The gameplay isn't really my cup of tea, but that's more of a personal thing. I enjoy the audio and graphic style, and I love the idea of taking over each defeated enemy's properties.

This game was nice with fun gameplay and sound. It felt a bit slow for me though.

This games looks like a good start but it is too slow pace for my taste.

The movement style made it really hard to hit the enemies without getting hit myself, which lead to just a lot of wandering around trying to regen health until I could stop again and attack. Faster turning or like, mouse aiming would have helped a lot I think, the controls felt kind of slow and clunky. Great job though, I like the cactus cats (Cat-tuses?)

I agree with most comments... the controls were a bit slow, but that is ok on it's own, but I found attacking to be a bit difficult. I think the game has potential and would encourage you to continue development.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
