Robot Hunts Kitten by edric_garran

made by edric_garran for LD25 (COMPO)

Didn't have time to add sounds =/

I hope it works out of the box on windows as well,
only tested on linux.

* EDIT *

Now the packages are stand-alone
Just run game.exe on windows, or run.sh on linux.

If on any other system, you will need python 2.7 and pygame installed.

Doesn't seem to be doing anything on my machine when I open game.py (64 bit win7)

Running it on my Win7/64bit machine also didn't work.

Sadly, I also couldn't run it on Win7, 64 bit, Home Edition.

Sorry folks, I should have made a proper distribution for windows (and tested it). As soon as I can get this crap to boot I'll do it.
@Puffi That's a really weird error, since the image really is NOT a windows BMP file. Do you have the dynamic libpng installed? It's so basic, pygame must not even consider it as a dependency...
Some people had trouble running it on 32bit linux, but I can't help them =/

Just repacked the linux version using cx_freeze, should be more stand-aloney now.

The kittens seem to sort of come out of nowhere and behave erattically. Also, not sure what the win condition is.

Although evil, killing kittens was necessary for the robot uprising. I'm not sure how I won, but i did. I guess that's what matters anyways.

Too many kittens; robot cannot hunt them all! I like your sprites a lot, and the charge shot mechanic is cool. Sounds would add a lot to this.

I have no idea what the win condition is, but I won anyway.

First off, i LOVE the kitty animation! Didn't seem to have much gameplay going for it though, plus after a moment the kittys spawn out of control. On linux when i ran it it also took over both of my monitors and spanned across multiple desktops, which was very odd.
