You are a mother cat-like creature and your job is to protect your egg! Everybody wants to eat your egg. Squash the roaches before they get hungry and take a bite out of your egg. Distract the beaky bird creautres so they chase you instead of the egg. Your only weapon is your speed.
Use the mouse to move and press LMB to dash.
Good Luck!
PS if you really can't keep it alive and want to finish press "i" for invulnerability cheat.
Good job, simple, rewarding, and fun gameplay! The addition of 'i' honestly was a great idea. Glad you thought of everyone who may want to experience your full game :)
Easily the most fun game I played so far! Felt well balanced (a good challange without beeing too hard). Fun sound effects and a neat gameplay mechanic.
* The color coded bugs are cool - it's neat that you know what they'll do based on their color, and they change color when you scare them off. * The birds turn very quickly, I got chomped just by dashing into theirs backs sometimes. * I like the sound effects: the way birds laugh as they sneak up on the egg and their beak sounds are nice. * It would be nice to be able to predict when the birds were going to dash. Some visual or audio indicator there would help. * The little flip turning animation is great.
Another fresh take on an asteroids game. I like the controls for fighting the bugs. Feels like smearing them out with that delayed cat motion. Distracting the bird on the other hand, I never fully mastered... :smirk:
Refreshing new take, with a twist. I like! :thumbsup:
Funny, the enemies were neat. I liked the juggling you had to do between stomping bugs and making sure the birds weren't aimed at the egg. To improve it, I think you just need a few more levels + enemy types. Nice work.
Nice game which really feels like the makings of a hypercasual game or something. The bird was quite hard to deal with, and I'm not sure if hitting the beak vs its back did much the first time. But it was simple to play and fun because of that, so good job!
I feel like squashing the bugs could turn into some sort of combo system somehow. Like killing one allows you to leap to another nearby or something to rack up some sort of score multiplier. Something to think about!
Everything was fine until I mess with the wrong bird. The sound crack me up. It was very fun, maybe check the controls and make them a bit smoother. I like it so much that I didn't mind getting reminded of the cats movie.
That was very cute :) the enemy amount progression feels smooth and challenging, and the game is just long enough to be fresh. I think you would benefit from some music and some more animations like the cat dash.
The most fun game I've played this Ludum dare yet!!! Missed some music and a cooldown indicator for the dash but otherwise, really fun!!! Kinda cute as well.
As the others have been saying, this is a good cute game. It does a good job ramping up and the invulnerability button is a nice touch for those of us who are really annoyed by the birds but really want to see baby egg-cats. :slight_smile:
Also, I appreciated how the bug color indicated each bug's intent. It was a good way to signal which bugs were a threat and which weren't. Though, even when they weren't being aggressive, I was always suspicious they might turn. (Innocent little green bugs... I'm looking at you.)
The scale of difficulty between the bird (who you could do nothing about but distract) and the other bugs was a bit stark. It may have been fun to have an enemy that you could still squash, but you had to approach from a certain angle, like the bird. That really isn't essential though.
Nice Work
