Meowm! by LDJam user 286087

[raw]
made by LDJam user 286087 for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

So you play as a killer.Your cat just ate a bomb.Every 10 seconds you should pet the cat.If you forget, it will explode eventually. Left mouse button to shoot.WASD to move.R to reload. ENTER TO PET THE CAT.Space to restart the game. I should be sorry about this terrible play experience. I only got 4 hours to finish it for many reasons. But I came up with the idea long time ago. So the reason why I still want to submit it is that I want to know if this combination of features can work. And I will continue polishing it. Thanks for playing.

The cat is very cute and the idea is novel. I like it a lot!

I respect how realistic the game is, as not petting cats makes them explode (i have 3 of them, so I know what I'm saying). Outside of that, neat little game. At this stage, my main thing would be a lack of feedback from the game (on hitting, getting hit, needing to reload, info on what happened when the cat explodes, etc.)

This is the game I'm ready to play forever. I love this concept so much!

Fun entry! You could use a different key than Enter for petting the cat (I don't have 3 hands). But it does make it more challenging, so maybe it is intended that way.

It's fun! It would've been nice if the game reset on death, but I enjoyed playing.

playing this game, I can tell you didn't have much time working on it.. the consept of a cat that ate a bomb is awesome lol and I mean who doesn't like to pet a cat? but I think the game could use a bit more polish, maybe an end screen when you die etc.. (I know the jam is over, just saying).

but hey.. I don't think I can make a game like this in 4 hours so you deserve credit for that, I hope you had fun making it at least

I know its a simple game but you managed to make it really fun with so few elements! Shame I couldn't vote though, congrats on your entry!

Really cool and simple idea! I think it might be even more challenging and interesting if petting the cat slowly refilled the meter, and moving and shooting drained from it so you had to be really careful about your actions.

Fun idea! My feedback would be to make it so I don't need to keep taking my hands off the mouse, I would also like to see more details like amo left and whatnot. Nice job though!
