Development of this game has ceased in favor of Terminal Overload, its free and open-source spiritual successor.


Revenge Of The Cats: Ethernet is a free experimental online multiplayer FPS with unique gameplay: Alternate between the pure energy "ether form" and the physical manifestation called "CAT". Capture territory and defeat enemies using a multitude of weapons, grenades, and target-seeking discs that can be deflected and steered around corners. Thanks to the territory capturing and the fact that you can only change into CAT form on friendly territory, this game is much deeper than your usual abstract shooter.

Multiplayer isn't working. Whenever my friend tries to host an arena, I don't see it. Also, Global chat is the only thing that works. (oh, so does singleplayer)

LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!! Everyone should get this. Also if you're having trouble finding people to play with, go to global chat and press the "ask for a game" button. Sometimes you won't get a response, but more often then not, someone will be willing to play with you.
