Enjoyable game. Yeah, there are some issues that need to be ironed out, but very playable, looks and sounds great. Loved the cats vs. cucumbers concept. Maybe that's what my cats are having nightmares about when I see them twitching while they're sleeping? Nice job.

Developer

Thanks a bunch for playing and for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed the cats vs. cucumbers concept – it could really be what cats dream about! 😹

Cute and fun, but had some frame rate issues after a few waves! Love the cats vs cucumbers lmao

I killed every cucumber ever, at a glorious 5fps XD

This was a nice one. I especially liked that scrolling intro actually! In my second attempt, I did notice that the uncollected coins from the first attempt were still on the field, and that buying things didn't actually subtract the coins from my total. It wasn't long before I had a hundred guard-kitties roaming around the town, but that was funny in and of itself. Cool game!

Developer

Haha, thanks for the entertaining feedback! Glad you enjoyed the game and the scrolling intro. Hundred guard-kitties chaotically roaming around is definitely by design! 😸

I've seen templates like this used more often for story driven, casual RPG. You gave it some action. Nice. I was really curious to know what the clicking sound was feedback for -- there was such chaos. Is it striking the enemy gherkins, is it the gherkins striking the cardboard boxes?

It definitely played better in desktop, but it still was hitting lags as the enemy wave and the friendly cat count started ticking up.

Developer

Thanks a bunch for playing and for your insightful feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the action twist. The clicking sound was indeed meant for striking the enemy gherkins (had to google that word haha) 😸😸 Your input is super helpful!

GameDev.tv is the only reason I know gherkin, courgette and aubergine, too, when they were building Glitch Garden. 🥒 🍆

I loved the cat dialogue sound haha! It felt fast paced with the repair/fight cucumber cycle and it was fun! Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for your wonderful feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the cat dialogue sound - we did it ourselves! Your kind words mean a lot to us!

I don't know what I just played, but it was quite something, had fun though!

Developer

Haha, glad you had fun, even if it was a bit of a wild ride! Thanks for giving it a go!

Graphic, music, animation, gameplay loop all feels great! The later waves do make my laptop screams for help though, but I guess a little optimization should fix that.

Developer

Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the game :)

Cute theming and matching SFX! Meowing dialogue felt nice.

Liked the way the intro scene was set up, scrolling transition to the starting scene was a nice touch.

I was sort of thrown off by what it meant to repair stalls, or what they did, but perhaps it was due to missing some dialogue. But it was clear that i had to kill the monsters during each wave! Got a bit visually busy in the later rounds.

Solid entry!

Thank you playing! This is my first game, so I really appreciate you took time writing feedback!

Lovely game. I like the mix of vampire-survivors mixed with tower defense. I especially appreciate the cat theming. The sounds were pleasant too, and they reminded me a lot of Bee and Puppycat. The game could definitely be optimized to lag less, but I overall, I really enjoyed this game!

Developer

Thank you for taking time to play the game and to give a very nice feedback! I am definitely going to check Bee and Puppycat now!

Fun game! The art is pretty and I love the little sounds the cats make, lol. It can get quite laggy when there are a lot of enemies, but other than that I enjoyed the mechanics.

Also, the intro is super cute! :3

Thank you! I made all of cat sounds “myself”, glad you liked them! About performance… it definitely could use some optimization/balancing haha

Submitted(+1)

Really cute and fun! I ran into a few bugs and I wish there was more time between rounds to pick up all the money and experience fish, but overall I loved the game.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I agree with you that peaceful phase could use more time!

Loved it! These cats are so courageous, fighting against cucumbers! :D

Developer

They really are! Thanks for playing!

Cool intro, I like how the cats say something to you when you leave the proximity of their box. Played for a while and dont know what to do, maybe its endless but there are some boxes that are empty and I cant interact with them. The attack feels a bit weird at the start as you cant aim it but it kind of gets solved wih the cat guards which are a great addition!

Haha I guess you could tell that game loop is a nightmare! Thanks for playing!
