I really like the arcade style you have going on currently. However, admittedly I think it being more cartoonish would definitely give your game that extra oomph. It would take your character (who already has quite the personality) a step forward and as someone who enjoys more cartoon/anime/colorful art style, I feel like it would make the cards pop and stand out more as well @itskdog
Cool concept! I really like that your game involved multiple components. I couldn't get the first game with the space bar to work, but the cat level is a cute concept (and so accurate). I do wish there was a restart button at the very end to easily try again to increase your time. Also I think the timer is a bit off as the seconds seemed to go up to 100 rather than 60
Cool game! Love the graphics - took a while to get a hang of the controls though. I would recommend having the instructions stay up a bit longer at the beginning. I thought I had to go over and interact with the different weapons and charging stations before the instructions went away so I didn't both reading them at first. Then as soon as my character reached the machine (and I went to reads the directions), they were already gone. Cool gameplay though and definitely addicting once you get the hang of things.
Super cute game! The music makes it. Admittedly took me a minute to figure out what was going on - the leaks took a sec to start. Once I caught on though, I loved that you can see the hole appear before the water starts leaking in. Some of the holes didn't seem to be reachable though? Not sure if that was a design choice to ensure the ship sinks. Only other improvements I would suggest are, if you opt to jump overboard, a different message be displayed than 'yurr sunken' and making it such that your character can't be under water too long (i.e. some sort of counter to tell the user 'hey you're running out of air' - overall though love the concept and the story :)
I couldn't get the game to load so I don't want to give a rating, but the art style looks really cool!
I appreciate you can move the book around the screen and like the idea of dragging and dropping the ingredients from the shelf into the summoning circle. I definitely struggled with trying to figure out what the different spells were asking for, but I like the idea and art style!
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!
I love the aesthetic of this. It's simple, but super cute! Controls were easy to follow and I appreciate the fact the projectiles aim on their own. Reminds me a bit of Vampire Survivor except you can summon allies rather than gaining weapons. There were lines that kept popping up across the screen as I played which was a bit distracting/took a way a bit from the game, but overall great job!
