Description

​Last time we took part in Ludum Dare (LD46), we made a game about our cat called "Dee" (Nekotchi). This time, we went DEEper AHHA AHHAHA AHAHAHA

This is an endless runner where you control the little fellow delving deeper into the phenomenon called "post-dump psychosis", strafing and jumping around, trying to dodge stuff and eat snex along the way. Didn't get as far with this as I would've hoped, but it's better than nothing innit.

Didn't have time to make music, so used one of my oldies which fits surprisingly well. Thus regarding the audio scoring, the music is mine but didn't make it during this jam so make of it what you will. The song in my Soundcloud

Controls

  • A/Left - Strafe left
  • D/Right - Strafe right
  • W/Up/Space - Jump

Software used

  • Godot 3.3 (C#/Mono version)
  • MagicaVoxel
  • PaintTool Sai 2
  • Reaper (for audio)

Changelog (only in HTML5)

json [28/04/2021] 1.1 - Added ability to press Enter/Space in menus for faster replay - Made routes a bit easier and progression faster ```

This is pretty cool! Loving the music. You still made it so I would count it :). The graphics look really clean and solid. Nice combination of 2d and 3d. Overall looks pretty polished. Somehow I went farther on my first try than any other lol.Good Job!

Love the Cats. Music was good made me want to play it longer to hear it. Stretching the theme to its limits a little but overall I like it.

I enjoyed the gameplay, though controlling the cat is kinda weird. I wish the graphics were more uniform, but it was well done

Very fun game ! I had a blast try to navigate in your procedurally generated levels. The amount of polish was awesome for a game jam !

Strengths :
- Graphics and audio kick ass
- Straightforward and fun gameplay
- A cat ! And a cute one, at that

Possible improvements :
- Distances are sometimes somewhat difficult to grasp

All in all, great job !

This is great, one of the only ones I played through a load of times! Really smooth controls and nice vector graphics, and the audio fits perfectly - good job! :smile:

The 2d art style is amazing! the 3d parts are not bad either! I don't understand how to bonk other pets though. They always stop me.

CAT BUTT. NOMS. TAKE ALL MY STARS!

Lol, nice! Adorable. Great cat.

Very hard to dodge the environment and get very far though!

I think the music really amped up the feeling of running at higher speeds through the house! I couldn't figure out how to increase my bonk other pets score, but I thought it was really fun and thought it had a lot of simple but effective animations!

This music + 2D cat in 3D world = fun :D Also cool that its generated differently every time.

As someone who got a cat that also go crazy who do exactly the same after using the cat litter I can just love this game. I really like the style of the black cat, gg !

1) Love cats! 2) Sooo hard (maybe less things at the begining) 3) Love rainbow floor!
I have a great time playing it, well done

Thanks a ton for the plays and feedback everyone! I'm very glad you're enjoying the game.

@jlv Yeah definitely, a drop shadow underneath our main hero was planned to help with understanding the distances but sadly didn't make it to the submission hour.

@lumous If you land them from above enough, it should bounce off (most of the time). The nature of 2D billboards sprites kinda makes this harder than it should be though, again a drop shadow underneath would help :P

Hilarious game! I think it would've been nice for the game to start at a quicker running speed. Maybe just personal preference, but it felt kind of slow. Otherwise, very fun and funny game.

Congrats ! I like the gamefeel and the music. It sad that there is no sound FX and that you cannot modulate your jump !

I have a similar pet - an overactive cat just like yours in the game. Now I know how my cat feels when she runs to destroy the apartment :)
Thanks for your entry, it turned out to be very fun and perky!

Really great art here, and music! Ate lotsa snex and am very pleased lol. Nicely done with the procedural generation, I never felt like there wasn't somewhere to go and that's impressive (as was the amount of props in the scene). Really cool entry :D
