The art style was cool, the platforming was solid, and the cat fighting system was interesting, but the game was WAY too short. Also the background music was very repetitive.
GUYS PROTIP the key to winning encounters is to hold up and wait for cats to come to you. Guaranteed success.
Great package overall! A fighting mechanic like this is difficult to get just right for everyone; I feel that for me (I'm not a twitch player), it's hard to time the jumps just right so that I'm on top of jumping white cats. With a bit of tweaking (perhaps some hangtime in air?), I can see players really getting into mastering the mechanic.
A pretty fun game! Good job getting a music loop done in time, added to the atmosphere. Not so sure about how it connects with the theme, and the cats' hitboxes are quite a bit bigger than the sprites, leading to a couple of frustrating deaths. Overall a fun game though :)
Thanks a lot for the comments everybody! Sadly I have a mac so I couldn't play all of your games :C I really appreciate all the feedback, it's been great for me. I've never made a game before but from now on I wont miss a LD.
