Become a cat! Join a cult!

...

Even better, start your own! Stuff it full of humans! Sacrifice them! Then play with yarn!

In "Let's Join a Kitty Cult," you play as a cat, try to seduce humans into your cult by rubbing up against them and playing with them...

Then you SACRIFICE THEM TO YOUR DARK KITTY ELDER GOD!

But other cats have their own patron deities, and are possessive of their own humans. You may have to fight them for rights. Or, you can strike at their dark heart... that is, enter their litter boxes and DESECRATE THEM! KILL ALL OTHER FALSE GODS!

Ahem.

Should you manage you successfully help your god ascend... your cult will live on forever, in future reincarnations!

That is: Your cult information, including its members, will be uploaded. If you play and win again, using the same cult name, cult members will be appended to. Keep playing! Grow your cult as large as possible!

(Apologies, still working on a webpage to display all the different cults and their members. Upload functionality does work, however)

Awesome! Love the visuals. Gameplay is not super deep but heck, it's a complete game!
I had one invincible cat that couldnt hurt me either, I assume it was "dead" but not immoble or something like that.
the little bossfights felt like a really cool addition - would be neat to see that expanded upon :)

I don't seem to be able to bless humans fast enough before the bar returns to empty. Is the rate at which the bar decreases tied directly to Delta Time (And is VSync off?).

This game is really great! I absolutely love the art style, and the game concept is very original! Only suggestion is for more visual feedback when certain things happen, and also that the movement feels a bit clunky. Overall, a great game! Keep it up :)

Very fun idea, I LOLd as hell. The visuals are great, looks awesome in fullscreen. The gameplay is a bit strange, it took me a while to understand what I should do. Very cute and simple game. Good job!

The graphics are nice and simple. The dialogue and the concept were pretty funny. Overall, I had fun playing it. I did find it really difficult to fight off the cats in the left house because they would swarm me. I suggest the movement of the cats be a little bit slower so the player can have a bit of room to fight them. I found myself spam clicking because they cornered me so quickly.

Great job on the game!

Cool idea for a game, and awesome graphics! A bit hard maybe (I lost my 9 lives against a single cat and I have no idea why). I'd love to see a leaderboard of all cults. Good job making this game!

Nice idea, quite fun. The opening dialogue felt a bit boring, and consequently, I skipped it. Cat gods don't need instructions. But in fact, they do, and I had no clue how to play initially. I figured it out, but the opening text was slow and not exactly interesting. Could have had a tutorial system, rather than an instruction manual, but otherwise a very fun game! Could have also had more in depth boss battles in the litter boxes, but of course, time is a problem. :thumbsup:
