[raw]
made by Jesús González for LD 42 (JAM)

16-cat battle royale while running out of space. Shoot bombs and destroy the ground under your opponents to make them fall out of the map.

The game is largely unfinished, but we decided to upload it anyway. We only got to work on it around 36 of the 72 hours.

Controls: - Move: arrow keys. - Jump: X. - Shoot: C, hold to shoot further.

Features: - 16 player action. - Bots with advanced AI, each one of them gets and changes its target automatically.

Missing or incomplete: - Kill counter is not working properly. - We didn't have time to put most of our art assets into the game (tiles, backgrounds, the rest of the cats). - Music and sound effects. - Gameplay balance.

Credits: - Jesús González: programming, design. - Ingrid Peñailillo: graphics, design. - Jimmy Mottini: programming, design.

Pretty good concept, to think you made that in 36 hours is impressive, good game.

This is fun... almost impossible to kill someone though (for my skill)!

Could only have been better if it was with cows and called Cattle Royale. One wonders what would have happened in the full 72 hours :O

The controls are a little awkward: I kept pressing Space expecting it to be the jump button.

The key to jump is not intuitive, but the game is pretty good.
I never touched an other cat, but it's fun !
:D

@echo-team Cattle Royale was in fact the original name of the project, as you can see in our repository, but as we didn't had the time to also put in cattles, we decided to shorten it to just Cat Royale.

Controls are really hard, I always end up losing because I fell.

It's a little rough, but it's pretty clear what you were going for, and enough is there that's it's fun already. As a finished game, I could see this being one I could lose a weekend to.

Even if it's unfinished, looks very promising and fun. You should polish and make multiplayer mode :D
Congrats

It's nice start of interesting concept with parody elements. There are good pallete and funny character in the messy world, but sometimes it's hard to differ main character from enemies - they all are the same color. Also i tried to find an indicators of the slingshot's tension and cooldown.

@lucas-ferrantelli Thanks for trying the game! Are you related to the legendary Pietro Ferrantelli? I'll try your game later today, it looks good from the screenshots already.

I like the concept (and anything with cats in gets bonus points) but I do have to say it felt very hard to successfully take out another bot. I got what I felt should be direct hits and it went straight through, is the only way to kill to make them fall off the bottom? An indicator of where the bottom is would be nice too, it currently just is a race to the bottom (since there is rarely a way to get back up after destroying the terrain) and then suddenly you fall off!
