Tell us about your game!
Shadow Whiskers is a fast-paced, action-packed bullet hell shooter with a magical twist. Players control a powerful wizard cat, Destiny, as she defends her kingdom from invading mice wizards. Using a unique blend of alchemy and shadow magic, players must navigate challenging levels, defeat hordes of enemies, and overcome powerful bosses.

The game features a dynamic gameplay loop inspired by R-Type, where players collect potions and trinkets to enhance their spells and adapt to different challenges. With a focus on core mechanics and a simple yet engaging story, Wizard Cat delivers an exciting and addictive experience.

Despite time constraints, the prototype successfully captures the essence of the game, showcasing the potential for a full-fledged title. Future development will focus on expanding the inventory system, adding more complex spell interactions, and refining the overall gameplay experience.

Shadow Whiskers is a labor of love created by a two-person team, combining programming expertise and artistic talent to bring this magical world to life.

I had fun playing this! I really loved the dialogue. I liked the 3D models too! It was fun spamming out lots of orbs--I think charging your shot didn't feel quite as rewarding though (mashing seemed to be play, maybe charging your shot can have a larger area of effect?). Fun game--good job overall! :)

Yes! I wish I had more time to introduce a smarter way for some of the mechanics! Thank you for playing!
