Oh my god, I loved this! Took me a bit to understand how to properly pet Mr Snugglebutt, but once I did I really enjoyed this. Very fun idea.

It took me the longest time to realise you needed to use the "loudness" (size) of the meows to work out where Mr Snugglebutt wanted to be stroked and get a heart! Really needed instructions. Once I had that down though I got defeated by the blue guy. Damn blue guy. I got to 10 hearts.
I pet the kitty and got a secret agent to walk the hall. I'm not sure I understand the controls for petting the kitty.
bradleypollard hit it on the head: the fact that i need to find the position-changing hotspot on the cat to make him purr should be better explained. otherwise the game is pretty damn neat.
When I finally figured it out, I can honestly say I enjoyed it.
Thanks for playing guys! I've watched a couple of my friends play too, and petting the cat is pretty non-intuitive. Better would be petting the cat the way Catz does it, with a meow box and sound that scaled in size continually as you got closer. I'd also not put the first hotspot not so far off to the side.
I love the feedback - you guys rock!
It took me a little bit to figure out, but when I did, it was great! I was only able to score 8 hearts... Great game!
