You herd cats in space. This game is definitely not complete. You use the arrow keys to move, and need to save cats trapped in carbonite by bumping them. Then, you need to bounce them to the green goal without letting them get hit by asteroids. Because they are cats, they will wander around while you do this.
Some of its fun features are:
- no sounds!
- cats and asteroids can spawn stuck in the level!
- all hitboxes are squares!
- there is no animation!
- sometimes you get stuck outside the embedded iframe!
- there is no win or loss condition, so once all the cats are gone it will be just you floating endlessly in the void of space!
Overall, still a good learning experience given that I've never coded a game before now, and I'd definitely like to try this again at some point.
It uses the assets from the Starstruck phaser example - https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser-examples/blob/master/examples/games/starstruck.js
And some sprites from kenney.nl's abstract platformer pack.
