Unique and engaging take on the theme with its space station survival and upgrade mechanics. The core gameplay loop of managing resources while defending against periodic enemy storms is both entertaining and challenging. The art style is visually appealing and well-executed, enhancing the overall experience.

However, there are some areas for improvement. The tutorial can be a bit confusing, and there seems to be a balance issue with the difficulty, particularly during enemy attacks. A clearer explanation of the game mechanics and more time for resource collection could improve the experience. Additionally, refining the audio and visual feedback, especially for the laser defense system, would make gameplay more intuitive.

Overall, it's a solid game with great potential. With a bit more polish and balancing, it could become even more immersive and enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

Also can you rate our game? Thx in advance

Really cool game! Love the art and the game feel. Upgrades were great, just one note is that the tutorial was a bit confusing wasnt sure whether it was a story or tutorial or both. But great game can't wait to see more! :D

Super fun and super beautiful! Good job!

the art is phenomenal in this game 

the game does lack a bit of polish and game juice but the core gameplay loop was fun

however i did find it a bit difficult

sometimes the laser defence wouldn't damage the aliens, and i didn't find enough time to gather resources and to understand what the upgrade shop had xd

maybe if you just increase the time between the alien invasion to something like 2 minutes it would fix the difficulity issue

great game overall ❤️

Very cool Dome Keeper-esque game. Good take on the theme, awesome art! Congrats and good luck!

Cute little game with great art, I would have loved to see more animations for the laser defence for example.

Well done on your submission!

This was a really fun and beautiful game! The pixel art was awesome, and there is a whole lot of depth to the mining, processing, and purchasing gameplay loop that is really impressive for the short game jam time frame.

This may be an issue where something went over my head during the opening narration, but I was a bit confused on what all the different progress bars on screen indicated. Having a quick in-game tutorial or some label text that comes on screen to point out the meanings of the different UI elements could be useful for guiding the player. That's a really minor observation, though, and it didn't detract from the awesome project.

Great work!

Not sure if doing circles with the laser oneshotting every monster was intended, but definitely makes the game more fun
Nice work by everyone

nice game, artwork looks very nice, and cool idea with the 3 deks, could use a minimap :)

nice nice nice nice. The only problems, it looks like some sperm trying to enter an ovum hshshsh. LOVED IT!

Loved! great game, incredible pollished

Cats in Space

1. Fun mining game divided between mining and attack phases

2. Movement is fun and responsive, the ship is well designed and has different key areas that are nciely marked so you know where to go. It looks like a liveable habitat

3. Art is fantastic and even has playable characters (however when you leave the spaceship you need an airbubble even though youre already in a spacesuit haha

4. satisfying sounds and song, the loop is a bit short on the song though, but its a catchy reverb

5. Mining phase is too short, attack phase is too difficult, the weapon does not much damage, and no visual or audio indicator it's working except enemy health bars. The game bugged for me during an attack in which I couldnt damage the enemies with my fence. Also hard to find my ship again after ive left it, maybe there was an indiciator arrow pointing back to where it was but I didnt see it

would like to see this game polished up, it was fun!

I really like the game and the overall atmosphere of it! Like many said, I wish to increase the time for collecting resources, also I wish the skip text button for tutorial is like, not skipping whole paragraph, but to skip to the finish of that paragraph. The text speed was a bit slow. Otherwise everything's insane!

Amazing atmosphere, well polished.  Very beautiful work.  A top game for the jam for sure.

Hee-ho. Cool game, good experience
