Ranked from 39 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
Trees have been genetically modified to grow grenades, and cat girls are being cloned to harvest them. Nothing can go wrong. What could go wrong?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I didn't write the code used for the pointer ui showing where the grenades are, the code for deforming the terrain, and the character controller. (I did modify these to my needs though.) The rest of the code is my own.

The tree is the only 3D model not made from scratch.

The sound effects and music are from assets, except the voice acting which was me.

How many people worked on the game?

This game was cool and fun! The voice acting was great and I love the concept very on theme! In addition who does not want to be a cat girl with a gun that's just great. Good job!!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! And of course everybody wants to be a cat girl with a gun! That's just life goals!

Catching a grenade was bit hard but satisfying!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! It is meant to be tricky, but I do wonder if I made it toooo hard! Will have to come back to it after the jam!

Got time for sound credits perchance?

Developer(+1)

Think I've got all the additional credits in the description now :) 
If it's just the sound credits you want, these were the sound effects.

Unexpectedly it was the most fun game I've seen here for now! 

Developer

Wow! That's high praise! Thank you so much!

Super creative and funny concept, the grenade catching was difficult but understandably so and very goofy. Good work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! They're quite tricky to catch aren't they? My girlfriend accuses me of making my games too hard so maybe I could make it a bit more forgiving!

This one was incredible. Great work. Definitely one of my favorites so far. Great combo of goofy, funny, functional, and fun. 

Developer(+1)

That IS a great combo! Thanks so much for playing and glad you enjoyed!

I love the goofiness of this game (the slowed time as you rush to hold the grenades + fumbling as you try to catch them between your hands). Very creative, nice work!

Developer

Thank you ^_^ The concept was just the first thing that came to my head from the theme and I just rolled with it!

Submitted(+1)

I suck at this game. It is so fun! I’ve laughed a lot even though I have blown myself up several times.

Thank you for making such funny piece. Looking forward to what could come next.

Developer

Thank you for playing and glad you had fun ^_^

This has the goofiest concept i've seen so far, and i adore it.
The game itself is awesome, especially the way the grenades absolutely OBLITERATE everything the come into contact with. Also you are a very good voice actor!
(The music in the background just adds to the absurdity of the whole thing, great pick)  

Developer(+1)

I had a lot of fun with it haha. Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing and rating!

Developer

Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed it!
