In Kuro Neko (Black Cat), you take on the role of a guardian cat protecting your owner from ghost entities. Navigate through a dark world, intercepting ghosts before they can reach your owner.

Everything moves real quick and it’s hard to aim given how small the ghosts are.
\nI wish I could use my mouse to control the cat, I feel like it would make the game a bit less frustrating.
\nSame suggestions as your other entry: music, sound effects, visual effects, and difficulty polish, and this could a really solid one!

Even though the game was interesting, I felt like it was a little too basic. I wish there was some kind of power up system or something a little more of a challenge. Anyway, thank you for making this game.

\n“During an intense night, the owner of a black cat could not sleep. He went down and started walking in a graveyard. Now, as the black cat, you must protect your owner and save him from ghosts.”
\nThis kind of introduction will immediately capture the player’s attention and set the mood for the game.

Having to battle against the set movement directions was a bit difficult and one time my cat scrolled off the screen with no visual indicator to prompt me which way I needed to move to appear on-screen again.
\nGood effort :)

Got to 46 on the first try.\nI didn’t like that the obstacles don’t do much, and the owner simply walks away from them a while.

\nHowever, to me the game felt too fast and I had a hard time controlling the cat and actually stopping ghosts. Mind you that I have a high refresh rate monitor (170hz) and maybe the game doesn’t account for that?

It got difficulty quite quickly. It was a little hard to position the cat in exactly the right spot at times to kill the ghosts. Some audio and death animations would really help add to the overall experience.

\nI like that there was a variety in the ghost types and that there was some planning required when the solid blocks came around, not to mention the floor moving.
\nThe graphics were well made and the game was easy to understand.

\nOn my first run my owner got stuck between two walls and couldn’t move for the rest of the game. It was a bit harder. When owner moves it’s more fun!
Decent game overall, it fits the theme pretty well, and the gameplay is decent too; it’s too bad some of the ghosts are that fast from different directions though. Congratulations!
