This is a really fun game, I think you got a strong foundation going on, just need a little more variations. 

I think it will be fun if players cant go through each other, and keep bumping instead, just a suggestion. That way, the two players need to coordinate their movement more.

Regardless great job mate, keep improving the game!

I liked the idea of space invaders together. The game art was cool and I enjoyed playing it. But the sound design was not good, the effects weren't either and the music got repetitive quite soon and took much fun away from the game. Some of the sounds were even displeasing to the ear.  I also noticed that there wasn't any visual feedback for damaging or getting hit. I hope my video and comments help you. Thanks!

I really like the art style for the game and I love the idea of being able to shoot when your near each other.  Keep up the good work :D

Hi man i really liked the concept of the game with having to stay together so you can shoot. But there are some things that i didnt enjoy. 


1. After 30k points or so the game starts to lag massivly.

2. In my opinion the music doesnt fit the game that much.

3. The game seems to be way to easy. You can just not move and spam the shoot button. I would recommend to reduce the max health or to remove the healing after every wave

4. The game gets repetitive after some time.

Simple but fun game! only small suggesion would be to make colours of cats a bit more different, sometimes i was mixing them

Submitted

I got nothing to say aside that it's a fun game. The mechanic is simple enough to understand. I just hope for single player mode that implement the theme (maybe it control both character at the same time).

Fun game! I feel like it fell into the issue that most of the separate WASD and Arrow controls games have fallen into where I can't distinguish which character has what controls and so I just end up moving them together at exactly the same time. The shooting ghost could have also been a bit more different from the second tier ghost visually.


Good job!

I love the mechanic of controlling the two cats to fire lasers together, fits the theme well and can be made into multiplayer if expanded upon. I wish the enemies shot back. Good work!

HI!

This is a nice starting point for a much more complex and extensive game! SO congrats! no so many peaople can sell the idea like this, you have in your hands a game full of potential!

As many comments already said, the game is simple, yes, BUT! you can work with it! The only thing you're lacking is difficulty, make the player feel challenged! how? well, you can play with the map, maybe make it bigger, so the enemies are running around (escaping from you so its harder to get them!), maybe the two players have different tasks, like one needs to defeat all blue ghosts and the other only red ghosts, and if they hit ghosts they are not supposed to, their health decreases! 

There are so many ways to frustrate and challenge your players lmao believe me, just find the perfect solution for the objective of your game! 

Keep making games cuz I see a lot of potential and talent here! Well done :D

Aww this game is so cute! The game is a bit too easy I think though? In the end I just stood still in the middle and kept hitting up (also btw the browser window kept moving up when i mashed up for some reason lol). I think the difficulty could be better and also while the music is pretty cute, hearing the same loop every 5 seconds got a bit annoying after a while :(

But in the end this game is still adorable <3

Very cute game, and it works well mechanically. From a game design perspective, there is no interesting consequenses of having two characters instead of one though. All they really do is stand on top of each other and shoot. Perhaps some enemies going away from the swarm could force the characters away from eachother, or giving the characters unique abilities to encourage distribution of tasks, and therefore more coordination and teamwork.

Submitted

Nice game but it felt too easy or maybe i cheated lol. I just need to make them stand together in the middle and just spam shoot. I reached 10K points and then stopped. Maybe some mechanic to limit the player somehow but this was the best game I have played so far. Keep up the good work.

Submitted

Like the simple design, good job, looking forward for what comes next for the game! :)

Submitted

I always loved space invader so, how i couldn't love this one? Very nice idea that you have to stay together in order to defeat the enemies! The lvl progression was a bit slow but overall very enjoyable. I've played at least 30mins on yr game. Good job Tasfiqul :)

Submitted

Simple but fun, maybe the difficult needs to ramp up faster to increase the challenge. Good entry.

Submitted

cute!

wow. good job!

:)

I like the UI menu, and the idea is interesting. Also sound of the shooting is cool.

Cool Idea for a coop game. Players really need to coordinate. I also love the style of the characters.
