My main problem with it was that i felt like when i used my slash attack it took a while to deal damage. Also i'm not sure why you wan navigate the menu with WASD but cant use it to control your character in the game. Other then those two thing though this is a pretty solid rogue-like.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jiink","author_uid":"1144054","time":"2019-04-30T01:23:20Z","epoch":1556587400,"modified":1556587400,"text":"Nice job!

I really like this type of game, random floors and upgrades. The attacks and movement are a little finnicky, but the idea is all good! level 2 gets very difficult very quickly, havent passed it yet","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"michaelsonbritt","author_uid":"1065234","time":"2019-04-30T02:07:56Z","epoch":1556590076,"modified":1556590076,"text":"Wow, very difficult.  Those darn door-camping sharks!!  Nice work on the random level generation.\n\nFrustration is seeing instructions for \"shoot\" and \"dash\" commands which aren't available at the beginning of the game, attack is short range, plus all upgrades are too expensive to purchase at first.  The gun is unpredictable to control and hard to obtain.  Otherwise input handling, immersion, overall quality is good.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Logicon211","author_uid":"1001356","time":"2019-04-30T02:22:26Z","epoch":1556590946,"modified":1556590946,"text":"The art style is very distinctive. I had a hard time timing attacks so I was without enough health to buy stuff frequently but the theme is definitely in there for sure. I also got lost quite a few times, but otherwise I \nstill enjoyed it. Good job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"superpokeunicorn","author_uid":"1001412","time":"2019-04-30T07:22:41Z","epoch":1556608961,"modified":1556608961,"text":"I really like this game. The combat is simple and intuitive and I like the minimalist art style. I also appreciate the different music tracks for each level along with the unique set of enemies and environments. Having to spend health on upgrades is a neat mechanic, although, in practice, it never seemed worth it. The gun in particular felt very underwhelming. I like that you included a final boss and the fight was really great, but nothing happened after I beat it for some reason. Still, I enjoyed my time with this game. Nice work!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"shunao","author_uid":1153745,"time":"2019-04-30T23:30:29Z","epoch":1556667029,"modified":1556667029,"text":"i found the art super cute!!!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Dreadusa","author_uid":"1077258","time":"2019-05-01T01:53:15Z","epoch":1556675595,"modified":1556675595,"text":"Super cute!  I can't say it was too innovative since it stuck very close to the roguelite genre and didn't branch off much.

Looks and sounds good and you have audio\/visual feedback for everything (Thank you!). The random levels works pretty well too. My biggest issue is that the upgrades are way too expensive so either you can't afford them or they don't feel worth buying. The gun is also too clunky especially since you have to stand still while using it. I say just make it shoot the direction you're facing while still being able to move.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/152561-7dee37f891fde0c52bf06d093926d564.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/birchtree.itch.io\/the-adventures-of-cat-bat","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"41763","g_author":"1152559","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"255066","g_title":"The Adventures of Cat Bat","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"152561","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.90398"},"nds":{"n_key":"152561","n_urlkey":"255066","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/the-adventures-of-cat-bat","n_slug":"the-adventures-of-cat-bat","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"152559","n_created":"1556497443","n_modified":"1556581734","n_version":"455032","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":152561,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":152559,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-04-29T23:48:54Z","created":"2019-04-29T00:24:03Z","modified":"2019-04-29T23:48:54Z","version":455032,"slug":"the-adventures-of-cat-bat","name":"The Adventures of Cat Bat","body":"Take the role of Cat Bat in a rogue-like adventure!\nIncludes random dungeon generation, upgrades, and 3 different levels.\n\n![362af343fcd982c0f4b6c094a4873d12.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b26.png)\n![0edd7c3173ea95f475d4d26f0b00798a.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b29.png)\n![ecf492533c5363a84930dc3634222723.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b2b.png)\n![fc1fdd6131502c7c7ae4c9a330b2a758.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b2f.png)\n![23db1baefd12b6ed7f73ce762a5bb285.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b67.png)","meta":{"author":[152559],"grade-07-out":"1","cover":"\/\/\/content\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b03.png","link-01":"https:\/\/birchtree.itch.io\/the-adventures-of-cat-bat","link-01-tag":"42337"},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/the-adventures-of-cat-bat","parents":[1,5,9,139254],"love":0,"notes":11,"notes-timestamp":"2019-05-02T15:29:04Z","grade":{"grade-01":15,"grade-02":15,"grade-03":13,"grade-04":14,"grade-05":15,"grade-06":15,"grade-08":14},"magic":{"cool":120.48289933537,"feedback":5,"given":16.875,"grade":14.428571428571,"smart":15.88018735652}},"text":"Take the role of Cat Bat in a rogue-like adventure!\nIncludes random dungeon generation, upgrades, and 3 different levels.\n\n![362af343fcd982c0f4b6c094a4873d12.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b26.png)\n![0edd7c3173ea95f475d4d26f0b00798a.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b29.png)\n![ecf492533c5363a84930dc3634222723.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b2b.png)\n![fc1fdd6131502c7c7ae4c9a330b2a758.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b2f.png)\n![23db1baefd12b6ed7f73ce762a5bb285.png](\/\/\/raw\/fe3\/52\/z\/22b67.png)","title":"The Adventures of Cat Bat"}
