Catlateral Damage

Catlateral Damage is a first-person video game in which the player plays as a cat. The goal of the game is to knock as many of the player character's owner's belongings onto the floor as possible. There are game modes in which the player can either race against the clock and get a certain number of items onto the floor as fast as they can, score as many points in a 2-minute time-frame, or a free play mode where there is no clock and there are no points.

Development
The original version of Catlateral Damage was created for the August 2013 7DFPS game jam. Development for a full release began in September 2013.

On 13 January 2014, Catlateral Damage was released on Steam's "Steam Greenlight" service. There was a Kickstarter campaign for the game that ran between 16 June 2014 and 11 July 2014. The full version of the game was released on Steam on 27 May 2015.
