About
You are a cat. Born in a world full of cats.
These cats are a bit different from normal cats.
All of them have only one of everything.
One eye. One leg. One arm. One lung. One ear. One foot.
But you are different.
You have two.
As you can imagine, lots of people are jealous.
Lots of people HATE you just for being different.
In addition to this, you have cake.
And they don't have cake.
So they decided to steal your cake.
You must fight using your trusty cat beam to retrieve each of your 6 pieces of cake back from the one thinged monsters!
Controls
WASD or Arrow Keys to move
Mouse move to aim your cat beam
Mouse click and hold to fire it
The enemy cats will drop health, beam charge, and cake!
Notes
For my first ever game beyond the basic pong and tetris, I'm really happy with this! Especially since I made it in my first LD. The gameplay is very unoriginal, but I like the art, and the aim of the game has a certain aspect of cuteness. It has almost nothing to do with the theme though :P
This has been a very fun and inspiring experience which I hope to participate in more of. I have a multitude of game ideas I want to make now, and the much needed motivation.
Was this game worth the hours I put in to write it? Probably not. But this feeling I have probably isn't the game's fault - it was my lack of creative thinking and planning to see whether my original idea was going to turn out well. If I learned anything from this, it's that complete planning and rapid prototyping are so important when making a game. The experience and motivation gained from the competition was totally worth it though.
Best of luck to everyone in the results, and for the remaining 4 hours of the compo and 28 hours for the jam!
The sunrise outside my window is nice. I should go to sleep.
