Kitten Evolution by AngelDE98
You are a human in post-apocalyptic times, where the cat (and kitten) race is dominating over the world. Because of that, you are working in a lab. Normally AGAINST kittens - but instead, you kill all the other worker bots and rescue the kittens!
Movement : Arrow Keys
Attack : DOWN or SPACE
Goal of the game:
Reach the third level. Kill all other worker-bots, evolving yourself and powering up your power level. Also rescue the other kitten before the bots kill them.
IMPORTANT!
Use the launcher at least ONCE because it needs to download the game .jar, extract natives and files out of it and then launch the game. The engnie has a errorous self-extracting mechanism causing the desktop being copied, but that code shouldn't be ran now.
Current errors that I know about :
- Level 3 crashing when kitten get killed by bot (Fixed, was a java nullpointer in the Mob AI)
- Level 3 freezing with a whitescreen (on some machines)
- Kittens in Level 2 can't be saved (Fixed, bugfix got "approved" on IRC because of collision bugs causing the player getting trapped and saving the kitten the only way of fixing the collision trap bug)
Also, the screenie is an older one. Hence the new UI cursor and mouse and the missing DLC CENTER.

On the first few attempts I got stuck on the AI also, so I avoided them in the next play.
Judging from what I saw of the game, the graphics were nice and the menu was very polished. The gameplay did not feel very polished and I think that you should have used more time on the gameplay and made a simple menu instead. It was annoying to lose all your speed just because you touched the roof. Good job nonetheless and too bad that it wont load the third level.
