Leave my Lettuce Alone :( by NeiloGD
Whilst your owner is away, you, a black cat, have been left to guard
the family's lettuce patches. It's currently breeding season for rabbits,
so there are lots of hungry kittens about.
Controls are very simple, the black cat will always follow your cursor,
and the rabbits will be avoiding the black cat whilst also trying to eat
all of the lettuce. The rabbits hate being seperated, so what you need to
do is try to split them up so they get scared and run away whilst simultaneously
preventing the lettuce patches from being eaten!
All game code is written in C++, and my own engine, Psybrus, was used.
PS: It is known to work in Linux under Wine, and also runs in OSX with Wine.

AND IT WAS TOTALLY AWESOME.
It is a really funny concept and I like the style of the game... but... could you PLEASE make a version where the cat can eat those... monsters? :D
I really like the style of this game, well done
I would tell you the trick, but there is a trick that I figured out whilst playing it. Them leaving in pairs is actually emergent, I didn't code it to do that :P
The gameplay is also pretty unusual. I think it's a neat idea. I'm impressed with the flocking behavior.
Sadly, the game isn't too fun for me. I just got bored after 6 levels or so. It needs something else I think.
Overall, good job!
:-D
