Untitled Cat Game by edgeboyo

made by edgeboyo for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

About

Game about a cat that was minding its own business, when suddenly monsters started attacking!!!!! Luckily, every 10 seconds the cat can pick a friend with a random powerup (but so do the enemies...)

Controls

Point and click (or hold) to shoot at the baddies. WASD to move around the map. Escape for when you inevitably fall off the map.

Enemy Types

Blossom

A machine gunner flower. Will shoot you 100 times a second for fun. Fortunately immobile as hell, and those bullets don't do too much.

Fire Dragon

Fairly standard, with a higher HP. Not much to write home about. Will happily function as a home heater for UK based players this winter.

Snake

Sneaky, Slow and Strong. Strongest individual attacks, but very weak defensively. Slightly harder to hit due to their small size.

Wolf

Woof. Woof Woof. Woof? (Most mobile foe. Can't attack often).

Very Cool Screenshots

The game has a lot of potential, but it's not very polished right now. Perks could have been more interesting than random numeric buffs

Its a good use of the theme and fun to play, the map borders got a little buggy on me and I fell out once or twice tho :l, otherwise I enjoyed it!

Radical. I could really feel the effect of each buff though it wasn't always what I expected from the text. The glowing particle effects were especially nice :)

Thanks for playing! We wanted to go overboard and try making a 3D game this year. You'll notice the bugs but we learned a lot :)

A classic concept adapted with a 10 second timer on your upgrades. Intresting! It feels kind of wonky to play right now though. The camera moves unexpectedly somehow. Was also pretty difficult to hit anything. But fun entry with a lot of potetial. Good job! Keep it up.

A bit basic but still fun. Some more polish and this will be a very nice game, good job!

It was a cool idea. We managed to glitch out of the world and got infinite increasing score haha :D The theme was greatly included and integrated into the gameplay. Good work overall, keep up the great work. It has a lot of potential. :) The only gripe I have is, that I wanted to play as a kitty the whole game and my model changed without my consent :(

Very interesting concept. Love all the unique abilities the animals have and the little animations and so forth. More feedback for the player like glowing red slightly every time you or an enemy gets hit would be good. Moving felt a little awkward with the camera angle. With some polish this could be a really fun game! Especially co-op and with a controller.

I thought this was really fun! But I really struggled to hear it and I felt the bullets had no impact which made me a little unsatisfied, more SFX really. I think the music was great though. The graphics were fun and I enjoyed the mechanic. I feel more colliders are needed hahah but awesome thanks

The mecanics are too complex, and if you add the few bugs, it's really difficult to understand what happens.

When we choose a change, the animal changes, with its proper stats, and AFTER we add the bonus ? I lost a few times my speedfire when I choosed speedfire. And gain it when I don't choose it.

I made a super jump for 30s and I finished my game when I fell under the town. And a few problems with the camera. I think, if you begin with 3D, you should be less ambitious. No up & down physics, static camera (Still focus on the character). I think you can find compromises. But I don't do 3D, I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Maybe add more feedbacks too.

You were brave to try so much things for this game (Lots of playable animals, different ennemies, etc). Very GG for that ! Good luck for the future 3D projects.

looks cute, but i wish for the better controls (it was kinda harsh), but the idea overall is great! need to be polished a little bit and everything will be nice!

Neat game and a good overall concept and take on the theme. I like the music and the quick gameplay. The gameplay is pretty rough around the edges: the controls are jarring, there are errors every end game, and other than survival I am not sure what the goal of the game is. All that said, this game is already very fun and has a lot of potential.

Vibe is nice, couldn't figure out why my stats were changing (ex: I pick up crit rate up, and I get lower attack speed). Maybe it's about animals? Also fall out of the map while running away from enemies :D Good roguelike concept, it can be applied to longer time frame.

This is a cute game. I don't really get why my character changed so much stats when I only chose one.
It seems the only way to score is just to survive and not to kill enemies so you could just hide and get a highscore. You could have made a system where the more enemies you kill, the more points you get when you finally die, for example.
I think it needs a little bit more polish but other than that it's a good entry.

Keep up the good work :smile:

It's a nice game with good concept. I like how changing animal doesn't just boost stat based on choice, but also temporarily changes every stat based on animal (bird is my favorite), until you change again. Enemies also feel very different from each other. It has some bugs (you can fall from stage, game sometimes crashes on restart), but outside of that it's pretty cool.
