Gave it a spin. While i usually like tower-def like games I sadly cant say this scratch that itch. My largest issue is with its controls, it just became rather irritating to control the cat as the jumps where very low and the \"drag\/roll\" move seemed unintuitive. The gameplay was also a bit unclear, I had the top-bar that showed me who was in the lead but i found it almost impossible to gain more ground then the green balls. I think the game could have done better with a \"round\" level design, so that if I fall to far down, I end-up at the top again, as jumping higher up was way to difficult while at same time as trying not to die. In the end, you have a solid theme going! It just needs more play-testing. The style is very nice, and love the ball-cat. It needs more games!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sintel","author_uid":"1061992","time":"2018-04-24T15:21:12Z","epoch":1524583272,"modified":1524583272,"text":"Controls are a bit wonky.

For some reason it was never worth it to release the space button so I was always bouncing higher. I love this type of low poly graphics and the game ahd an overall good mood.\nI would make the bouncing a bit higher since I was always barely  managing to get to the upper platforms. Also I didn't realize during the first minutes that I lost lives when I collided with other green cats while they were up in the air so I would also add some type of feedback for when that happened (like the screen flashing red or something?).\nOverall I thought it was a nice game!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JavaSaurus","author_uid":"1080673","time":"2018-04-24T19:09:30Z","epoch":1524596970,"modified":1524596970,"text":"As per usual you amaze me sir ...

I enjoyed the concept of having to use platforming skills to keep control of your turrets, reminded me a lot of the old diddy kong racing egg game on the N64. I'd imagine this would be fun multiplayer, as then you can be mad at your friends for stealing your \"owned\" platforms, rather than those pesky green cats!! Keep up the good work <3","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gamesplusjames","author_uid":"1009836","time":"2018-04-26T14:14:36Z","epoch":1524752076,"modified":1524752076,"text":"That was a really fun game! It took me a little while to work out what was going on with the platforms but once I did it was fun battling against the hordes of green cats :) Controlling the cat seemed a bit awkward when moving as it sped up a lot as you held sideways, almost seemed like there should be a maximum velocity , especially while accelerating in the air (I was using controller). I loved the artstyle and the music and overall it was a really cool entry! Nice work! :)","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/85285-886e095573770555072faf1c9d732089.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/christophgray.itch.io\/cat-kingdom-defence","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/christophgray.itch.io\/cat-kingdom-defence","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/christophgray.itch.io\/cat-kingdom-defence","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"52988","g_author":"1004275","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"243576","g_title":"Cat Kingdom Defence","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"9","g_site2_node_id":"85285","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"85285","n_urlkey":"243576","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/cat-kingdom-defence","n_slug":"cat-kingdom-defence","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"4275","n_created":"1524272540","n_modified":"1524577232","n_version":"271309","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":85285,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":4275,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2018-04-24T00:29:00Z","created":"2018-04-21T01:02:20Z","modified":"2018-04-24T13:40:32Z","version":271309,"slug":"cat-kingdom-defence","name":"Cat Kingdom Defence","body":"![screenshotcat2.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/3b0\/1\/z\/1334c.png)\n![screenshotcat.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/3b0\/1\/z\/1334d.png)\nCombining tower defence with platform games.\n\nHOW TO PLAY:\n\nYou are a spherical cat who's objective is to spawn as many turrets as possible to attack the enemy tower.
