Thanks so much for playtesting for Cat Powered UFO!


To other developers reading this.

If you are serious about making your game as good as possible I highly recommend gamercomposer.

He makes videos of himself playing your game and speaks his moment-to-moment thoughts for you.

This is really useful, it's likely you'll have many oversights in your design that you are completely blind to.

Seeing someone else play your game in real time helps identify these blind spots.

I've sent a friend request on discord!  :)


Thats so creative and fun!

Ok, I have something to confess...

I do already have a game called Cat Powered UFO.

I was interested to see what you would think up without any context, and I must say I'm not disappointed!  xD


If you did want to check out  Cat Powered UFO, don't pay for it, just go for the version with 2024 in the name.  That's the latest version.  (I won't link it because I feel that distracts from the true purpose of your thread)

Thanks so much!  :D  I kinda wish I had asked you before I made the game lol!

Hello!  This sounds really fun!  :D

Name :  Cat Powered UFO

Theme :  Cartoon / Wacky

Setting :  Inter-Dimensional

Play Type :  Single Player

I have a 2D project called Cat Powered UFO, I've made some big changes recently and could use some testing from fresh eyes.

https://thesneak.itch.io/cat-powered-ufo

"Cat-Powered UFO 2024 0.6.zip96 MB" is the version that needs testing.

I understand that a 2D project was not your preference, but if you liked Earthbound or Undertale you might enjoy playing Cat Powered UFO :)


Even if you don't end up testing it, thanks so much for helping devs here on itch!  So many people want their games tested but so few are willing to test others.

I've just sent a discord friend request!

Please roast my graphics. No, seriously I need the feedback!

Cat Powered UFO's update charges on!

And it's not just graphics.  I've been tinkering with gameplay as well.

I'm going to be redoing some of the weaker levels like the car race and water scenes, and I'm making the non-turn-based battles scale with your chosen difficulty setting.


Thanks very much to anyone who can give feedback of any kind!  :)

Cat Powered UFO is getting a makeover. 

What are your thoughts on the changes?

Hey friends! It's been a while since I've updated you on how the penguin game is going, but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on it! Check out these screenshots!! The game is really looking a lot nicer then where it started!

 Also, there is a new version out now for playtesting! Would love to hear your thoughts! 

Play it here!

I've always sucked at making tilesets, so today I bit the bullet and paid $6 for one on itch.io.

It looks a lot better now so it was worth it for sure!

The tileset came with a bunch of other environments, so I'll be throwing them at some stage.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it!


This is the tileset I brought in case your interested.

I've been working on how to introduce the player to each level.

The camera spotlights the entry door and exit.

Also, I've added a text box and little Penguin face!

The idea being that I can have different characters talk to each other during the level.


Hope you've been having fun and thanks for keeping up!

I had considered adding a zoom-in-out function.  Your right tho, it would cause a loss in detail.  Plus pixel art tends to break when viewed at dimensions other then 100% 200% 300% ect.

That said, it's still worth some testing!


Hows Scrapship going by the way?  I haven't kept up with it for a while!

I'll have some more levels for you to try soon!

How's this for a better Splash art?



I had an actual artist make it for me!  

A lot better than the old one in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback!  

Do you think you would use a middle mouse panning function?

There should be more levels to try out coming soon!  :)

Post bug reports here!

Please give me as much details as possible.

Screenshots and error messages are always appreciated where possible!  :)

The Penguin Game is up for Playtesting!

I've been working on some splash art.  

What are your thoughts on this?

NEW GAME!

This time with Penguins...


Bounce em!  Boing em!  Catapult them!

The point is to get penguins from point A to point B, by any means necessary!

I never thought I would make a game inspired by both Lemmings and Pinball, but here we are!

Pretty decent timeline if you ask me!

Unlock new penguins as you causally experiment your way through low-pressure levels.

With no loss condition and no time limits, The Penguin game really is just for a fun time!



My plan is to update this Devlog once a week.

An alpha version should be out sometime next week!



If you're interested in playtesting, don't hesitate to ask!

I Look forward to hearing what you think!



Have fun!  :D

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm probably not going to add much to OP Tank in the near future, it was more of a break project after my last big game "Cat Powered UFO".

I'll keep you in mind for whatever my next game is!  :)

(1 edit)

Got a new YouTube video out, it's about side projects!

This game (OP Tank) was indeed a side project!


Stay tuned for some graphical updates to OP Tank!

Make sure to tell me how you go!

indeed!  Working on keyboard and mouse setup.



Hey there friends!

I've just released a beta for OP Tank.
An arcade-style twin-stick shooter where you become ridiculously overpowered as the game progresses!   Beer!

Anyways..  I'd really appreciate any feedback that you could give me.

Here is the itch.io page
https://thesneak.itch.io/o-p-tank

Guess what! 

THE GAME IS OUT!

(well in beta anyways)

Check it out here!

https://thesneak.itch.io/o-p-tank

Here is a video showing some gameplay!


If you have any feedback or find any bugs, please do tell!  :)

After the two-year-long development of Cat Powered UFO, I have decided to have a change of pace.

So introducing..  a tank game..  with no name (yet).


I plan on giving this game more of an arcade feel, no story or lore or characters, just a shootin' drivin' splodin' good time!

Having randomly generated levels and upgrades chosen at random means that no two runs of the game will be the same.


The upgrades are all extremely overpowered, but don't be fooled!  The game gets more ridiculous as the stages progress!  You need all the help you can get!  xD


I intend for this to be a small "break" project, with only a few months of development.  There should be a playable demo up on Itch.io soon, so hold onto your butts!



If you haven't tried my Steam game "Cat Powered UFO" yet, consider giving the free version on itch.io a try!

https://thesneak.itch.io/cat-powered-ufo

This is an interesting topic!  

Gives some good insight into how different types of games work on itch.

It seems like browser playable is the way to go for views, but not so much for donations.

Anyway here is my stats.


Iv'e been on Itch for about 2 years

Followers = 71

Downloads = 430

Views = 2971

Payments = 29

Gross Rev = $138

Most of this comes from my latest game "Cat Powered UFO"

Here is my profile

I'd love to see you stream Cat Powered UFO!  :D

It's been 2 whole years in the making, but Cat Powered UFo is finally here!  :D

And even tho the game is on sale on steam atm, I wanted to show the itch.io community some love.

So It's here as well!  You can get it for just $2, or try the demo FOR FREE!

Note - 

If you save your game in the Demo Version, you can use the same save file in the Full Version.  No need to start again!  Why not try it out! :)

Cat Powered UFO is a comedy RPG inspired by the old-school Super Nintendo game Earthbound.

The design philosophy was to combine the best parts of old school games like Zelda-style puzzles and overworld battles, as well as turn-based combat, and leave out the grinding and other boring bits!

Much like Mario Odyssey, Cat Powered UFO allows you to move on to new areas and challenges without finishing absolutely everything possible in your current area.


Battles revolve around minigames, which are unique to each enemy.

Combat is easy to learn, but offers surprising depth to players who wish to find synergies of "Illegal bonuses".

You can combine these "Illegal bonuses" to break the combat system!

And essentially customize your battle experience to your liking.


There is even a "HARDCORE MODE" for the player who likes their games to kick them in the scrotum.

The whole game is designed to be a short and sweet experience, taking players somewhere between 3-5 hours to reach the standard ending.

However, there is also a "True ending" for those that want to go above and beyond!


I recommend using an Xbox controller for the best experience.  However, a keyboard also works perfectly well.

If you are looking for a whacky and light-hearted experience to fill your day, I humbly suggest you give Cat Powered UFO a try!

And with that, I leave you with a poem.


A poem, for you!  My potential player!

Be yourself!  As you always are!

My next request, is a bit out far!

You're an alien! 

AN ALIEN?

You even have an Alien Wife!

Livin' that sweet Alien Life!

What more could you want?

Ok, let's say shes pregnant!

But no good thing can last for long!

THE SPACE DEVIL has come along!

He kidnaps your wife!

Causing you strife!

And so your adventure begins...

Your means of travel, powered by cats!

You look around, and how about that!

There isn't a cat to be seen or heard!

The solution, you know to be absurd...

To venture into a world you hate!

Full of mischief, I'll tell you mate!

This place is crazy!

Lost their minds!

No doubt you'll do the same in kind!

Strap yourself in!

Let us begin!

Embrace the madness thats within!

You'll laugh, you'll cry. 

You'll probably die!

And yeet your keyboard to the sky!

But won't regret a dollar spent!

Cat Powered UFO!

Worth every cent!

Could you do a review of Cat Powered UFO?  I'd love to hear what you think!

https://thesneak.itch.io/cat-powered-ufo

I'm thinking of making another indie dev feedback omnibus video, would you guys like me to play your games for you?

First of all.  Thanks for playing!  👽

Secondly.  The version up on itch.io is a little out dated.  I have the game coming soon on Steam!!


As for your bug, do you have the purple beam attack at this point?  In the old versions you could damage boost your way up to the snake boss without unlocking a way to kill him.  I have made this impossible in the newest version.


I'll get you a steam key and you play the most up to date version if you like?  I'd be more than happy to hear your feedback!!💪

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.  I feel you mate, it's very tough for the little guys out there atm.

It helps to think of yourself as an artist.  The chance of being noticed and making a living off our work is very slim, but that's not always to say your bad at what you do.

 Could you try my game Cat Powered UFO?

I'd love to hear some feedback!
