Neat game! Definitely not a concept I was expecting, but pretty cool. Well done!

Lovely art and music. Really cute aesthetic until the foxes come and kill your cats 😭

Found the challenge level really compelling. Around about the time 3 foxes comes in it gets absolutely nails hard trying to balance upgrades with care.

Nice job.

Looks like a fun and fleshed-out game. Unfortunately no build available for Linux so will have to play it later. Good art style though.

I had the impression that the keetcats didn't fight back, although they had swords and it took too long to heal keetcats (if it's even possible through petting) so that I was overrun by fows. Otherwise very fun game and fitting music, well done

PS: Maybe add to your LD page that you need a controller to play it, I was confused at the start

Cool idea and very cute graphics. Cat eggs are quite funny too. However, the execution has some flaws, which are quite game breaking for me.

I think the game is lacking a proper explanation/tutorial (at least in the description). I was lost at the beginning, after several attempts I got most of the mechanics, but I still have no idea what the building with an egg in the window does (and when can I use it). I think controls should be in game too and I think it should support keyboard too, not everyone has a controller.

Mechanics are cool, but the balance is way off. Even with armor and sword cats are too weak and they grow too slowly, so I have to do all the fighting and the game is difficult in an annoying way.

There is a bug: when I die and start a new game, I can't move.

At the current state the game is not really fun for me but cool idea and good graphics, after some polishing and rebalancing it could be good. I hope I wasn't too harsh with my opinion.

EDIT: Ok, now I see the explanation in the pictures at the page, my bad. So my paragraph about the tutorial is not really valid, sorry.

I liked the cute artstyle and sounds. As someone said, the game could have some balance improvement. I had a lot of money, but had to wait everytime to spend 3 coins at a time. Some more powerful and costly options would help a lot.

Really cute kitties, and definitely more for multiplayer, did wish there was a single player option.
