They Took Ghost Cat's Donut by Teejay5

[raw]
made by Teejay5 for LD30 (JAM)
They Took Ghost Cat's Donut, and now she's pissed.

@_Teejay5

rightfully, though. like I'd be pissed if someone took my donut. In fact, there might not be many things that trouble me more than the thought of someone taking my donut. hm. this has been an insightful chain of thought.

This game controls better with a gamepad; if you have one, BUST IT OUT!

Pro-tip; the fireball is more effective than the laser. spam it if you can't get through. Press space to skip the intro!

UPDATE: The game should be beatable now. Other than tweaking, I added no extra content.

Absolutely love the art/colors, so vibrant :D.
Super hard game, took forever just to workout a method to get through the first island and couldn't get past the second but love the premise, that intro scene is brilliant, nice job :).

Beautiful use of light. And love seeing a bit of cloth too.

I couldn't get very far, somehow hard to sight on those pesky whatever they ares. Can you have a 3rd person camera so you can be behind ghost cat perhaps?

Coudn't do anything against first enemies. Weapons doing nothing.

It was a bit strange to go with no visibility, but I found the universe fun.
It's not advised to jump when a enemy is pushing you, it's just pushing you in the void so fast when you are in the air.

Call it 'user hostile' or not, it's just too hard to actually be fun. I like your art style, though.

Amazing aesthetics! Loved the game and made it through easy version :) The main problem is that it's almost impossible to aim anywhere except four movement direction, but enemies approach from all sides.

Nice game with great graphics, but very hard.

Nice game, a bit short. Loved the brains in a jar, reminded me of futurama

Beautiful art style! I didn't hear any sounds or music though. I played on a keyboard and the controls felt a bit clunky. But I made it through. Overall, good work!

Well that was neat, except I just jumped past all the enemies and beat it in ~30 seconds.

Hi there. Got the donut. Like the weapon effects. Shame no sound. Good job!

Like others said, great aesthetic and humor, too bad there is no sound.

You could implement better controls with keyboard and mouse, what would be good for a web game.

@Nooner Bear : your post needs a spoiler tag ;)

Web didn't work for me. Downloaded Windows.
Got the donut in the second try. :)
Cool visuals, sadly no audio. The keys for the controls are assigned somewhat strangely and I could not find out how to get the fireball working.
But overall, it was fun. :)

Huh, is the web version not working for anyone else? It's still up on my end, maybe I didn't share it properly..?

Nice game and pretty polished in some aspects! Good job.

Nice! I like how the gameplay is based on the physics of getting pushed around, would be cool if you could only push enemies off instead of killing them. Great graphics too, and +1 for gamepad support.

This could be a really great entry if it was longer but as it is, it really doesn't feel complete. Even some filler planetes with the same enemies would do.

Interesting! Kinda fun in a simple way

Aw, that ghost cat is ADORABLE! I like how she just has sort of a veil that comes off sometimes, haha. The gameplay is a bit on the simple side, but it's still fun. I can't believe you made the laser look amazing, but less effective though :P

Oh, and I really like the graphics - the stylized low-poly look works really well. I'm still waiting for you to make a game with beatboxing music though! And I'm sorry: By the time you are reading this sentence, I have stolen and eaten your donut. It was delicious.
