TankoKitty by JohnnySix

[raw]
made by JohnnySix for LD28 (COMPO)
Dogs vs Cats in this ammo saving adventure across time and space. Ballons, Bones and Potatoes. Sucks too.

Move left to suck stuff , up down to aim, space to fire.

Forks kill balloons, Potatoes kill crates and dogs.

It was originally going to fire just forks, but the potato was too fun, so it kinda bent the theme somewhat, but you can't enjoy potato without a fork, and tuna..

Engine is construct 2, graphics in photoshop , music / sfx in flstudio and audition.

Props to Scirra guys!

Added a couple of pictures of the star of the game. :)

Even though it doesn't fit the theme very well, It is probably the most polished and fun game I've played so far.

This game is pretty cool. It was a little glitchy, but it was fun. I also thought that the sucking feature was interesting.

Nice Little game! I love the music and the graphics, and the physics-based gameplay is nice. Good job!

Great graphics and game feel. The music is BUMPIN'. Could use more content and has no connection to the theme.

I didn't liked the gameplay too much - but couldn't stop playing because the music and visuals! Cool physics and very moody prod.

I definitely love this sort of pixel art and I definitely love cats. Do I enjoy shooting forks out of tanks? The answer is yes. Yes I do. The suction thing was very cool as well.

Cool music and visuals! Really, really odd game but sort of fun, now if it only was longer and hitting balloons was easier.

Interesting Monthy Python clash between dogs and cats. The "sucking power" was indeed interesting to use once I understood how it worked.

Funny experience ^^
Congrats for making it, even with the time constraints.

lol, nicely done, although I cannot seem to get hurt by the enemies before they blast themselves on their backs. And I'm not sure what exactly you only have one of, in-keeping with the theme. Still a fun little game!

Hey, my game is designed to be played with a gamepad, i think yours is right but with a lack of gamedesign because you can easily loss the rock and cant continue anymore ,leaving you the only option of restart it...overall, good, i love the idea of the animals inside tanks, that's the true indie spirit ;)

Haha, that was awesome. The randomness is great, and the fact that the enemies are useless made me laugh my ass off! :P Great work!

You have one potato meal. There was supposed to be a bonus once you got the fork stuck in the potato but I couldn't figure out the glitchy in time. :p

A winner is me!

Thank you. Thank you for letting me play as the kitty instead of the doggy.

I enjoy how ridiculous it is. I definitely had fun playing it. Great art, awesome music, lots of polish, and pretty cool game mechanic. My only complains are poor connection to theme, and that it was so short. I hope you keep working on it, because I would certainly like to play a few more levels. Overall, really nice job.

The pixel art is very beautiful and so is the concept and gameplay, but i think more instructions on what to do are welcome. Good job

One of the, if not THE, funniest games in this edition.

Wow, really polished and fun game! I think this one has to be developed into a full game.

Well done! You did a good job on the graphics and it was fun to play. For me it was a little bit too easy. I found out that you can win this game by holding forward and keep pressing spacebar.
Still a good game :)

This was a lot of fun, and the mechanics were surprising and innovative!

It's a bit strange that the vacuum effect happens when moving backwards; this made fetching the fork awkward sometimes.

That was a lot of fun :D especially running away at the beginning so the cat has to catch the tank! hehe, nice work!

This reminds me of a dream my cat had that made my cat happy and violent. Nice.

The game's really polished and well made! The theme didn't fit too much, but still had fun! The menu music should've been nicer to play in the game though...

I really had fun playing this game, hilarous mechanics, beautiful art, shame the level is too short... Good job anyway, awesome game! :D

5/5. I particularly enjoyed the music. It would be nice if the cat made some cat noises. I hope you make more levels it seems like you have only *scratched* the surface.

Nice game with an interesting gameplay. More levels with varying objectives would be nice.

Meoooooow!!! Cats in tanks! This game is fun!
Graphics are cute, soundtrack is entertaining and sound FX are nice. Animation and physics are well integrated.
I'm a bit puzzled though regarding how the game relates to the theme. It's also too easy to complete (what about a few more levels for a post-compo version?).
Well done overall!

It's a fun game with great controls... but you kinda blown your use of the theme...

Great game, nonetheless.

Nice! Pretty graphics and pretty polished. It felt a bit too easy since you could retrieve the rock and the fork at any time.

Moving back to suck up the bullets was neat, I could imagine more complex fighting situations where it could prove interesting.

I like the cat photos in your screenshot section. ^_^ This is a very impressive entry for 48 hours too - thought was a jam entry at first! Some of the pixel art detail and animation work is very impressive, rated highly. :)

I found the controls pretty confusing, but otherwise a nice polished game. Also, it's awesome that you used your cat :D
