KITTEN KILLER! by Cryptix

[raw]
made by Cryptix for LD33 (COMPO)
Kitten Killer is a game where you have to kill kittens before the time runs out.

There is a handy tutorial in game to get to grips, then you have 60 seconds!

Watch out though, it's messy business.

Update:
There is a bug with the score being displayed at the end screen, this is a bug that I thought I fixed before submitting. The score is still saved, and will update the highscore if it is higher.

Something to reduce effectiveness of just spamming might be nice.

nice work could use with some kind of risk or something to give it a bit more depth to encourage you to try a few times.

Masterpiece ahahah :D

The last screen places my score on the highscore and leaves the "You killed x Kittens" at 0, though.

I really enjoyed this one! :D

I really like the tutorial. Generally don't see such great ones for 48 hr games.

Funny game, although the gameplay lacks any challenge or danger. The graphics are minimalistic, but decent. Overall a decent entry.

I didn't kill any kittens, but I was still a monster ;(
Lovely art, and the way the game blended into the rest of the webpage was nicely done

You, sir, are the monster.

Clouds interact with screen scrolling in a fun way though :D

Had my cat-loving sister dying to play it, enjoyed it thoroughly. Art style is charming.

Is not functioning here. The game starts but after three commands it stops working.

Yep, that's a pretty good solution to the theme! Fun game too.

Played this game while my cat scratches on the kitchen door. Time to get a point...

Just kidding, nice game. I was a bit confused when I was kicked out of the tutorial and thrown into the menu screen.

Gameplay support and an online scoreboard would make this game more awesome.

Haaaaa, I saw your progress on the IRC chan and i can finally play the final version of your game ;)
It lacks some challenge but it is still fun, just for the pleasure of killing innocent cats :D

Now I really do feel like a monster D:
Nice game! A bit simplistic though, you can just mash Space all the time. Maybe if you could pick different weapons it could give the gameplay more depth. Still, good job!

My best score was 59 :)

I'm a horrible person for liking this game... I enjoyed the game, and I thought it was a funny interpretation of the theme. The only think I didn't like, was the bullets collision in sorta small, its hard to shoot the kittens, and the blood follow on the screen, it doesn't stay with the kittens dead bodies before it disappears.

My record is 46 kittens in 1 minute.

I wish there were more too it. it ended up feeling like a button masher. The blood splatter didn't scroll correctly and at the end, it said I killed 0 cats (but it did record my high score). High marks in themes.... you monster.

The graphics are great, although it took a little while to get used to the bullets being fires from the character's neck.

You Monster! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/mQTSmMf-zUY
