Submission for the 8th Leeble game jam.

With the theme being "Another Life" the saying about how cats have nine lives popped into my head...
Here you play as Garry,  who lives the life of an ordinary house cat, but at night he lives a secret life, 8 others to be exact, and with those he fights crime & slime.

You got a total of 8 different lives to last you the whole level. (don't worry it's very short.) 
Each life plays a little differently.

Knight Garry: Trained in chivalry is this cat in moonlit armor, he makes melee strikes with his blade, and runs in his armor effortlessly. (He tried to find a small horse, but no such luck.)

Janitor Garry:  He's here to clean up streets, originally he was going to suck up foes with his vacuum and shoot them back out, but for now slapping foes with air works surprisingly well.

Bard Garry: Armed with a lute, his masterful strokes sends notes striking foes all around him. (He also plays at the local cafe on Tuesdays)

Baseball Garry:  Garry is up to bat, hitting enemies with a whack! (Originally was meant to reflect projectiles, but orange juice got everywhere and I still haven't cleaned up the code.)

Ranger Garry:  Rolling from the west (side of the house), comes Ranger Garry.  He's ready to keep the peace with his peace keeper. (though it's pretty loud when talking. )

Archer Garry:  Garry has his bow, notched and ready to rain wood and iron.  (He thinks the animated Robin Hood should've featured a cat instead of a fox.)

Detective Garry:  He goes around solving local crimes for the local population, taking on harrowing cases like "Someone swiped my canned tuna! >:0" (Originally was going to create a friendly clone of whatever enemy he took a picture of, but... that ended up being way out of scope for the lens.)

Ninja Garry:  Furthering  his cat-like cat reflexes, he fights with close up attacks and when dashing he instead vanishes to avoid taking damage. 


I learned a lot over the jam, maybe I'll update this at a later time, add the missing features, make original music & more graphics, make a full level, make Bard Garry sing, etc.

Majority of graphics are from Brackeys' asset pack.
Music and most sound effects are from some Epic Stock Media packs I got a few years go.

Special thanks to the Leeble Community!
