CatProtector is an entry for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2025.

Update 28.05.2025: Fixed bullet visibility and aiming consistency.

It was developed in around two days of part time work by myself.

You need to protect the cat from the attacking zombies. But beware, the cat will grow bigger if. Some would say too big for this tiny world!

Keep the food and hydration meter up using water from barrels and food dropped by the killed zombies! The food is a pickup, the water needs to be collected manually.

If health, food and hydration are above 75% the cat will grow. If food and hydration are above 75% the cat will heal itself.

Controls:

Move with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys and shoot by clicking/holding the left mouse button. You can interact with the barrels using the E key standing next to them. They show their current amount of water.
