Hi, people! ✌️

I've build "Cat a shooter 😼" for Android, and this is the last thing that I have to do for a while.

And now you can download this game for your Android device 📱 from Gamejolt: gamejolt.com/games/cat-a-shoot…

or from itch.io: xolatgames.itch.io/cat-a-shoot…

Also I've add instructions for building to it GitLab page 👉 gitlab.com/xolatgames/cat-a-sh…

So, I think that it's all, and see ya later.

Have a good day! 😉 😜 ✌️

A large orange lily. The long petals are curved backwards and have numerous small brown spots. The entire lily is glowing, as late afternoon sunshine hits the back of the translucent flower parts.
