I'm sure those pedestrians deserved it, but the cats?! Haha, loved the perspective view, I definitely had fun with this, and made the top 20! Nice touch with the leaderboard as well. Great job

Creepy but funny, quite in line with the cliché xD
Was a bit hard to get used to gauging how much power the launch would have but I got used to it after a while. Love the fact that you have a leaderboard, really entice the players to do their best.
The sound design is really fun, but I felt bad throwing out those poor animals x)

November Man And PossumCool game! Pretty fun even though I feel a little morally conflicted about this lol

My Cup of TeaThank you for playing :)
I find it a bit odd that some people are seeing a moral issue. It's really tame compared to the likes of call of duty etc.
Most of the childrens cartoons I watched when I was young had cartoon animals trying everything to kill each other.
Its a bit of fun. I can honestly say, not many animals were harmed in the making and playing of this game.
Very fun and replay able game! Great inclusion with the leader boards!

Shop Till You DropEnjoyable and competitive game. Liked the leaderboard as it encouraged me to keep playing! Was super fun once you get the hang of the controls :D

Shop Till You DropA pretty fun arcade-y game! It took me a little bit to figure out that I was charging the cats by holding the button, but once I got there, it was really interesting & challenging experience!
I love the graphics, and the high variety of cat & dog sfx lol

Battle of the Five Man BandsFun game with an interesting style and mechanic. You can really spam it but its better to take your time and try to judge your shots.

Reigning Cats And DogsThis was super fun! The music is an absolute banger and really helps set the mood. Big kudos to your daughter for managing to make the people on the street look like someone deserving of getting hit by a falling cat. That's a delicate balance to strike, and she nailed it. Was she okay with the game centering around the players dropping her beautiful creations on top of her other beautiful creations?

Cliche CompanyThe style reminds me of early flash games. Not a big fan. But the gameplay is fun enough, just needed a few attempts to get a hang of it. Also, additional + for the global Hi-Score table.

Psy-TrainingI was not expecting to be throwing cats and dogs off a roof but here I am. The artwork is very memorable and makes this a fun goofy game. The integration of the leaderboard is also a really nice touch.
