Holokitten by vidarn
Fight your way through the alien-infested beach using your trusty holographic kitten launcher.
Hopefully the game should be pretty self-explanatory, it's basically your standard action plattformer.
There's no music in the game (because of a lack of both time and skill) but feel free to put on some sweet chiptunes in the background (like this for instance: https://inversephase.bandcamp.com/album/chiplust), just don't take it into account when rating ;)
--- HOW TO RUN THE GAME: ---
To run the game, please _drag_and_drop_ the file named go_farm.love on love.exe (on windows) or love.app (on osx)
In other words, do this:
HOLOkitten.love ----> love
--- HOW TO GET THE SOURCE: ---
The file called HOLOkitten.love is a renamed zip-file. Simply rename it to HOLOkitten.zip and unzip it :)

I like sound effect of the cat. I like graphics. I like the ending, it was so satisfying, though I think I missed 5 coins.
Okay, minor problems time. The character's face seems a bit emotionless. Going left is more difficult than going right because your position is off-center. If you stand right against a platform that's as high as your knees, you can't throw a cat over it.
Overall, it only looks like a beginning of a game. I didn't have enough cat throwing and terrain exploring.
Very nice musi... Oh, right :P. Well, thanks for the link at least ;).
For some reason it wouldn't let me bind the DPAD of my PS3 controller, but that has happened in AAA games too so it's probably something wrong with my setup. Really solid feeling platformer even if I had to move by using the analog sticks. Key binding really offers a nice amount of flexibility, I'll have to keep that in mind.
The level design was pretty varied with some branches so it was okay too. I think either the player should've been smaller or the enemies bigger, because at the moment it was somewhat silly. A boss would've of course been nice, but the content you had is plenty considering the time limit. The variation when picking up coins was also a nice touch. The camera should've probably moved with turning, so that the player could see equally far in both directions.
That's weird, I've had that happen with a few LD games as well. I have no idea what's causing it, I'm sorry. :(
I usually download those games using Firefox instead, which works fine.
@sebasRez:
Did you try dragging and dropping HOLOkitten.love to love.exe? It should fix the problem :)
Sure thing, I've added a link to only the .love file now. Thanks for the suggestion :)
