Cat-O-Pult by Sun-Wukong
Castles/Worms type of a game, but in this one you use cats as your weapon of choice. You need to conquer dwarven fortifications with the power of cat love!
One of the first ideas for "Ancient Technology" was catapult simulator. And well, it came to this.
No sounds since sound suddenly stopped working for me in Godot :(
Mouse controls:
- LMB hold and release to fire a cat.
- RMB to scroll map
- Mouse wheel to zoom
- You can also use arrow keys to scroll
Tools used:
- Godot Engine
- Krita 3.0

UPD: There was a small bug causing cat to walk straight up into the sky sometimes. I've fixed it and uploaded patched version on itch.io page. Google drive links still contains original files.

Adorable game, though. Nice work!
I like when anyone invest time doing a quantity of levels.
I missed all audio but good job!
PS. It reminded me of an old Flash game, Cat-A-Pult, is that why you used the "O" instead of "A" in the middle? Very different tone to this, though.
1. If you fire a cat into the front wall, it takes ages for it to walk back until you can shoot again.
2. I managed to glitch a cat into the floor, by shooting it up really high. That can even let the cat slip though the floor completely, soft-locking the game.
3. On level 5 time a cat climed through a wood ceiling. Not sure if that is a bug or intended though. Used it in level 10 also.
4. On the level after that, a cat landed on a stone pillar, but slid down right through it. This is very much reproducible :(
Completed all levels except level 8, where I finally gave up :/
A very polished game, a lot of fun, nice levels with a steep difficulty curve. Also, amazing graphics. Best thing is the game mechanic with the cats, which I really liked :)
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.
I really like the mechanic that the cats walk and seek their targets. It would be nice if the cats would have more colors than black.
Somehow, I managed to launch a cat in such a way that it walked directly off screen into the sky. This softlocked the game. Maybe implement a check if the cat is still within boundaries of the window?
Overall, nice work!
Cool you have made it with godot engine!
