Really liked the game, the later levels got a little crazy with all the towers and monsters, I feel like there needed to be more objectives during the early to mid game

A solid (tower) defense game with a unique combination of different gameplay and graphical elements. The pink (cat food?) blobs as enemies were quite random, same for the player's gun, but they served their purpose. The gameplay was fun and decently balanced. A few minor issues, like that the player's movement stuttered a bit, and the UI elements didn't seem to scale with the screen resolution which made them appear quite small on a higher resolution screen, but nothing game-breaking. Good job overall. Screenshot 2024-10-25 at 0.45.23.png

I love cats.. That's all I must say. I was very Bias. HAahahhahaha Very nice game.

You had me at the "meow" sound when clicking on the cat tbh! I'm sorry for didn't submit your game until just now and I hope you manage to get enough ratings in time!

I didn't know how to get the other currency at first but I learned its from killing the enemies. It's a cute survivors-tower defense game that definitely skews towards towers because the player guns will not be able to handle the spikes in waves later on. ALSO idk if its something I did but it eventually dropped so many frames lmao like way later when I started buying the end-tier towers. Overall well-thought out and solid gameplay : )

Pretty fun tower defense, though it took me some time to realize that I needed to drag and drop to place towers. Nice art, cute cats!

Nice game, with good graphics - As mentioned, a bit jarring how different the enemies look. I've done a couple of LD tower defenses so I know they can be hard to balance, which I think you've done a good job with - Too difficult is 1000% better than too easy.

Hope you manage to get enough ratings :)

(Fyi in the past I've found like 15 ratings was enough to get a score)

Nice work, i got sucked into this one and played it for ages. Like JustMars mentioned, the UI scaling was a problem: on my high-density display the icons and stats were extremely hard to read. But it didn't stop me killing a lot of pink blobs! Great job!

Yessss, cats! <3

Took me a few tries till I got the hang of it. Somehow, I did not see realise at first that the option to get back some health exists haha

Sometimes, my gun would disappear and the build menu would open while there were still enemies on the field:

Fun thing that happened: My cat heard the "meow" sounds and decided to join in. Felt like there was meowing everywhere lol

Gameplay was really fun once I knew what I had to do and was able to get some of the better towers.

Well done!

Fun stuff, could be a great game to port to mobile!

Cute little game, I love how you can amass this wall of kitties so fast and the mechanics seem solid. Takes a while to get going on the upgrades but that is not really a problem, I wanted to keep playing. I couldn't speak to the sound because I was at a coffee shop and didn't have headphones. Keep up the good work!

Solid tower defense game. Difficulty escalated quickly enough you definitely felt like you had to keep upgrading with new towers. Wish there was a way to move or remove existing towers, so you were stuck with your choices, but that's fine. Couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do with the cats you bought from the shops though. Overall, very well done.

Very exciting game! As the game progressed, I had many small animals, and such cooperation made me feel great. However, the player's movement sometimes lags when playing, but this did not affect my enjoyment of the kittens!

Kitties! :3 Cute art. Pretty chill feeling of gameplay, I think thanks to relaxing music.

It's addicting 🤣 I like most of the art, the character doesn't seem to fit at all for my taste but that doesn't affect the fun, still loved it. I like that it wasn't the typical type of cat rescue!
