Lokat's Revenge by Kaijiro

[raw]
made by Kaijiro for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

You may eventually remember the beast from LD46.

You failed to satisfy Lokat and now, it is coming to wreck your house. All of your precious belongings will be destroyed ... UNLESS ! Unless you are able to defend your belongings by splashing the monster with your Anti-cat-water-gun !

In Lokat's Revenge you have to switch over 4 rooms to protect your precious goods from the wandering cat that just want to make them fall. But you do know what will happen... The mischiefing cat will absolutely reach one of the beloved goodies, because eh, it's a cat !

Commands :

Switch rooms with LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW

Shoot with LEFT CLICK

A tutorial is available in-game if you want more details about the UI.

i appreciate the derpy visuals and sfx. more than once i really felt like i had shot on target, but still got game over.

i think having 3 lives or something would make it a bit more fun, game over right away feels kind of disruptive.

Please give Lokat head pats and cuddles... It was fun to keep the kitty from destroying prized possessions!

Funny SFX. :-) But the arrow keys did not work for me. I tried several times and could never switch rooms with the arrow keys for some reason. Also tried A and D but didn't do anything either.
But fun conzet anyway. Good work!

Didn't quite get the furrymeter all the way, it felt a litle difficult to get the last bit. Loved the SFX and always love a game with a CAT.

Damn cat! Makes some cute noises though.
Don't think I did any better than 30 seconds, but I had fun playing this game

@Cedric86 Hey ! Thank you for your feedback ! It may be a problem with itch.io, if this problem happen again try to refresh the page (even on other games) :)

I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I think the very first cat should always spawn on the first screen, so players can't die right away without seeing anything. You should also add arrows on screen to remind that you can change room. Also after a time, it's totally impossible to stop the cat if you're not on the good screen. Yes, it's inevitable but it's pretty short. But it was fun too.

Hey @bottled-up-dark-peace, thank you very much for your suggestions ! We talked about it with Okkolobr and we agree with you ! Maybe a post-Jam version will be made with all those good suggestions !

When I saw the guy from little big planet, I just knew your game was good. That sumbrero was one of my favorite items. Love the graphis (simple but funny) and the sound effects .... Anyways, overall, GREAT ENTRY!

Great fun! Pretty tough pretty quickly but part of the charm really. Agree with some of the other suggestions on how to ramp the difficulty. Thanks for making me grin! :smile:

I found it frustrating that you apparently can't shoot the cat once it's sitting down and trying to bat things off the shelf. It's like false hope. A last chance to keep things on the shelf, yet never is the chance truly given to me...

Love the cute cat pictures and the fact it's a continuation of your LD46 entry! Which I never played, but I just like continuations. Audio cues were fun and cute too. As a jam game, it could have stood to get some generic music or something though, felt a little empty without it.

I ended up rage quitting before I could fill up the furrymeter, lol. Cat just gets too fast to find the right room before it switches to Invincible Sitting pose.

I do like that you added a tutorial, even more so if that was during the jam rather than a post-jam. And the store with the 'coming soon' skins/dlc was a cute touch, although I'm not sure if that's for jokesies or if you actually intend that functionality at some point.

Hey @papabirb , thank you for playing !
Yes, once the cat is sitting, there is no coming back : the inevitable is here. We noted that it could be frustrating / not clear for everyone.

We had some spare time at the end so we decided to add some goofy features : the DLC page is the result :)

This cat is pretty damn fast for the very beginning!. I would have preferred a more slow paced start or at least to finish the game when x objects have fallen instead of just one.

The game is fun and addictive though!
