I wasn't able to last very long and at first thought I should be able to go higher and higher but I think you have the one room to play in? Interesting product and might be a good one to expand on... maybe a volcano escape?"},{"author_name":"Geckoo1337","author_uid":"35835","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 5:03am","epoch":1429592280,"text":"I like the aesthetic and mood, but it seems to me confusing.

The lava graphics are beautiful! The water spray is hard for me to see in context of all the other colors, it feels too subtle. I jumped off the screen to the left and couldn't get back. In the web version, whenever I tried to spray a cat, the frame rate collapsed, and then I died."},{"author_name":"Cheshyr","author_uid":"20497","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1429718760,"text":"amusing idea, and the audio was well done. nice submission."},{"author_name":"andrewkennedy","author_uid":"20990","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 1:16am","epoch":1429837860,"text":"The game was pretty confusing - I had a really hard time controlling the character.

Windows build recommended, which also includes anti-aliasing and stylized noise.\r\n\r\n\r\nMade by our team of two. All assets and code were made during the 72 hour jam. Audio was made with Audacity. 3D models were made with Blender. Coding was done with C# in Unity 5.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn this game, use the unconventional weapon of a spray bottle, to battle with cats in a volcano, while they use the unconventional weapon of giant yarn balls. Your spray will also help to keep you above the advancing lava!\r\n\r\nIn Game Description: \r\n\r\n\"You are an Alien!\r\nYou have come to earth bearing the gifts of your people \r\nfor our planet's most intelligent creatures. \r\n\t\r\nYou quickly introduce yourself to the cats of the planet.\r\n\r\nWorried that they will lose their comfortable\r\nlifestyle if you share their secrets, they throw you into \r\na volcano to destroy you with your one weakness, lava. \r\n\r\nUse your Spray Bottle to stay alive as long as you\r\ncan by jumping and launching yourself to rocky platforms, \r\nbattling cats and their yarn balls as you go. \"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nBest played with a 360 controller.\r\n\t\t\r\nKeyboard Controls: \r\n\t- A\/D to Move, W to Jump, \r\n\t- Left Click to use your spray bottle.\r\n\t- P to Pause\r\n\t- M to Mute\r\n\t- R to Restart\r\n\r\nXbox 360 Controller Controls:\r\n\t- Left Stick to Move, A to Jump, \r\n\t- Right Stick to use your spray bottle.\r\n\t- Start to Pause\r\n\t- Back to Mute\r\n\t- B to Restart\r\n\t- Start to Progress through Menus\r\n\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy our game, and best of luck to everyone who entered a game this time. :)","title":"AquaphobiCats"}
