I didn't find much inspiration in the Evolution theme, so after wasting a few hours procrastinating over what to make I decided to try my hand at the 1000 Kittens theme instead!
I'm going to claim my tenuous link to Evolution is that you play a highly evolved problem solving cat that must rescue all the lesser evolved problem solving kittens! ;)
Challenging game with a throwback to the likes of difficulty of VVVVVV at times.
Graphics were nice and consistent and the audio compliment the overall retro and simplistic style well.
Gameplay mechanics were balanced out well and the cats and player cat behaved well in my favor when precision was needed at certain areas that were challenging.
WOW that is one awesome game! By far my favorite until now. Getting all the kittens is hard but doable =) I love the feeling and handling. Superb graphics. Lovely sounds. Thanks, I enjoyed this.
With a DX9 version that (fortunately) works for me, I was able to play this. There were a few minor rendering glitches but I'd put that down to it being the DX9 version.
Anyway, to the point: Gameplay wise this was really fun- a simple platformer done very well, and balanced- not too difficult either. The difficulty curve took a MASSIVE spike just before the end but that's fine haha. Gameplay wise all I can say is its too short... but that is understandable in the time.
This is great! A bit short, and there's a lot of room for adding variety on top of your 4 or so graphics, but what you do have is good, and the physics are smooth. I got all 60 cats. I liked the trail behind you.
Got up to 26 and gave up. The pixelkittens are lovely, more soundeffects would have been nice and some help. It took a while until I figured out I could do double and walljumps. Good game!
Very fun, but no theme connection (as you said). Some of those spike pits can be navigated because you stand on corners safely! It's the only way I got through.
I'll try this again later, really enjoying it, I like a hard game, and the platforming really reminded me of cave story, which I love. Perfectly simple graphics too.
Totally off-theme but who cares! The difficulty DOES spike pretty hard at the wall climb, and just after, but you really nailed that addictive instant-respawn meat boy / vvvvvv gameplay. The bupbupbupbupbupbup sound of the cats got a bit grating. I didn't get to the end, but damn I wanted to. Good Job!
