One night, the goddess Bast transforms into a mysterious black cat. Your mission is to protect your peaceful home and prevent ghosts from invading. Swing your claws, unleash magic, and attack the spirits as you defend your house through the night. As your score increases, the game becomes more challenging. Of course, you can also grow stronger—use the points earned from defeating ghosts to upgrade your abilities.
\nHow to play:
\nWASD - Movement
\nSpace - Sttack
\nF - Upgrade Panel
\nEsc - Back to Game
\n1,2,3 - Select your upgrade

\nI like the simple graphics and the little tune wasn’t annoying after many minutes :)
\nI think the building was too “sticky” as my cat kept getting stuck on it when I was trying to move around it to attack the baddies.

It was a little scratchy in a few ways that might be improved: Would be nice if bumping the tower only prevented motion on the one axis, and you ought to show the available points at all times, otherwise the player calls up the upgrade menu just to see his points. But all in all, I had a good time playing this, thanks! Score = 87

I like that it was very easy to understand and how quickly one can upgrade things. One thing that I wish you would do is have newer and stronger enemies come in a little less frequently until the player can understand exactly how the strong the new enemy is. I had a situation where I was very comfortable about upgrading one attibute when I should had probably upgraded another but since I ran into too much of the newly introduced enemy, I didn’t have enought time to make that decision the same was I would if I was slowly introduced to the newer enemy. I hope you can understnad what I’m trying to explain.
\nThe audio was nice too! I think the audio really made the game come alive. I appreciate you making your game!
\nThank you and my God bless you.

You should call .preventDefault() for all keyboard events to properly handle this.
This is pretty fun! I like the enemy design and variety\nFun and simple gameplay. The upgrades feel impactful
\nA couple of nitpicks–
\nBut yeah, overall, fun game! My high score so far is 113

The gameplay is ok, and the graphics too; maybe add different enemies (I didn’t see others but that may be because I’m not really familiar with wasd. Good luck!

The mouse-chasing part is fun, but the hitbox around the house felt a bit frustrating at times. It’s easy to get overwhelmed quickly. Also, the shop could use a little more readability to help the player make choices faster.
\n","games":["Witchcat"]},{"at":410686103,"author":"Christoph Schansky","login":"DerBenniBanni","gh":5499976,"text":"Nice core concept, maybe it would be good to add a little strategic elements, like an upgrade that lets you place a type of barrier for the ghosts or an upgrade that calls a handyman to repair the house (which first has to reach the house unharmed from ghosts)
\nSuch things would make it interesting much longer.
\nCongrats on finishing it - even with music - under 13 kB!

The cat and ghost are charming to me. I do feel there should be a better indication that you have upgraded with your points, as I found it confusing on if I had upgraded, so something along the side that shows the upgrades would be cool!

\nThe music was nice, but a little repetitive
\nI liked all the various upgrades available
\nFor me there was a bit too much spamming of the SPACE bar
\nI’m glad that none of the variety of ghosts seemed to hurt the cat

\nStarts off easy and then gets really hard and chaotic late on but in a good way.
\nThere is some issue with the collision detection against the house which was mentioned in other comments before, it prevents you from moving along the edges.
\nI felt the graphics weren’t very consistent, like the cat is in a very different style from the ghosts. I liked the diversity with the different types of ghosts though!
\nThe score is always shown but not the points available for purchasing upgrades, which would be more relevant. Also, the upgrade panel doesn’t tell you which options you can afford at the moment.
\nWell done releasing the game, good luck with the compo!
