Action Escape Kitty

Grab the little S-chips immediately after destroying enemies to score big. X to fire, C to convert bullets to score chips. No levels. Cats generally have 9 lives, but you only get 5 hearts. Hori pixel kitty STG power!

Wow, very nice looking game, and fun too. Movement speed is a bit slow for my tastes.

I like the game, but due to some bullshit in Flash sometimes the cat moves forward when I'm clearly not pressing forward.

Time Attack enemies shouldn't be random, it makes the scoring completely luck based.

Glad to see a flash shooter of this caliber! Unfortunately Normal mode also uses random enemy patterns, making it impossible to form any significant scoring strategies.

Just checked this game out after seeing a recomendation in edge magazine. Quite fun to kill a bit of time even if there isn't a great deal of depth. Gets points for the name alone!

Was about to post a link but I see people have already discovered this...

played a couple rounds and it's a bunch of fun :] really cute grapihcs, fun music too! the random element works against any consistent scoring but would make a fun mode in itself.
