for a game from a game jam, and despite being simple, it completely immerses the player. Congratulations, guys.
Really cool artwork ! I agree with other reviewers that the controls are sometimes difficults, and I ended getting bitten will summoning because it took me too long to do the whole ritual. Nice entry though, well done !
I am noob I guess, so it is was hard for me
The controls were hard to master, I had a hard time in the beginning. But eventually I got it managed to survive long enough. Loved the cats though, nice job
Well done! It took awhile to learn the abilities but the art was fantastic, sfx were great, and the mechanic was fun. Felt almost like a wizard game but instead you're an old cat lady.
Cool game,I love what happens when i input a wrong key.
Aw, such a cute game about murdering rats! Needless to say, this is very impressive in terms of visuals and animation, it takes a lot of work to have this level of polish and detail in a game jam. The gameplay was pretty fun, though it's a bit difficult with a non-QWERTY keyboard. Very good entry overall!
Nice little game, killed about 300 rats. The only thing which I really is missed is movement by holding right mouse, not clicking it 3 times per second. Otherwise good job!
Fun mechanics. Enjoyed the game, good job.
Neat game, although I would have wished for better movement controls. Sweet art!
I really liked the style of the game and the sound effects. The game itself is simple and very cool. Good job!
Cool idea! but big cat seems to be little bit op for me

This game was awesome! I loved the atmosphere, music, and overall theme. It took a few tries to figure out but once I got the groove of it, I killed a few rats :sweat_smile: I think the controls are a little difficult if you have wrist problems, maybe arrow keys for the summon combination? Keep on making games!

Funny cat game
I love the animations you put on this
Hey folks! Just gotta say, your game is seriously rad! The art style is dope, and the concept is super original. The gameplay, mixing up all those mechanics, is nicely balanced, although it took me a sec to get the hang of it. Keep up the awesome work!
Good idea and nice art style! Good work :)
Fun idea ^^ the only problem for me is the keyboard binding :/ I'm using AZERTY but key still in QWERTY, good game otherwise :)
There's humor and original gameplay... and the cat that spits out hairballs as projectiles is a fun idea!
The right-click movement with limited distance is not very practical, but hammering the key is fine!
Great work!
That is a really interesting concept, had great fun, thanks would love some more effects and cats, would be really engaging
Yaaaaay, your concept art! They are fun)) I like it) It's hard to play a little. Because of usual WASD for moving and QTE, but it still gut)
Beautiful art and very good music. I thought the gameplay left something to be desired. The idea is good but there are a lot of disconnected things to do at the same time: Click to walk, type to summon, type the correct sequence and shoot. Knot in the head.
Congratulations for the game.
It's an interesting concept. I like art and music, but I'm very bad at this type of game. Good job!
Too hard for me. But the art and audio are awesome. The different skills of cats are very funny. Great work!
Really funny game, could gain more by having different map, one is enough for a game jam though
I like the UI and music! Nice game to kill time and try another type of mechanics. Good job!
Extremely adorable game!! I especially loved the cat sounds haha. I kinda wish that the summoning would show which direction to press it in but overall, it's still really fun! Great work!
Nice game! Pleasant graphics. The music is pretty quiet. Moving by right click is pretty counter-intuitive
