I had a lot of fun playing this; I really like all of the art that went into the explosions, lightning, etc and the background music. Great job!
Thanks a lot ! Glad you enjoyed it :)
The background music was funny!
All I have to say is, add some cat puns and cat themed upgrades/attacks
I need to study a bit more on cat jokes, and it will be purrfect !
Cat themed attacks are actually something i'm planning for the future ! To avoid circling in the middle i'll spawn some cats you will have to rescue over time, and I thought about having them jump onto the roof and cast new spells !
It'll be the cat's meow :)
This game is simply beautiful. It’s an exciting and incredibly addictive game, the kind that makes you say: “one more time”
Every aspect of it is really well-crafted: a perfect example of how a simple yet effective design can really hit the mark.
A truly excellent entry for this jam!
Oh my ! Thanks a lot for playing :) Glad you had fun ! I'll keep working on this game for sure.
Cheers !
This game is amazing. I really love the game music, using cat meows as instrument is so creative! Everything was placed perfectly and the controls felt awesome. However, a little small critique is I think the enemies you kill could be something more related to cats, so it feels like the game fits super well together. Overall, the game is amazing, would definitely play again!
Hi there ! Thanks for the feedback :)
What did you have in mind for the enemies ? If I add zombie dogs or something as enemies i'll be crucified by the dog lovers haha
Maybe zombie insects or rats would be cool! Since my friends keeps complaining about their cats bringing dead insects as gift to them XD
Dead rats would be creepy as hell :o That's actually a good idea. Maybe mix them up with the zombies, these could make good additions with their own identity (Swarm/type enemies). Thanks :)
This is fantastic. Most fun game I've played so far. Skill trees are fantastic and are timed well, you don't get bored before the next upgrade. Absolutely stunning work.
Wow thanks a lot for the kind words ! Lots of things to do next but i'm genuinely excited :)
Hi everyone ! I wrote a post today to celebrate getting past a total of 3 MILLION zombie kills on the leaderboards !
https://beardmage.itch.io/anything-but-the-cats/devlog/1493727/3-million-zombies-killed-
It's pretty long, I show a lot of early builds and explain some processes.
But most of all, I really want to thank you all for the support. It really means a lot to me ! Love you guys
I enjoyed this so much. So juicy despite I’m having a hard time on keyboard
Hi there ! Thanks for the feedback :) I need to find a way to improve keyboard controls, but it's really hard without completely changing the controls..
Really fun game, I loved playing it! I enjoyed it so much that I'm probably going to come back and play it after the jam ends! The whole game is polished, and so wacky and amazing!
Thanks a lot for the kind words ! I'll keep working on the game after the jam, I hope you will like what comes next :)
Yay, I'll be sure to check it out then!
This game is a blast! Super fun and satisfying to play
Honestly, I got a bit sad when I realized the art isn't self made, but the assets are perfect for the game
(And the cover art is really good)
Hi there ! Thanks for your feedback !
Yes sadly i'm very bad at 3D Art and i'm alone, so I had to use external ones. Everything else is self made though, including VFX !
3D Assets are definitely going to be replaced after the jam though, if I find a cool 3D artist ! I'm planning to add more levels so there will be things to do :)
Cover art was made by my dear friend L.usie ! She did not have time to participate in the jam but still managed to help me out with the page :)
Wow! Fantastic job on the VFX then!
Had such a fun time playing this, but I couldn't save the cats for long unfortunately. Sadness. But for real, I can see myself getting addicted to this game. It's such a cute concept and executed wonderfully. Just loved it.
Thanks a lot for your feedback ! Cheers :)
This is Puzzlecraft from the stream ;) I did beat the score.... But didnt show up again... Hope you can add it or at least show it to your GF ;) Great game!! <3 Thanks
The art is amazing! Love the text action words and all the explosions! :)
Thank you for playing ! Had a blast on your stream :)
Love this game, the juice and special effects make it VERY satisfying to play. Controls are fun and responsive even on keyboard. Also love the soundtrack. if I would change one thing it's the ghost zombies (they make me think too hard when I just want to turn my brain off!!)
Hey ! Thanks a lot for the feedback ! The ghosts were really hard to balance, They were either invisible or just too easy to see.. I even tried adding a fog effect that would follow them but even that is not good enough :D maybe i'll just make them pass through blocks and keep them visible or something, so they still keep their identity !
Insane game i loved it.
Thanks a lot !
This is crazy polished! It's super fun and addicting, straight up couldn't stop.
Thanks a lot ! Glad you had fun :D
Cool visuals and polish , Keep going !
Thanks ! Will do :D Got lots of ideas for what's next. Cheers :)
cool concept, nice graphics, addictive
what more could u want from a game?
good job man
Thanks a lot ! Next goal is to add some depth to the systems and synergies, with a more polished gameplay loop !
Cheers :)
Fun take on the survivor genre. Love the goofiness overall with audio and effects !
Thanks a lot ! While I like the concept of survivor games, I often find controllers a bit too simplistic and clunky sometimes. I need to find a way to make this more scalable and balanced though, it's hard without damage and hp stats.. Glad you had fun ! Cheers :)
This game is addictive! So fun! I love the different types of "elements" in the upgrades in the lightning and saws and such. It feels really fun picking an archetype and sticking with it for your build.
Thanks a lot ! My favourite combo are chain lightnings who trigger explosions (You can see that from the gifs I put on the page :D)
It may not be as broken as saws but it is soo satisfying !
Cheers :)
Neat game with good art (namely this game's thumbnail and the menu), really fun arcade-style gameplay. Roguelike-elements are a huge plus! Overall, nifty game ~
Thanks a lot ! The thumbnail and the banner is courtesy of the very talented L.usie :) She's very talented, I love her artstyle !
Cheers :)
The game looked great in general, those two are just what I wanted to especially point out. My original wording was a bit off, apologies
Do not apologize ! She did a great job and I wanted to give her a shoutout :) I'm pretty sure her thumbnail helped me a lot getting traction.
Thanks again for the kind words !
