I think the concept, though out of the box, is funny enough to work. I think however that you not kicking fast enough makes the game super difficult, since you can't properly time your kicks and also make them stong/weak at the same time.

Hillarious idea and art. The kicking mechanic is kinda wonky so it's hard to aim with the cats or even hit them at all. Unlucky that makes it pretty much unplayable. But idea and humor is great even though i really like cats.

The timing is a little bit tricky for me, but it is a fun little game!

Simple mechanic but well combined with the theme, creating a sense of humor.The game can be more interesting if the player can do more things then just kicking the cat.However, well-done!

That's a cool minigame, with a pretty funny concept, but it's really hard ! I never got to kill the bunnies.
I think there too many things to do at once : handle the timing of the kick while deciding of the force of the throw is really hard, especially as there is no room for error, you lose when any enemy touches you. Making the first enemies easier to hit would give more time for the player to focus on the timing without having to worry too much about precision.

I enjoyed the games, the 2nd time was much better, there is a learning curve to predict how much will the cat fly and how soon or late to press the space bar.

I personally love cats but still think this game is really fun, I agree with @jrevel sometimes the game gets too overwhelming just with how much you have to do to hit an enemy.

Silly and fun! I played this much longer than I had any right to. I'm curious how many enemies there actually are! Its deceptively challenging to get the arcs right. All my years of Worms came in handy here. When I got game over the first time I audibly laughed out loud. Great work!

Funny, weird and really difficult. Well done.

Very funny! I'd have liked the kick to be more responsive, or for the cats to fall quicker. I was so focused on not missing the timing that it was hard to manage the distance or pay as much attention to the enemies. A successful kick was super satisfying when I got it right, though!

I felt my cat silently judging me the whole time :grimacing:
