Removed my name for privacy. Username is still there, though! :thumbsup:

Just found a cheat-sheet for how to use this mysterious "Markdown" for Ludum Dare text formatting. This page now looks *way* better. Here it is for if anybody else was a bit lost: https://guides.github.com/pdfs/markdown-cheatsheet-online.pdf

Me

This is my game made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 43.

It's basically my first game ever :D

Theme: Sacrifices must be made

Story

One day, they came...

Not for our resources,

not for our planet,

but for our cats.

You must save as many cats as possible before you are overrun.

Along the way, there may be casualties. But, hey. Sometimes, Catrifices must be made.

How to play

Walk with "WASD" or the arrow keys

Stand on a Cat and don't move to pick it up

Stand in the "Drop Off" area to drop off a load of Cats

Drop off 3 or more Cats in one load to get a Cat Bomb (Not a real cat :P

Touch an item to pick it up

Left click the mouse to throw a Cat Bomb

Right click the mouse to throw a Catrifice (You monster.

Try not to touch the aliens!

Hey! Did you actually read this far? Thanks for that! :D
I hope you enjoy my game!

Some things I'm planning on changing

Alot of this stuff is thanks to you guys in the comments. Thanks a ton!
* Overall pace should be faster.
* Player should be faster.
* Player's horizontal movement should be faster.
* A title on the main menu would be nice :P
* The drop-off is not obvious from first spawning. Camera pan or spawning there would help.
* Enemy spawners were meant not to fit in (aliens), and I succeeded. Which makes it confusing. Oops.
* In-game instructions and maybe a "First time playing? Watch this!"
* Changing the end screen text for certain amounts saved (e.g. "You saved 0. Nice job?")
* Regaining health via 4 in 1 trip?
* Sprint with regaining per delivered cat?
* Actual score
* Camera zoom and effects per amount of health
* More feedback for actions. (Explosions, pick up, throw, hurt, ect.)
* Make the Catrifice more enticing by boosting it's power (In some way)
