SPACE CAT
FOREVER
[ALPHA]
An earlier alpha of Space Cat Forever
(An early alpha of the original game)

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...

...wait that's not right! It's really more like some years back that I decided to try my hand at something outside my world of being a hobbyist web designer. The natural choice was of course learning to create my own video games. I soon found myself digging through articles, code examples, 3D models, and eventually turned to researching various game engines. The end result was an arcade style infinite Space Shooter with cakes that shoot lasers, breakfast / desert food asteroids, and meme-tastic power-ups (not pictured).

About this game

This two dimensional remix carries on the great cat vs food feud in outer space! Pilot your very own & all-new cat styled ship as you fight cakes that shoot lasers in an epic retro fueled adventure. Your fight will be perilous, but should you choose to accept this mission; the cats are working on rebuilding their power-ups, arming for incoming asteroids, and some all new ship designs so be sure to check back often!

Should you encounter any issues with your ship or the space time continuum (bugs in the game), use the form at the bottom of this page to report it. Be sure to be as descriptive as possible by including what you were doing and when it happened. The cats fueling this war are also open to suggestions so feel free to make 'em as well or simply share your high score until the cats make a leaderboard. They would have had it sooner but nap time is unfortunately part of their union bylaws.

Fun Fact: This game was made entirely with a mouse and keyboard, including game art.
