Meowstrum's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
Meowstrum is a game where a cat pirate crew find themselves in the midst of a whirlpool, caught in the rotating current while fighting off mythically lackadaisical foes. Spin is captured via the movement system, with the boat having to deal with the forces of the spinning maelstrom. Spin is also captured in the environment art/layout, with the background rotating and the waves swirling around the vortex's central point. Finally, the cats, desperate to escape, "rotate" through the various ammo types (in the form of random commonplace goods) every 10 barrages.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?

Hey There!
Great Game! Very creative solutions including the game name! Rated! ;)
Thank you if you visit and rate mine as well!
All the best!
I really like the concept of riding this boat and the vortex spinning there, so well thought for the theme we have in the jam and really funny and cool aesthetics, gameplay is great, I rate gameplay and graphics on top but all is good really, also if you can, please rate my game, thanks!!
What a fantastic game :D I love the aesthetic of it all , sound effects were 10/10! Very creative <3
I love the improvisation in the sound effect haha. Honestly this is a pretty solid game. Personally I like to focus on the design more than the aesthetic and I totally get what you're trying to do with the waves. It really captures the unique feel of a boat riding around the vortex. I think it'd be even more fun if during some boss attacks, the waves would speed up or become more intense to capture the desperateness of the cat escaping. Overall I love the vortex movement feature.
Really lovely game ! A bit unfair against Poulpo, the bullets platforms are really hard to dodge. Other than that, I love the execution of the idea, with voluntary cheap sound effects, and the wavesheet feature feel really cool ! Good job :)
