Killer Kitties by PepperSalt

[raw]
made by PepperSalt for LD 40 (JAM)

You're allergic to cats. So every cat in the park wants to be around you. Luckily, you've got your trusty water balloon cannon to "discourage" them! Pick up the water balloon piles that are conveniently lying around. If you touch a kitty, your allergies go up. If your allergies reach 100%, you sneeze yourself into the stratosphere! Ironically, you get points only if there's a kitty attracted to you. The more kitties you have following you, the worse it is!

(Please note I'm not trying to make fun of people with allergies. I know people who are allergic to cats and how serious that can be. So please don't be offended.)

Write out the hotkeys! Didn't realize my first play through that you could use the balloons you collected, thought it first was a game where the end was inevitable. Use Z to throw balloons.
Otherwise, great idea, enjoyed it and got over 100points on my second play through!

really dig the style of this game. its sad the guy cant get to enjoy the cats tho :(
There doesnt seem much to do other than run left and right meaning doom was unavoidable which wass kind of disappointing but given the time restraint thats understandable and didnt really affect my rating.

@radmccool, the character's doom IS supposed to be unavoidable, but ideally there would be more ways to defend yourself and more objects to interact with.
Sorry for the slow response.

maybe a "hug cat" action that speeds up the allergies increment would be enough :P

Hm, I somehow couldn't play the game. It would only load a bluish white screen and play some music, but nothing else happens.
