During the first few levels, I was thinking to myself &quot;this would be awesome with more kittens&quot;, then next thing I know I'm controlling three.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One thing that I felt it needed was being able to &quot;laser focus&quot; some enemies with the laser. In many situations, I'd have a spider or rat eating the food, I'd lead my kittens there, then they'd go chase a squirrel or something.

The amount of polish and attention to detail is fantastic!  \r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, I think the kittens are slightly overpowered at times.  There were times where I was just sitting, watching the kittens kill things rather than wrangling them with the laser pointer.

Super cute graphics and idea, nice satisfying sounds, great level progression and teaching the player, and I didn't see any bugs (aside from the spiders :P). The only thing I can even think of to criticize is the default UI button sprite (I think it looks better if you just use a 16x16 blank square sprite for a minimal look rather than the stretched Unity UI sprites), but obviously that's a really minor thing. Awesome work, 5 to the 6th power from me :)"},{"author_name":"Smirnov48","author_uid":"11028","time":"May 9, 2015 @ 4:21pm","epoch":1431188160,"text":"Super game!
