faust.jpgYou play as Faust, an alleycat with 9 lives. You must cross the road to get to food (thrown by the open windows), and each time you die, the devil offers to buy your souls in exchange for powerups.

Controls: WSAD/arrow keys, Z, X, C

The game is quite hasted and unfinished, please forgive these limitations:
* No main menu
* UI is incomplete
* powerups are placeholders
* shop mechanic is quite basic
* no sounds other than music

Music: "Catnip" by George Baltatzis (made during the jam)

Loving the graphics, and the cat is so cute!
The powerups are way too OP though, at least the transform one

I like the simple look of the game, could make the food spawns more difficult to reach forcing you more on the road. Maybe award more lives for surviving longer.

The transformation ball is a little too OP, but other than that a pretty fun minigame.

I like the aesthetic you were going for with the game! Obviously the game's a bit "rough around the edges" but that's pretty common with Ludum Dare entries. :)

The graphics and music are really cute! The gameplay was a bit basic and easy though and I ended up dying intentionally to see what would happen. The powerups are a lot of fun.

Nice models. I love that cute cat! The environment and the cars look great.

Good models and animation. It looks like the camera and cat movement might be running on different update methods, noticed a bit of flickering.

@sylvie thanks! The gameplay sure is easy at this point, didn't have time to balance it.

@kharibidus You may be right, I see it now too, will look into it. Thank you!

I like some of what is going on here but I couldn't ever figure out what I was suppose to be doing aside from eating fish. Did I miss something?

KITTYCAT!!!!!!!
such a cute game omg! Not gonna lie, the graphics made me play it :D Like the idea, and did I say super adoreable kittycat? I like the controls and overall atmosphere/feel, I feel like there is no objective though.
it would be AWESOME if you made levels where the pbjective is to find all fishes and there are multiple obstacles etc :) and if you found every fish, you come to the next lvl etc.
I mean I know this is a gamejam, and time is though but I think you should really continue to work on it, that has potential :) maybe some more enemies and traps etc?
I like puzzle games with super minimalistic stuff and beautiful graphics/atmosphere and no UI, like in limbo or inside :)

Very cut, and the physics cars are very fun to wreck. Who knew fireball kitty's could do so much damage.

Loved the graphic design of the game and the gameplay is a good idea but maybe a bit too easy. Even without powerups, there were plenty of spaces between cars for it to not be all that difficult. Either way, I really dig this entry!! Nice job.

I love cats! Really appreciate the details of this game! The theme is also spot on! One of the best games so far!

You could try out our game, as there are no cats but cows and nearly as cute as your cats :) :)

I love the look and the music, the gameplay obviously needs more spice, the powerups are too strong :)

@angiemon glad you like cats as much as I do :smile: the game definitely needs more content, I intend to work on it and I will consider your suggestions for it!

@t-bo @allas @kurt-roembke thank you for your suggestions! Will certainly work on balancing the game and adding better powerups!

@schitzn will do, I always check out the games of people who comment!
