Nine lives is a retro platformer, harkening back to the good old days of 8-bit goodness with stylish, crisp, monochrome, pixelart graphics and a quirky chiptunes soundtrack. Guide Felina, a tiny kitten, through dark caverns and spooky castles, filled with monstrous octopuses, snakes, zombies, bats and vampires. Along the way you will meet helpful natives, who may give you magical items to help you in your quest. But be careful. Remember, cats only have nine lives.

Description

This Mac demo consists of the first world: that is, 5 levels including the first boss fight. It is pre-alpha, so I am looking for very basic feedback, such as does it actually work on other people's systems.

I played and enjoyed it quite a bit! The graphics and music are awesome, and the controls are almost perfect. (Except I think a run button would make it a bit nicer.)

The only problem is, the levels are pretty same-y and not extremely engaging. I played until the third level, where I died, so that's just something to think about. I wasn't insanely addicted or anything. I think there's a really promising start here but I think you should add something to improve the excitement factor.

Like, what if, when you get the key, it's like Wario and you have to rush to the door, and maybe an alternate path is opened where certain blocks can be opened when you have the key. Just a thought, but I think it'd add a little more excitement
