Ridiculously fun!

I just love it, it's fun, like really fun!

I guess the very basic graphics are supposed to give it a more ridiculous look, but with 3d models that were more polished and detailled, this would be funnier I think


But, I love it, it is ridiculously fun!

Guys thanks for labelling the places in the cafe and for the environmental storytelling. I do like environmental storytelling.

I wasn't sure if the crazy glitchy tentacle meshes everywhere were intentional, and I'm still not sure whether it matters

I thought it was hilarious! Some things that could make it better -- feedback when you shoot the tentacles, some way to establish waves of enemies.

Here is my opinion:

The tentacles felt like bullet sponges.
The information log on the left side was spammy. Was this an intended feature, or a bug?
You forgot to set a skybox, a little bit more love on details like this could improve the experience
I felt overwhelmed by the action. Some more introduction could improve this.

I did not finish the game (if there is a finish), because i felt overwhelmed by the action.

This game gave me a ridiculous amount of what the fucks per second in a positive way.
I liked the music.

Not too bad! I kinda wish the gun sound was a bit less loud, otherwise well done!

Sign says you can pet cats, can only pick them up. 2/10 would not recommend.

Fun game. Goofy games like these usually work quite well for game jams. One complaint is that there's not really that much strategy or planning here. Tentacles spawn suddenly, and all you do is shoot through that window until they're gone. Maybe if there was a warning in the window before the tentacles spawned so that you could plan ahead somehow? Or maybe you could have a wave to keep a kitten safe, like some cage where they're protected. Occasionally they wander off and you have to put them back. That way you'd give the player a strategy decision to either focus on killing tentacles or on putting kittens in the cage.

Also, for text you should use TextMeshPro (TMPro) over the regular Text and TextMesh components. It looks a lot better.

Very fun and silly game, honestly I got jump scared by the tentacles at the start ngl! It became really hard to manage as it progressed but I did have fun playing - well done!

This was probably the funniest game I ever played. I'm not even sure why but it probably has something to do with the tiny cats with funny names that don't move at all the whole game, or the sudden tentacles flooding the room, or the tiny gun that makes bubble sounds.

As for the gameplay, it's pretty barebones apart from the humor, which it adds to it honestly. I usually give a lot of constructive criticism in my comments but honestly i'm just left speechless by this experience. That's a good thing I think.

Why is this game so funny ? :thinking:

The setting ? the raw graphics ? the game mechanics ? The pingpong ball Gun ? The T-pose cats names ? the glitched Tentacles ? the amazing explosion FXs ? The Action music ?

I think it's the mix of everything here that makes the game so :metal: Metal :metal: & Crazy !!!

A WTF game !!! I :heart: it !

It took me a while to figure out we can open the door, I almost rated the game without having reached the part of it with tentacles. It was very chaotic and needs a lot of polishing, but a good start!
GOD COLO

The gameplay just went on a whole new level when opening the door! :laughing: That shooting sound effect is so funny!! :laughing: It's like playing ping pong but in real fast paced! :laughing:
Greato Jobu! :smile:

Haha man, I didn't read any of the description information, just the controls and went in blind. It actually startled me when tentacles started flying in out of nowhere. Fun game haha, played a few rounds of it to get the hang of it and all in all I think it's some good work! Controls felt good, and the sound effects were good. Background music was good too.

Nice game to get it done in the time given, and I had fun. Hope you're happy with what was achieved. :)

I have no words for this. There was absolutely no part of me that thought opening the door might lead to Cthuwu reaching in with tentacles, just straight clipping through the door and going through the [up/down]stairs windows. Everything about this experience was a quite off - lots of z-fighting among objects, kitties that seemed to be floating in the air, strange console messages - and yet I enjoyed it **so** much; this game just made me really happy somehow. Thanks, I guess, haha!

I laughed out loud at the posters on the wall, the explosions and sound effects. Funny meme game but I was genuinely sad when my first cat was kidnapped. Works well, great game! Couldn't find the any key tho!

Wild ride. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/W3MIuB5jBTw
