What do cats love? Love. They also prefer it on their own terms.

When is it not on their own terms? When you have a house full of children wanting to squeeze you, and hold you, and love you!

In Here, Kitty, you are a lovelorn cat that just wants what you want!

Avoid the crazed children and find the adults for a moment of protection. But don't linger too long! The adults have things to do, too. They'll only protect you for a few seconds and then you're back on the run!

If the kids get you, you'll get loved on. If you get too much love, it's game over so watch your hearts!

Controls: Arrow keys, WASD, or game controller.

Fun game you got here. The sound clip for the child is perfect for the game, and terrifying at the same time.

It's fun to play! I like the custom banner for the game. I found a way to hide behind the furniture so that I wouldn't lose... But ran back into the open because it's more fun :D The music fits perfectly.

This was entertaining and had a fun feel to it. Having some sort of score counter would have gone a long way, but then you'd have needed to fix the furniture hiding a bit more :D Good job

Love it! the voice acting of the kids was great!

This really tickled me! I think for a straight forward idea, it's really well executed! Great work on sound effects.

I love the audio, really makes it feel polished. Great reimagining of the zombie horde genre and really gave it a cute overhaul.

Very fun game to play. Art was bright and appealing. Voice work was excellent. Very nice!

This is great, maybe a secondary goal, like putting a food/water dish in this game for extra challenge that the kitty has to visit every now and again? :D

I like how the hearts system is opposite to the traditional health system — gaining instead of losing hearts and losing at a full bar.

It's not very hard to hide from the children, would have been nice if there was some pathfinding implemented.

The voice acting is really good! I love the simple gameplay and the art style. Maybe find a way to punish the player when he stands still for to long?

The sound effects were a great addition, and I loved how creepy it was getting chased by all those kids who just want to be your friend! :D The art-style worked really well for the game. Great Job, Doc!

The voice overs were so good! I actually found a spot in the living room that didnt let any kids near me and i proceeded to win.

This take on the theme was a really nice and fresh version of it. Well done!

Great game.. very nice audio.. loved it.. You managed to do a LOT in the time given.. seriously cool!

jasperarmstrong8 Dec 2017, 22:05

Cool idea for a game. I'm sure my cat would relate to this. The audio was very nice, the art was cute, and the game overall was a lot of fun. There's one part of the audio where you tell that it was looping. Also, it seems the kids just walk directly towards you, so you can get behind an obstacle and the kids will never reach you, so some proper pathing would be nice. Overall very good!

A simple game, with some great humor.

It's exactly like working at the kindergarten.

Nive voice acting by the way!

Love the children's voices! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26D5qtoYgoQ
