Untitled: Space Cats by Rainsong

[raw]
made by Rainsong for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

SpaceCat is defending traveling the galaxy, fending off Toast-Dogs, Vacuum Cleaners, and rogue Balls of Yarn... but whenever he hits the Yarneroid Belt, he is thrown back through a rainbow portal to the spot where he started from.

ASWD and/or arrow keys to move; space bar or left-mouse to shoot

My family has been making jokes about "really getting into the theme" with all the looping back and re-coding I've been doing while making this game.

WASD controls appear to be broken. Bullets were also very hard to see against the dark background and shots were a bit too obnoxious of a sound for how often it played. Liked the artstyle and very fun idea.

Cool graphics and sound. It is possible to never die by just going full speed and firing constantly, btw. Nice job.

Maybe? LOL you still have a chance of dying but it is a bit smaller that way

Addictive and cool, the sound is a bit annoying.

What a great effort well done. The controls for moving the player could have been a bit smoother but I love the "retro" effect you are going for.

Very funny, good job!! maybe you can block the down movement so you can only go forwards

Nice little arcade! I love the way you get back right to the game after losing all health, no bull****, it just lets you play immediately without breaking the flow too much. I myself didn't see much meaning in going back or forward but I'm sure someone may use it to get bigger score quicker.

Really cute game with an interpretation of the theme I didn't think of. Having it be an arcade shooter makes it super easy to jump into and keep playing. For the number of collectibles, the sound was a little grating and I didn't realize why it was playing until I realized I was picking things up. Overall, it was a lot of fun, but a little confusing and cluttered at first.

Liked it! A little confusing at first, and I wish there was a way to regain lives(I may have just missed it), but I liked the style you went for
