This is a fantastic game! First off: the visuals and audio are awesome! The gameplay was really fun, it was the perfect balance of feeling really powerful yet still challenging and fresh. I love how the increase in power is not just a stat increase but an actual change in the way you fire bullets - by my 8th death I was a cat raining death on my enemies, which is awesome and funny! Great job!

(Not to brag or anything, but my High Score was 349702).

One of the best submissions i've tested so far. The gameplay is not only good, is addictive. The game is fun to play. Enemies are well designed and the difficulty of the game is perfect.
Also the idea of gaining new skills after rebirth is super cool.
I also liked the sounds and music.
Amazing work Enjil.

Wow, this was amazing! Super addictive bullet hell game, made better only by the cats vs. roomba theme :). I really enjoyed the design of the enemies and their attack patterns, and the difficulty curve felt smooth. Gaining new abilities on rebirth was a nice use of the theme, and it added some variety to the game since you could retry with a different approach to your 9-life skill tree. It gets pretty difficult as you progress, but that’s expected for this genre.

The art is crisp and the choice of enemies are hilarious. Roombas with knives, Roomba prince with teeth…I probably have a few more enemies to discover, and I’m looking forward to it. The music and sound effects also felt perfectly balanced, and added character to the game.

There was one small annoyance where the space key causes you to exit the upgrade screen, I often didn’t get to use my upgrades because I tapped it accidentally after dying.

Super polished and fun, I’m probably going to keep updating my highscore on this post. So far it’s a measly 39,000 (6 waves). Everyone else is so far ahead lol! Edit: Got to 200K, 15 waves :)

Yo, this game is so addicting. Ngl, I died several times just to get the power ups LOL. Zany is the best power up and was soooo juicy playing with it. Such a simple submission but very effective. Hope to play this on  mobile soon!

This is soooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood. I love the cat fighting these awesome enemies. I want to know how many waves there are but there are still lots of games to be played so I'll come back and try this out again. It is so addicting. 

One thing I noticed on waves 30 and above, there are cases when the enemies are still there but the wave is cleared. But it is just a very very very small one that I almost ignored that ahahaha. Awesome. can't wait for it to be released on Google Play Store/App Store hahaha

WOW! Absolutely loved this game so much! I know I've mentioned this before, but I absolutely adore your creative interpretation of "rebirth" by having upgrades with each death, and how cats have 9 lives - I mean so clever!! I'm not really much of a bullet hell game player as I am very bad at those games haha, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed because... who doesn't love cats?! Also really liked the wave titles and how you transitions between each level! I think one thing that would have been nice is sort of like a countdown after you upgrade your cat because sometimes I would die right after upgrading. Haha! XD And pressing space automatically exits the upgrade screen, which is the same key used to shoot, so sometimes I accidentally exited the upgrades before upgrading. All SUPER TINY insignificant thoughts though! Overall, I enjoyed this so much!! :D

Amaaaazing entry Enjl - 1.45M was where I lost my 9 lives :(
Level of mechanical/ux polish here is excellent, publish this ASAP

Perfect score for me. You've nailed this entry. Theme was perfectly on point, I love the take on the multiple cat lives. Amazing graphics / gameplay / audio, every explosion is super satisfactory. Smooth framerate when you have a gazillion bullets on screen. Outstanding game, I loved it!

This game is a blast to play and well polished. I love the awesome mechanics and graphics(a big fan of shoot em ups). I will love to see more updates of the game XD.

Everything is on point! Especially loved the music and sounds.
