Cool game ! Too bad the player is a little bit too slow but the mood is here !
The musics are funky, the gameplay loop is straitforward :D

Interesting, I really like the graphics and there are quite a few environments. It's a bit of a shame that the gameplay is rather repetitive.

Really enjoyed the vibe of this game! The combat feels satisfying, and the different areas keep things interesting. The music is a nice touch too. Could use a bit more variety in the gameplay, but still a fun experience!

Nice work! Really fun core loop and a clever take on the theme. Had a great time playing through it!
Left full scores across the board. Greetings from the Meow Bomb team! If you want to test our game, feel free to try my alternative updated build with quality-of-life fixes: https://naiper.itch.io/meow-bomb-by-naiper

Keep up the great work!

This game reminded me a lot of Gauntlet Legends for the N64, and really brought me back! I also loved the way that you and all of the aliens strutted around each locale, there was just a ton of charm in that walk cycle :)

My only real critique is that the moment-to-moment gameplay could feel slow when exploring the world map or looking for a cassette after clearing all of the aliens in each level. I felt like I was mostly wandering aimlessly in both cases, hoping to stumble upon the next piece of fun gameplay.

Overall though, well done! I had fun jamming out to the various cassettes, and I wish I could have listened to the tracks for longer!

Awesome game! I liked it. At the beginning, there were few batteries, but by the end, there were some left over. But the game is cool

Cool style, and the combat feels great! Punching aliens is satisfying, and the funky music fits perfectly.
