A downloadable catformer for Windows

prototype for a cute but dark, moody, old skool cyberpunk catformer. 

developed in just 18 days for BIGMODE GAME JAM. i have been making rpg maker games for 22 years, but this is my very first ever Godot game. the amount I have learned about using godot in the last ~2.5 weeks of crunch for this game is astonishing. if dunkey does not play it on stream i will cry for eternity.

most but not all graphical assets by ansimuz, cat sprites by LuizMelo, music by audze and DOS88. full credits and screenshots to come, I have not slept in several days.



...when you pspsps into the void, sometimes it pspsps back...

story

the year's 2099 and Maus Industries is the largest megacorp in the world they more or less rule. subject #9 has just escaped from the maximum security biological testing wing on the 99th floor of the Maus Industries HQ arcology. to all appearances, #9 is an ordinary, well-fed housecat (although not always the SAME ordinary housecat, depending on who's observing).

in response to nine breaching containment, Maus security has scrambled pursuit drones, hazmat security QRF, trained scenthounds, and a military gunship. but that doesn't mean he's anything but a regular, every day cat...right?

Install instructions

the exe should just run the game in windows w/o the need for any extra steps, I think, Godot4 seems to be good like that.

this very incomplete pre-alpha build has only the first two levels. powerups and nine's special abilities haven't been implemented yet, nor has a savegame function. there's not a proper gameover either, so if you run out of lives (CAN U GUESS HOW MANY LIVES U GET???) the game straight up quits for you.
