Bob the disgruntled army kitten just wants to be left alone. However, the happy kitten residents of Happy Land won't take "no" for an answer. Bob does the natural thing: starts shooting.
Be sure to listen to the wonderful title song!
Arrow keys move, space fires.
*Keys 1-5 switch weapon. You can't equip a weapon with no ammo. THERE IS NO INGAME GUI (SORRY), YOU MUST PRESS THE BUTTONS AFTER GETTING HEARTS TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WEAPON YOU GOT (again, sorry)*
1 - Rainbow Splitter: infinite ammo, fallback weapon
2 - Rainbow Gatling: rapid-fire
3 - Heartbreaker: sprays hearts everywhere
4 - Octaflower: shoots a flower that splits into eight petals
5 - Smile Boomerang: flies in an arc

IMPORTANT: If you cannot run the game (most likely cause is not having XNA), then you must use the installer. I am really sorry for those of you who don't like installers, but it's really the only way to distribute XNA games.

I was unable to run it:/

(win 7 x64, with generous specs.)

Lots of fun! The diagonal didn't seem to work when going from horizontal to vertical. That installer worked, btw.

Haha, pretty fun. Could have used a few more enemies to switch it up after the fourth wave or so.

Oh, and awesome soundtrack, btw. :P

OMG. I did 11 waves and was angry that there was only one weapon.... lesson learned, read the devs entry first and yes I played it again ^^
anyway, it was fun, as The Jahn said it would be nice with more enemies. +1 for soundtrack :p

I wasn't able to run it either. :(

that's a lot of kittens!

some of the weapons felt a bit weak, but the controls were smooth and it played quite well!

DIE KITTENS DIE KITTENS xD
I want this song to play during the game!
Wave 8 138 killed
Nothing really special, but awesome music ^^
To all not being able to run the game: You need XNA Framework installed...

Well, technically the game is not that bad. The controls are responsible and the game runs smoothly. I would make the bullets bigger and move more slowly, since I couldn't see them at all (no sound effects didn't help). Also, I couldn't change weapons or see the weapon/ammunition display (was there one?) Gratz on finishing the game!
