Cute and pretty. Too bad about the unstable physics. Seems odd that it would deteriorate over time, even between rounds (floating point absolute timescale?). Works fine initially though, after refreshing.

wonderwhy-er

Looks good. Tough takes time to master some features like cat\'s still are under control after touchdown :) Overall 4 ;)

Jach

Neat game, even if the physics are a bit fudgy.

Yezu

Crashed it...

jhauberg

Hehe cats.

Endurion

Looking nice :)
It needs another key for \"dropping\" a cat so you can continue with the next.

PoV

Very nice. I was also able to crash it, but it took some funny high speed stuff to do it.

Hamumu

So hard! It seems a little too crazy for me to actually get a grip on in terms of physics. I never quite knew how the cats were going to act on impact. It\'s kind of fun to try to torque the whole tower around for a few seconds once you land one, though.
Definitely awesome looking. You DO know that owls could\'ve been made in this exact shape, right?

Notch

Very nice graphics! It feels like the platform is too small.

Codexus

Cute graphics!

kutani

The cats are adorable!

GBGames

There were a couple of times when the physics engine launched an otherwise stable kitty even if it was the only one on the ground, but otherwise, this was well put together.

Fun game with really nice graphics, I like the details, the clouds, the page wallpaper and the little flowers on the platform. :)

Wiering

Very nice, I played with it for a long time.

Perhaps you can ask the haxe mailing list about the physics problem. It seems like a very active community, they might be able to point out the problem or fix it.

dstrysnd

Really cute.

LoneStranger

Neat tower builder. I found it tough to get the cats to stay on the platform with anything more than about seven, but that's just lack of practice. Maybe different levels with goals would make this a complete and sellable game. And fixed physics, of course.

Deepflame

Haha, cute. ;)

Managed to get an.. uh.. pile :P of give-or-take 7 high. After that cats just exploded all over the place and I insta-lost. :'(

I can has stacked kitties?

Just stacking cats feels a bit limited though. Possibly more interesting IRL.

Was a bit annoying that you controlled the cat for so long after it had been placed. Because if you started on the next falling cats movement before it arrived... bam! Tower destroyed. Perhaps nothing for hurried people.

Cute but booooooooring. Maybe if the cats exploded...?

Frimkron

I'm glad you spent time tweaking the friction and such because the result is a stack-em-up which is much more forgiving and a lot more fun than some of the similar games I've played in this competition. Nice pixels, too!

pansapiens

Those are some funny looking owls :). Quite a different feel to most physics engines. Very nice. Cute sprites. Impressive non-rectangular collisions +tech points. No sound ?

sweet kittens

Very cute little game, and the little cats make it so much more interesting than if it were just shapes.

Morre

Super nice graphics.
Gameplay is good fun - the idea of using those cat shapes makes it all that much more fun than standard block piling. I love it!

Edge

Pretty nice game. I esspecially liked the art style. And since the physics are a bit forgiving, it was fun to play around without every single mistake making the tower crash.

Maybe it would have been fun to also make the cats shape suitable for horizontal placement... ?
