You start at your master’s bedroom.
\nGo down to the first floor to fight the first wave of enemies.

I’m not sure if you just made the game too fast, or didn’t account for higher refresh rate screens? But ya I couldn’t really play it beyond running around and checking out the super cool environment.
\nIf you tweak the speed in a directors cut I’d love to try it again, as it looks absolutely amazing graphically!

Loved the house and how the cat can jump onto different things. The visuals are bright and colorful, maybe even a little too chaotic for 3D. The controls are super fast - so much so that we had a hard time accomplishing anything. This could be because of my 144Hz monitor if the frame time isn’t factored into the game logic. All in all, great work!

The number of assets used in your world is incredible. The game difficulty is challenging but it is very fun to play. I really liked the concept of the “cat” first person shooter :) Great entry!

I got flashbacks to the early Might and Magic games. I like how small the cat is compared to the house and rooms. It feels like I’m actually a small BLACK wizard cat. Good interpretation of the theme, and cute animations.
\nThe controls could use strafing (e.g. q and e) to make it easier to dodge bullets from other wizard cats. Some sounds would be awesome!

It would have been well to have some audio too. Also, you say in the description to shoot with “z” (and I believe it should be in-game, because it would be more intuitive with a click in my opinion), but only “w” worked for me. That aside the game is great, congratulations!

\nRegarding the controlls, i wish there was a mode for strafing. Or rotation with the mouse and WASD wor forward/backward and strafe left/right.
\nAnd SFX would be nice to have…
\nGood game, overall

As someone else mentioned a strafe key would be conducive to even more carnage. Nevertheless, great game, great job!

\nI really enjoyed the cat and thought the ‘jump’ graphic and ‘fire’ graphic were really humorous.
\nThe only thing I would mention is the lack of music and sound effects - but if it was a choice between this and more rooms etc - I think you made the right choice.
\nWell done!
