More than 6 month in the making, it's finally finished and soon online for everyone to play and enjoy.

I made this game with my friend and colleague, Geertruida, and is presented by Basegames DNB.

This is a platform game with a unique twist: Almost everything is bouncy, so use every single bit of bouncy surface to get to that hard-to-reach platform. The mouse is used to aim your jump and jump. You can also walk and climb using the arrow keys to help you reach the goal.

You can collect fishcakes to unlock new characters and levels. The further you progress, the more will be available at the Locksmith (shop).

Enjoy the trailer and I hope you'll enjoy the game.

Looks pretty interesting.

[Dazz]

Does actually look interesting. How are you planning to release it?

[NICKtendo DS]

We'll launch a one page website with the game free to download and extras, including artwork (concept art, etc.), wallpapers and a comic that'll be updated weekly.

[NICKtendo DS]

I can now officially reveal the release date is October 17th.
I was hoping we could release it earlier, but it's decided.

This game is also entering the Dutch Game Awards, so my fingers are crossed. We were less than a day late to enter for the retro game catagory, which kinda sucks, but let's hope we'll get nominated.

Hey, this looks pretty cool. I cant wait for the release.

[NICKtendo DS]

The moment has finally come! The website is online and the game is released!
Go to www.basegames.nl/neko (link also in first post) to go to the website and download the game and extras!

Have fun playing Bouncy Cat!

I'd love to read what you think, so feel free to comment.

You can also follow our Twitter and Facebook, so you'll never miss a new comic update or possible Promo Code giveaway. Facebook and Twitter links are on the site.

Hooray!

As soon as I get out of school, I'm gonna try and download the game.

And just a thought, you could upload the sprites for this game right here at tSR! Because if possible, I could make a sprite comic based off of the game, because I'm really good at sprite comics.

[NICKtendo DS]

I already have a comic of my own. 5 pages will be uploaded every week starting today. The comic is 35 pages in total.
I'm not sure if I'm permitted to submit the sprites; I have to discuss that with the manager of Basegames.

[NICKtendo DS]

The wallpapers are finally up.
Due to chaos in communication, these weren't added when the site launched.
Three sizes of 5 different wallpapers are available: Neko, Princess, Waru, Hazumi and a Fishcake. They're on the Download page.

If you haven't played it yet, please give it a try, and if you have, please comment. I love to know what you think.

[NICKtendo DS]

I've played it a couple days ago. Its pretty challenging to get the controls down, but when you do, the game gets pretty fun. Right now i'm at the second world, but i'm trying to save up my fishcakes for Leaf so I can actually beat that one level.

I do have a question though, you just did a Halloween update, will you be doing other updates like Christmas updates?

[NICKtendo DS]

I do have a question though, you just did a Halloween update, will you be doing other updates like Christmas updates?

Yes

[sponge7325]

I've already beaten the game, i'm going to make a strategy guide pretty soon. I'll post it on this thread.

I do have one more question though, I just bought Golden Neko, but I see he does not have any powers. Is he for just saying you won, or do you do something with him somewhere in-game?

[NICKtendo DS]

Actually, Golden Neko is the best character there is. He is fast, jumps high, and has the benefits of normal Neko. However, fishcakes collected with Golden Neko do not count.
It's powers are not shown in the character select screen.
Have you tried clearing Time Trail challenges?
