haha, you and i had a similar 'going' theme. the puzzles just start to get interesting when you ran out of time! quite unfortunate.

Eheh, fun game ! Good work, it's smooth and bug-free. Pity it's so short !

cute idea, I like the solution to level 3

Thanks to all of you for playing and giving me feedback!

For my Jam version, I made the intro how I wished it had been, tweaked a level, and added a new level. I wish I had been able to do a lot more levels, too. =(

Haha. I like it, very cool.

Nothing like a bit of toilet humor.

Clever puzzles.

Cute idea, slick execution. Can get yourself stuck though if you fail to pick up the gold thing before you reach the toilet.

Nice effect on the title screen, how much time did you spend on that?

It's a bit weird to me that only the guy can pick up the bag of litter but he doesn't need to physically take it to the litter box: the cat instantly becomes able to use it. But it's a puzzle game, so that's not really too important.

Niggles: collision physics seems a bit off. No reset button?

An interesting change would be to make it so that the cat moves faster than the man. Would probably make it a lot harder but there might be some cool puzzles.

The sound made when bumping into a wall was both unnecessary and annoying! Good gameplay concept and nice execution, shame you ran out of time. Good community participation, especially liked your postmortem.

The game could do with a restart button for when you get stuck because the guy got to the toilet before picking up the litter. (Chalk that one up to sentences I didn't think I'd be typing today)

Otherwise, interesting idea, nice execution, and it's a shame I suck so badly at puzzle games like this. Nicely done.

nice. I like it :)

Crazy, just crazy. But somehow great as well!

zachstronaut 2011-05-16 16:41

Thanks for all of the feedback! Keep it coming. Tons for me to learn.

Draknek, I really like that idea of the guy and cat moving at different speeds. I also had an idea where the guy would hit beer or the kitten would hit catnip and then they would go in different directions rather than the same direction.

Great first entry - well done!

Thanks so much to everybody who took the time to rate my first Ludum Dare game! I'm so happy with pretty much 3's across the board. Very encouraging!
