Dogs vs Cats in this ammo saving adventure across time and space. Ballons, Bones and Potatoes. Sucks too.

Move left to suck stuff , up down to aim, space to fire.

Forks kill balloons, Potatoes kill crates and dogs.

It was originally going to fire just forks, but the potato was too fun, so it kinda bent the theme somewhat, but you can't enjoy potato without a fork, and tuna..

Engine is construct 2, graphics in photoshop , music / sfx in flstudio and audition.

Props to Scirra guys!

Added a couple of pictures of the star of the game. :)

Even though it doesn't fit the theme very well, It is probably the most polished and fun game I've played so far.

ahm9916 Dec 2013, 20:44

This game is pretty cool. It was a little glitchy, but it was fun. I also thought that the sucking feature was interesting.

drludos16 Dec 2013, 20:44

Nice Little game! I love the music and the graphics, and the physics-based gameplay is nice. Good job!

Danman991416 Dec 2013, 20:54

Great graphics and game feel. The music is BUMPIN'. Could use more content and has no connection to the theme.

multikorv16 Dec 2013, 22:23

Really cool! Nice mechanics.

acp_ld16 Dec 2013, 22:26

excellent game, the one bullet theme seems to be really common but overall the game is really well done

rezoner16 Dec 2013, 22:54

I didn't liked the gameplay too much - but couldn't stop playing because the music and visuals! Cool physics and very moody prod.

SecondDimension17 Dec 2013, 14:03

I definitely love this sort of pixel art and I definitely love cats. Do I enjoy shooting forks out of tanks? The answer is yes. Yes I do. The suction thing was very cool as well.

AdventureIslands17 Dec 2013, 21:45

Cool music and visuals! Really, really odd game but sort of fun, now if it only was longer and hitting balloons was easier.

Kyatric17 Dec 2013, 22:25

Interesting Monthy Python clash between dogs and cats. The "sucking power" was indeed interesting to use once I understood how it worked.

Funny experience ^^
Congrats for making it, even with the time constraints.

Aaants17 Dec 2013, 23:06

Well, that was awesome...

Jejeboy18 Dec 2013, 05:59

Awesome physics. I like the theme too, pretty funny.

Scifer18 Dec 2013, 18:54

lol, nicely done, although I cannot seem to get hurt by the enemies before they blast themselves on their backs. And I'm not sure what exactly you only have one of, in-keeping with the theme. Still a fun little game!

Brian18 Dec 2013, 22:17

Pretty nice looking, nice audio and good controls, well done sir !

lennaert18 Dec 2013, 22:24

Awesome :D loved the tunes

glovecat18 Dec 2013, 22:30

Good pixelart, good physics, good muuuuusic! amazing game (and... good cats!!)

juaxix18 Dec 2013, 23:00

Hey, my game is designed to be played with a gamepad, i think yours is right but with a lack of gamedesign because you can easily loss the rock and cant continue anymore ,leaving you the only option of restart it...overall, good, i love the idea of the animals inside tanks, that's the true indie spirit ;)

abeing19 Dec 2013, 00:29

everything done perfect! great work!

Nelien19 Dec 2013, 00:42

Haha, that was awesome. The randomness is great, and the fact that the enemies are useless made me laugh my ass off! :P Great work!

JohnnySixauthor19 Dec 2013, 00:44

You have one potato meal. There was supposed to be a bonus once you got the fork stuck in the potato but I couldn't figure out the glitchy in time. :p

thatwhichis19 Dec 2013, 01:22

A winner is me!

Thank you. Thank you for letting me play as the kitty instead of the doggy.

zatyka19 Dec 2013, 02:09

I enjoy how ridiculous it is. I definitely had fun playing it. Great art, awesome music, lots of polish, and pretty cool game mechanic. My only complains are poor connection to theme, and that it was so short. I hope you keep working on it, because I would certainly like to play a few more levels. Overall, really nice job.

finefin19 Dec 2013, 09:08

very nice game. took some moments to get used to the controls but then it was fun! good work!

LatFoued19 Dec 2013, 09:41

The pixel art is very beautiful and so is the concept and gameplay, but i think more instructions on what to do are welcome. Good job

soy_yuma20 Dec 2013, 21:56

LOL this game idea is weird but extremely funny! Grats!

Jgpicatoste21 Dec 2013, 03:13

One of the, if not THE, funniest games in this edition.

OrangeeZ21 Dec 2013, 14:02

Wow, really polished and fun game! I think this one has to be developed into a full game.

Eddy9321 Dec 2013, 16:08

Well done! You did a good job on the graphics and it was fun to play. For me it was a little bit too easy. I found out that you can win this game by holding forward and keep pressing spacebar.
Still a good game :)

Nut21 Dec 2013, 16:13

This was a lot of fun, and the mechanics were surprising and innovative!

It's a bit strange that the vacuum effect happens when moving backwards; this made fetching the fork awkward sometimes.

Almax2721 Dec 2013, 16:20

That was a lot of fun :D especially running away at the beginning so the cat has to catch the tank! hehe, nice work!

Gungnir21 Dec 2013, 16:21

This reminds me of a dream my cat had that made my cat happy and violent. Nice.

Noah Ratcliff22 Dec 2013, 00:37

Very fun and well polished. Loved the audio!

javifugitivo22 Dec 2013, 06:48

Looool! Really funny concept! I had a lot of tunna!

Diptoman22 Dec 2013, 08:28

The game's really polished and well made! The theme didn't fit too much, but still had fun! The menu music should've been nicer to play in the game though...

Xaychru0422 Dec 2013, 09:28

I really had fun playing this game, hilarous mechanics, beautiful art, shame the level is too short... Good job anyway, awesome game! :D

van noctar22 Dec 2013, 12:54

Great graphics and sounds! Gameplay correct :D

archaeometrician22 Dec 2013, 18:28

Nice game :) The graphics are really great. The mechanics / control of the character is smooth. I like it very much. Great work !

doctorscientist22 Dec 2013, 20:01

5/5. I particularly enjoyed the music. It would be nice if the cat made some cat noises. I hope you make more levels it seems like you have only *scratched* the surface.

Piat22 Dec 2013, 22:19

Great art and music, interesting mechanics, very fun.

aeveis24 Dec 2013, 04:34

Nice art, the sucking in mechanic was interesting.

Inso24 Dec 2013, 07:28

Very great games ! No idea how it does fit the theme, but that was very fun nonetheless !

loxo24 Dec 2013, 22:24

Nice game with an interesting gameplay. More levels with varying objectives would be nice.

greytram26 Dec 2013, 11:52

Meoooooow!!! Cats in tanks! This game is fun!
Graphics are cute, soundtrack is entertaining and sound FX are nice. Animation and physics are well integrated.
I'm a bit puzzled though regarding how the game relates to the theme. It's also too easy to complete (what about a few more levels for a post-compo version?).
Well done overall!

GarethIW26 Dec 2013, 13:43

Great spritework and music. Gameplay was enjoyable. Bonus for kitties!

GFM26 Dec 2013, 22:28

It's a fun game with great controls... but you kinda blown your use of the theme...

Great game, nonetheless.

peacegiverman28 Dec 2013, 03:00

Nice! Pretty graphics and pretty polished. It felt a bit too easy since you could retrieve the rock and the fork at any time.

patrickgh33 Jan 2014, 05:01

Moving back to suck up the bullets was neat, I could imagine more complex fighting situations where it could prove interesting.

BradleySmith4 Jan 2014, 20:00

I like the cat photos in your screenshot section. ^_^ This is a very impressive entry for 48 hours too - thought was a jam entry at first! Some of the pixel art detail and animation work is very impressive, rated highly. :)
