Whiskered Away (2018)

make a tutorial lazy developer can't understand what kind of game did you want to made.

Whiskered Away (the name being a poor pun from the famous Ghibli film "Whispered Away" having nothing to do with this) is a multiplayer only, browser/Flash tier arena brawler game with MS-Paint tier graphics and some kind of lulzy cat theme, but with the lazy 2D Flash type "art", it's hard to tell what the pixel blobs are.

Three players take control of treasure-hunting cats attempting to collect as many valuable "shinies" as possible while staying alive until time runs out. The fourth player becomes Poseidon, whose job is to stop those feline thieves. This three-versus-one arrangement gives the game its identity because both sides have completely different responsibilities. The cats need to move quickly, search for treasure, avoid danger, and potentially coordinate their actions, while Poseidon has to watch several targets at once and use his powers to disrupt their plans. The resulting matches are intentionally chaotic. Having three independently controlled cats creates plenty of opportunities to distract th…
