Cat Dad Redemption by Riftpoint Entertainment

This is the tale of Cat Dad, a retired gunslinger that must return to his bounty-hunting days to sustain his son.

Duel with bad guys, feel like a real western gunslinger and follow an emotive story about Cat Dad and his son.

In Cat Dad Redemption, you must be always ready to react to the outlaws' movements before they draw their gun. Also, you must be precise so you can shoot them before they shoot you.

The game is divided in various levels and scenes: -Each level tests you gunslinger abilities, with an increased dificulty. -In each scene, a narrator tells another chapter of this intriguing western tale.

In Cat Dad Redemption, you only need to use your mouse to play (we recommend holding it like a gun in your belt). -Right Mouse: Rotate aim -Left Mouse: Shoot -Mouse Wheel Up or Dow: Ready next shot -If, for some reason, you get stuck, you can press R to restart the level.

We hope you like Cat Dad Redemption!

Oh my god this game is amazing. I literally laughed out loud multiple times in the first "area", and when I started getting comfortable with the (innovative) control scheme it felt awesome. Great job with the western mood, great job with the gameplay, great job with the story. I really hope you folks win the jam!

Sem palavras pro jogo. Inovador, divertido, engraçado, gráficos lindos e trilha do Lair impecável como sempre. Créditos pra usar o mouse como se fosse um revolver.

OK this game is awesome. The control scheme is very challenging, but very fun to use after you get the hang of it.
The art, sound and music are great! The narrator nailed it
Very good game, very challenging. Lot of fun!
PS: I love the bottle as an extra challenge.

I cannot play it because there is no version for iOS or web, but I really have to mention that the idea is AWESOME!

Really awesome game. Excellent pacing and challenge. The overall aesthetic and audio direction was really good. Probably one of the more polished LD entries I've ever seen. Great job!

This game was absolutely fantastic. The voice acting was incredible, the level design was perfect, the controlling the gun was really innovative and an interesting mechanic. I had a lot of fun and was determined to beat the game. RIP Cat Dad.

Nice atmosphere and very interesting control! Really nice how you got the idea with the mouse wheel. The only thing is that I struggled so much with aiming, shooting and reloading at the same time and I forgot one of them every time :)

This was really the best one I've played in this jam so far! It has good mechanics that are addictive. Also it's polished enough to be a full game i guess! Keep up the good work!

This was incredibly fun, it was great to see a new way to play with the mouse, the sound + mechanics makes you feel like a real western, the voice acting did a great job. I have nothing to tell you how to improve this game, honestly, outstanding job.

What a great surprise! You guys really nailed the presentation, wow! The voiceover and soundtrack were on point. Every other aspect of the audiovisuals also fit perfectly. Great job!

The core game-play may be simple, but you really made the best of it. I always restarted a duel if I didn't get the bottle as well :)

Such an awesome game! Nice narrative, sounds and graphics. But the gameplay was a really smart idea. Liking it a lot. And the game is actually quite hard.

It's a challenging game, really fun, but there were some bugs, I'd kill all enemies but it wouldn't go to the win screen to pass the level, and then I had to play the level again, sometimes the level was really hard and having to do it again demotivates a bit, but apart from that, it was great, innovative and fun, the dubbing was amazing.

Amazing game. The way you control the gun is very clever and really makes you feel like a cowboy. I had a blast and difficulty ramps up nicely. The sound effects are very good (the gunshot is very nice, the voicelines are fun) and the visuals are cute.

It is a very fine jam game that shows that you can find simple mechanics that do the job amazingly well.

The narrative suits the game feel, the controls r nice and quite innovative!

I've tested it on linux running with wine, it runs very smoothly I can't notice any delay or anything out of the ordinary!

The best I've tried so far!

Really great stuff here! I found a bug where I got to level three, but it didn't advance after I killed all the dogs. Beyond this I think adding a punishment for hitting right click too soon would be good. Great stuff overall.

Fun to play and really funny, the writing is on point. After beating the dogs on level 3 the game got stuck.

Superb :mouse: :gun: :cat: game! The feeling was spot on, and voice acting very authentic. Music with the heart-beat. All very well made. I got through first gang with keeping right mouse down and hitting things as I passed them but quickly realized this was not the way to go with gang two! That added complexity to the game I wasn't really expecting but unfortunately it also got too hard there and I didn't see any "Skip to next checkpoint" so I could progress with the story and see where it would end.

@local-minimum @nikchernyakov @francisco-caal @jacksgamessucks @samsdevlog thank you all for your feedback. The game as a lot after that level, and even a surprise at the end. If this bug occur on this level or any other, just press R. The level will restart and the bug wont occur again. Hope you can finish the game now

This is godlike tier FEDKLFLK :Oc


I LOVE IT!

It is fun to play (especially when handling the mouse like a revolver, awsome idea!), the music is just amazing, the narration is awesome, and funny at the same time, the art is great (the characters remind me of Night in the Wood's arstyle), what can I say more, I had a blast playing this!


Now, I'm off to avenge Cat Dad by putting this game on my favorite games list!

Incredible, the game is actually FUN, and also starts getting pretty damn difficult halfways (it got better once I realized/remembered I didn't have to keep holding right click for the entire duration of the level), in addition to having a shit ton of levels which I didn't expect at all. The final "levels" are also very nice for stress relief and seeing how far the input scheme can go.
Normally I would've probably dropped a LD game where I had this much difficulty playing (the difficulty isn't a bad thing, I think), but it hooked me very well.
There's even all sorts of tutorials and menu/score screens and rolling credits, I can't believe it.

Fantastic polish on everything, and a really fun core mechanic!

I was just expecting there to be a couple of levels built, but there was enough content to really explore the mechanics.

Great job!

Wooooooooooow! This really cool game. I think that playing it I got more fan than from any other game from LD46! Amazing voice, font, graphics (stylish), controls and gameplay in General-everything is incredibly combined. You have every chance to take a high position in the competition. Great job, well done!

Really great game you got there! Kept me on my toes from the start to the end.

The voice over, sounds and music are insanely good. The sprites all have so much personality. The gameplay is simple to learn and hard to master, which is great.

The last 2 fights (well I think it were the last 2), were tremendously close to impossible.

Would have loved to experience the ending. Unfortunately the game did not finish after following level:

Otherwise an excellent, polished game! Perfect!

after level 7 the game froze I think. killed all but nothing happened.
I like the way it is handled. it is a hard game. IDK if the game froze before unfinished but it seems like a bug to me.

clearly that second screenshot is something I didn't see.

nice and fun game. I like the cowboy theme as well (could anything beside cowboy works? IDK)

I adored the voiceover and the concept is great! Gameplay seems simple but is hard to master - I had a blast :) and died many many many times (it was a Cat Dead Redemption ;)). The artstyle is very pleasant and it reminded me of "Night in the Woods". The whole thing feels nicely polished. Very good job.

PS. I tried holding my mouse like a gun in my belt but then I remembered that I don't have a belt ;)

This game was fantastic! I loved the unique control scheme, I'd love to see something bigger that used this same idea for the controls and expanded on it <3

Also, several levels in the game got stuck after I defeated all the dogs in the level. It seems like several people here have had that same issue, so I'm not sure if it's an actual bug or if the game doesn't have a proper ending after that level. Still, this is one of my favorite games so far!

Quite challenging control scheme and great voice overs. Though, the first level with four enemies was quite difficult and also bugged most of the time; the last guy goes down in one shot and then the level freezes. I did eventually manage to continue. I got all the way to the second level with four enemies (that require two bullets each). I like how you can one shot the guy by shooting the bottle, but this level was too difficult for me.
