Everything manages to convey exactly what they are with very few pixels. The minimalistic AI also does it's job very well, the cats sometimes miss, the robins sometimes flutter around.

It's amazing how you made birds recognizable with literally 5 pixels, pretty impressed and tickled by that. Obviously some audio and some kind of progression would help take the game further, but LD's a crunch and that's the way of it. Had fun and had a few laughs.

Simple but fun. I like that the old lady is pretty much a ninja master. It didn't seem like difficulty ramped up though. Sometimes there would randomly come waves with a lot of cats but then it slowed down again. The simple graphics worked well but I wished there was some sound as well.
