Your boss, Catniss, threw you in the woods and “encouraged” you to collect gems from stray cats and their buddies.\nThe more gems you collect, the more help she’ll give you. However, you don’t get to choose the kind of help she gives.\nGet the pink gem from Big Black Cat before she’ll save you. She’s also hidden some catnip on you that attracts them to\nyou; the effect gets stronger over time. Don’t let them touch you; they scratch.

\n

Note: While a higher score is better for your boss; a lower score shows more skill.

Cute graphics and sound. The main character’s sprite is not cropped correctly on my PC (Windows + Chrome) but it’s a very small error

The core mechanics are there. I feel it needs a little more polish and balance. I hope you find time to keep building on it to see where it can go!. Good job!

Good fun to play! I liked the little death animations and sound effects of enemies turning into gems.

A very simple Vampire Survivors-like. Too bad we can’t choose evolutions, but the changing music is a nice touch that keeps it engaging.

Quite a fun game

\n

It was easy to pick up and play, the sound effects and graphics were awesome

\n

It was good to have music, but I quickly had to mute it as it was a bit loud

\n

I like the auto shoot/aim

\n

Quite quickly there are too many enemies to be able to get the gems as they get covered over by the hordes chasing you

Ha! I defeated the big black kitty!

\n

I like the many different upgrades, and initially i thought it would be nice to choose the options myself, but i have to admit, that the auto-upgrades dont interupt the gameplay.

\n

After a while it gets really intense.

\n

Good job!

The music and sounds engages the player. The difficulty is good not too hard, too bad I couldn’t see the endgame.

Good implementation of a survivor game, well done! I managed to defeat the Big Black Cat.

\n

I wish I could’ve given the choice over what to upgrade though. Also, I could still level up after everything has been maxed out, not sure if it makes any difference at that point?

\n

The gameplay is smooth and addictive enough, the difficulty was maybe a bit too easy for me but it kept my attention until the end!

\n

I would’ve liked a bit more differentiation over the other games in this genre but a solid entry nonetheless!

Very cool entry; I very much enjoyed playing this one!

\n

The controls are pretty good but I wish movement speed was a tad faster, just to make it feel that much more actiony.

\n

Music and sound are pretty good too. Would be better if there was maybe one more track or two that it randomly switched too. But not bad for a js13k entry :)

\n

Overall I think this is a pretty good and complete entry. Nice job!

I love horde survival games! This was a well made version. The ramping music was ok, but I would probably have saved those bytes and instead implemented some kind of triggered effect such as a bomb, temporary speed boost or temporary invincibility.

What a nice survival game! I managed to beat it, but it was quite challenging. Controls are good, the feeling of progression too and the stress increases as the music gets faster and faster.\nA very solid entry for this game jam, good job.

The music ought to be a bit longer. As is, it gets annoying after a while (thanks for including a mute switch!)
