Playing Paddle Quest. It looks fun but it doesn't seem like you can aim with the paddle. The ball just bounces irrespective of the location it hits the paddle. Is that intended?

I cleared the game without using continues. It was enjoyable :) I guess it would become too easy if you can aim.

It looks a bit like a prototype however it is fun to play with score chasing possibilities and it definitely gets challenging.

The new Shkapang!2 Arcade is good fun, thanks for the new version!

Fun challenging game. I can beat all bosses but not all in a row. Getting double hits at times seems a bit unfair.

It's a pen and tablet, not doing anything with it while using the keyboard. For testing I unplugged the tablet which made it work.

It doesn't work for me. I can't move more than a few pixels and when I let go it goes back. Maybe because of my Wacom tablet?

Nice arcade game!

Yeah, now it works well with the stick, thanks :)

That should also prevents a player from starting with a supernova.

It kind of seems harder to go from lvl1 to lvl6 than from lvl6 to the end.

After quite some attempts I've made it to the end starting from lvl1. The final score did not match the recent score listed bottom left. Maybe due to a late bomb explosion.

If the accel/brake is digital A&B is fine. It's mostly the steering with the lstick that's a bit problematic atm.

Nice score chaser and pleasing visuals!

Bug:
If two novas merge just after you die you can gain lives and continue after game over.

It looks pretty nice but I don't understand how I'm supposed to play it with a controller. Left stick does both steering and accel/brake. If I use d-pad and A I'm drifting through the track.

Is the control analog? If so you could use lstick for steering only and the triggers for accel and brake.

It is not intuitive but it makes sense once you choose the primary weapon that drops bombs from the end of your tail. You need to be able to manoeuvre it between the enemies.

Alternatively you could make segments flash when they come in contact with enemies and start flashing red when they need a cool down before you lose the segment.

I noticed most of the games where I made it to the end I scored around 470k, one time I scored 894k but I can't remember what I did differently.

Thanks for this arcade present! Amusing little game, guys.

Thanks! It doesn't work in 1440p but it does work nicely when I change the resolution to 1080p.

I saw this in the Shmup Fest Relay, it's really great and a lot of fun!

No fullscreen, right?

Nice flappy game, very challenging. I like that it has a leaderboard.

The game is fun, I like it. I think it's nice there's an ending although I haven't managed to clear it yet on Thorn difficulty. I did beat the butterfly boss so I assume I've been close. No bugs encountered yet. I plan to purchase it on Steam release.

My high Score is 96,831,034.

Rush mode is a lot of fun!

Great game, challenging and addictive! I got stuck and frustrated twice but then the subsequent sessions I was able to pass those levels like it was nothing.

It works again, thanks :)

Bad update?

I noticed the game was updated through "More information" but the game didn't update through the Itchio launcher. So I tried to uninstall and reinstall but the launcher doesn't see anything to install. Is it just me?

I can understand that.

Cheese name pop ups when you pick them up might be fun (each one in its own style).

I'm still kind of bad at it but I'm getting better, I've now managed to unlock level 3 :)

I noticed when you bubble a cat they can still kill you for a moment.

You could add a time bonus to each round to add a bit more replayability for good players, of course it should be less than a cheese bonus to keep that as priority for scoring.

Btw if you were to make it a paid game at Steam, cat games do well, please add online leaderboards :D

Yeah, I lowered it a bit I think. However it is part of the challenge and atmosphere, I'll get used to it I'm sure.

It's a lovely game (for arcade gamers) and has more depth than I was expecting from the WIP pics/gifs. Well done!

Great arcade fun! I'm having a hard time keeping track of my mouse and the cats because of the busy background. However I am enjoying the challenge and after many restarts I am now able to clear the first level :)

My replay

Nice twin stick shooter! The waves seem a bit unbalanced with some super easy and others pretty challenging. Waves don't seem to get harder over time.

I've now managed to beat the 2nd boss, but I haven't fully figured out smashing yet. How to keep smashing like in the video and gifs?

I like that it supports a one handed analog controller in combination with my Wacom tablet.

Edit: Ah, hold right to keep smashing. 11.5M (recorded, may post later).

This is really great!

Ah, I see. Shame.

I hope someone sees this and does a full revamp of the game because your version shows it has a lot of potential!

Fun little game but on the web version I seem to be occasionally firing a bomb without pressing the bomb button. I didn't have that before with the alpha but maybe I used another controller. The power ups are very hard to spot. Bad power ups are annoying. Auto-fire would be nice.

The game is neat! The update made it more fun but also a bit easier. Before I couldn't get passed the dragons yet and now I cleared it on my first run.

Really enjoyable turn around of the tutorial shmup. It took me quite a few runs to be able to read the enemies, their bullets and the boss attacks, but eventually I got the hang of it :)

Nice, well done! How many stages are there?

Fun little game, I like that enemies that drop and attack score more points. 68300 on my first clear.

The homing bombs are challenging! I recorded some gameplay.

Good to know!

How many levels are there in total? I've managed to reach lvl14 for now. I do kind of miss an auto-fire and a quick restart but I can manage without :)
