untitled cats thing by mishajams


Was supposed to be an exploration/adventure/metroidvania take on snake
Started on the last day, kept tossing ideas out until there no longer even was a snake in the game, still didn't finish on time
I wouldn't bother checking this out, things are broken. The editor doesn't allow me to change event to 'unfinished'.
Working on a proper build
inspired by https://tak.itch.io/meow and knytt (http://nifflas.ni2.se/games/)

Thank you! It's very exciting to hear something so nice!
I also like how the graphics turned out but exploration can get frustrating - the cats spawn randomly, you can't see very far and there's nothing to guide you (i really like how both of the games i listed as inspirations solve that problem) and nothing to do once you've met everyone
That's probably assets not loading in time((
Pressing an arrow key or refreshing the page fixes this for now, but i wouldn't bother if i were you, unless you want to watch cats spawn in the walls/water and peer beyond the edges of the world. Didn't have the time to test what I managed to finish
The world is already quite big, maybe start with a smaller world next time, flesh out the game and then do more / bigger levels / world.
The controls are a bit slow, maybe faster player reaction time and movement would have been good. Mainly the reaction time when you start moving in a direction. There shouldn't be a delay then at least.
