Great little game! It looks cool in monochrome and plays well too. It's a nice use of the theme to have a cat sacrificing its 9 lives! Also, great to see TIC-80 submissions (I'm a fan of TIC-80 myself!). Well done!

A real cool game. The idea is great and the graphics aswell.

Some sound and music would be polish this game a lot.

Great Job keep doing.

I've fallen in love with your idea when I heard you announcing it for a very first time. Lovely concept for a gameplay and cool graphics as well, though I do agree that sound could make it better. I wonder what could it sound like, 8-bit jazz? Is that even possible...
Anyway, keep it up.

Great LD game with really nice graphics! Love the black and white feel. Maybe opt out of the sounds though if you don't add any sounds.

@alleskapaul yes, thank you, I've forgotten to opt out voting for audio.

@zhanna thank you! It's all thanks to https://vk.com/tmokienko. We'll think about adding some music later :)

Cool idea and great execution.

You never have enough dead bodies to build huge pyramid though!

Keep up the good work!

The idea is totally macabre, but it implements this LD'S theme just perfectly!
Atmosphere and graphics are very fitting.
Only thing missing is a nice jazz tune playing in the background.

Some sounds would have been nice. Seemed very difficult, at least to me. Was hard to maneuver around the gun dogs. Still I loved the aesthetic and was a nice take on the theme.
