Your cranky neighbor has been making life hard on you for years. He's always complaining and spying on the neighborhood. He'll call the cops if you make him angry, and that's hardly difficult. Its time get your revenge by putting as many cats on his lawn as you can. How many cats is too many cats? We'll find out Mr. Grouch!
Too Many Cats was created for Ludum Dare 40. Contributors include ramza from BrainJar, Brandon Goins of Windy Hill, and Gerald Burke.
I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, the game felt kind of pointless. But I actually really liked that it felt that way. I got to the end without being arrested, hooray! The art style was super cute but I think you should have put more grass as I could see the blue background at the edges and a lot of cats were wondering around in the abyss. Great work!
the game was very enjoyable. took me a little bit to realize that his dialogue was based on the goal in the upper left. though i wasnt clear how i was losing cats till i saw a dog run by. my only question is do you lose cats only by the dogs or are they able to disappear out of the scene?
lol, I love this. Hearing the blaring sirens over hundreds of cats meowing, while an angry old man yells at me. "I'll have you arrested for making so many cats" made me laugh out loud. It's a super simple game but I had a big smile the whole time at the sheer absurdity of it. Good work.
I liked the idea of it and found it fairly enjoyable to play. Maybe some more features would help. If it was anything like my game (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/life-is-a-balance), you had planned to add things but ran out of time.
Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow times a thousand
The meowing got pretty annoying after a while but the game was still funny. There wasn’t much of a point to it, but regardless I found it pretty interesting. Good job!
That was funny even though kind of pointless. I was curious as to what would happen when the cops came but I was disappointed they never actually showed up! It was still funny though overall!! Also, the dogs and their magical touch-disappear power was funny! haha I enjoyed it. Good job guys!
I can answer the question. My cat was OK with the first 20. Then she got off from the sofa an required to sit in my lap to be sure that everything was fine and no cat-astrophy was upon her. I enjoyed the game, and she seemed to be fine with it too in the end. Nice humor and weird way to bully your neighbour.
Our team does a weekly indie gamedev podcast called Nice Games Club, and we just did a Let's Play episode where we played thirty-six (!!) Ludum Dare 40 games, including yours (which we thought was silly in all the right ways)!
Great work!
