Interesting magic cat game.
Controls were a bit weird at first, then I realized that you couldn't stop moving kinda like snake.
I feel like the hit boxes for the damaging boxes were a bit to big cause just brushing past them dealt damage, also I think you should make the boxes more threatening so players know they do damage (like making the box a mimic or something).
Good job!
Like the others said, the text is hard to read, some bug with the hitbox and its just a game who we gets cats
Text was hard to read but other than that it's a great game!
Cats everywhere, cute little cats. A very charming, authentic game with an interesting setting! I also liked the character movement it's unusual but pleasant. It was interesting to play this game :)
Thank youu
The hitbox of the things that harm you didn't work properly sometimes, and i felt like there was no real threat. The music was great and the movement was really good!
Thank you! Yeah maybe i should make the hitbox of player a little smaller. I'll take notes.
Wowww what a vibe, my main problem is that the art's really inconsistent, but other than that the music and stuff just felt magical in a way if that makes sense lmao. Very smooth transitions between rooms as well.
Thank you! Yeah i didnt do any of art and all of them just belong to random assets so even though the assets are good they are not suitable to each other.
I don't get it. I really tried, gave it a second chance after a while. The second time was incredibly boring too. Walking around in a not very well technically realised game, collecting cats that give you nothing. Collecting them is absolutely no fun at all, the upgrades are useless too.
Maybe I missed something, some detail to make the game interesting, but I can't bring myself to look for it. Maybe there is a video with gameplay where something opens up?
The only nice thing here is the music in the background, but it doesn't change the order of things.
Thank you for the feedback! It's actually fine that the game might not make sense for now, i actually couldn't get to the point where i aimed to. I was only able to implement the base system with some bugs for now. After the jam ends i'm planning to make the upgrade system in a random and scalable way, and also add some boss fights every 5th floor and then, with some really simple enemies spawning on every room. So even though i uploaded CatSpree as an 'Alpha' , it's still so far from being in alpha version. Hope you'll be looking forward to the updates after jam!
Maybe I would. I love cats)
while the text is hard to read and sometimes the camera wouldn't transition it's really cool! like to imagine the main character can't stop because they see so many cats that want to be kidnapped by them lol
Thanks! I didn't encounter the camera transition bug i'll look into it. Text font is something that's bothering a lot of ppl so i'll change that for sure.
It's very fun, easy to play and I loved the soundtrack. Great game.
Very fun game and pleasing aesthetics! Though the font really made the text awkward to read.
Thanks! yeah a lot of ppl said the font is weird so ill change it after the jam.
Kitty cat cat!!!!!!!!! Loved how you pulled off the cute yet kinda creepy feel to the game, it only takes a couple of minutes to understand the game, and it's really fun after that. But, the font was really difficult to read. I think the gameplay is very nice overall, with you just scavenging to find all the little kittens. It kinda reminds me of korok hunting in zelda BOTW and TOTK. Really nice game you pulled off here!
Thank youuu! :)
Hello!!!
First of all, congrats on this work! I really loved the concept and the atmosphere you tried to create. The gameplay is easy to understand, and I found myself genuinely enjoying collecting all those little cats. I also really liked the FX when picking up the cats, it makes the game feel even better. For me, your game fits the theme 100%!
As for improvements, I’d suggest changing the font for the choices, as I found it a bit difficult to read.
Thank youu, I'll keep in mind your feedback for further improvements.
Wow! Loved the atmosphere you achieved here! Was four catnips the max?
Yes four catnips are max after that the orbiting speed of catnips increase constantly as long as you get more upgrades. I'm hoping to find a suitable asset for catnip visuals... Thanks!
Beautiful soundrack and cute cats!
Nice cat game!
A few suggestions for improvements would be to make the text on the upgrades a little easier to read and to make the camera shift to the next room faster (I kept running into obstacles I couldn’t see).
Aligns well with the theme!
Thank you for the feedback! I'll see what i can do for those issues and hopefully update it after jam ends.
This is really a great idea, and I like the sounds.
The only thing is, I wanted to play in the browser, not download the game. But this downside isn't really related to the game itself
Thanks! I'm not sure if i can upload a web version of the game after submitting but i'll try it
Hi, this is a fun game, the idea is good :)
I've just found out that when I retry the player character don't respawn it's a bit annoying to restart the game each time..
Thanks! In the floor 0 if you die that bug happens but as long as you take at least 1 portal that shouldn't happen. I'm working on fixing the bug.
appart for that it’s a good game :)
It's fun and simple to play, it could be even better with a little more variety of game mechanics. But I was a little scared by the background music.
A simple yet enjoyable adventure game that aligns well with the theme. The gameplay is straightforward, making it accessible, but adding more unique mechanics or challenges could enhance the experience.
