Guardian Kittens by Pedro Romero

[raw]
made by Pedro Romero for LD 41 (JAM)

A band of dogs is stealing all the tuna and the cat guards are to lazy to exit their boxes!

Touch the boxes several times to wake to the cats in this mix of tower defense and idle game.

Great job! I like the audio and mood particularly - game play was smooth too! The tutorial was a big help - thanks for including it.

Not a bad idea, kind of reminds me of root beer tapper but with cats! However, I found the clicking mechanic to be more tedious than reactive and fun. And whilst the cats were awake, some of them wouldn't stop the dogs and they took the tuna anyway.

Great idea and nice execution. I see the tower defense part of the game indeed and maybe a little bit of a "clicker" games they way I was spamming the left mouse click to wake up the damn cats!
It kind of reminds me of plants vs zombies with the tuna being the Lawn mower :P

Nice artwork. The boxes could use some sort of visual feedback, it's hard to tell if the clicks were doing anything.

Fun game! The sounds for clicking on the cats were a little over-bearing, but overall fun entry!

Really liked the art style, music and some sound effects. Clicking the cats can be frustrating and feels like grind after some stages.

Very original Idea, and it seems to be a fun game. But I guess I encountered a bug, where after Stage 2 my cats didn't fell asleep anymore, so I had to do nothing for the rest of the game. It also took me a while to realize I had to click the boxes multiple times. That said, I love the sprites and animation. They are so cute and funny.

Nice idea, I liked the music but it sadly got drowned out a bit by the loud clicking sound. I'm a bit conflicted about the balance though, it felt like it was too hard to get the cats out of their boxes, but too easy to let them stay awake. A bit less clicking to open the boxes and a bit more to keep them awake would probably feel better.

All in all, really enjoyed playing your game.

I don't know if it's a bug, but after awaking all of the cats, they didn't fall asleep nor returns to their boxes anymore. In other words : when all the boxes where opened, the game was playing alone without anything else to do than watching (if it can helps, I played the windows version, because the web version was loading forever).

Dude! This has the potential to become the plants vs. zombies of clicker games :) Brilliant concept and take on the theme.
