Haha this is really cute, and the game parts aren't bad at all! well done.

simon123 2014-08-24 12:55

This is literally epic

2014-08-24 14:50

Really fun with cute and enjoyable graphics

orukinawa 2014-08-24 15:27

A bit too much dialogue but that's just me. Really cute art of minigames however :D

ethanwebster 2014-08-24 15:53

I love the hand-drawn sprites. Very nice game :)

ming_tea 2014-08-24 20:15

The art is great and this is pretty fun. I like it. :)

peerplay 2014-08-24 20:20

Cute game. The music was getting alittle tedious...but your better pianoplayer than me :P

reactorscram 2014-08-24 20:53

This better live up to the original cat planet that raocow played.

miziziziz 2014-08-24 21:42

the art was very suitable,ha ; did you use paint?
also, I agree with orikunawa; dialogue was a bit a much

hotboxgames 2014-08-24 21:54

I feel like I know how to be a human now

xhatchx 2014-08-24 22:21

Like it

fanttum 2014-08-25 01:29

Solid music. Deff a lot of text and the game is a little easy but fun

madmaw 2014-08-25 03:10

So cute! I'm no good at walking though

jas7229 2014-08-25 06:10

I loved having multiple minigames to play, and very cute graphics too! Your handdrawn graphics look at tad dull compared to your computer drawn ones, maybe you can look at using slightly more neutral shades for your digital art or just adjust contrast/saturation on scanned (?) art? c:
But overall great job! ^_^

foofur 2014-08-25 08:53

omg yes finally finished it! But I had to because CATS
this game is so adorable well done! Oh and I learned something new about conversation starters :O

badlydrawnrod 2014-08-25 09:10

The conversation starters were brilliant. But now I know that you can start conversations with other options than "Daaaaaaaaaad!"

I am proud of you.

Nice idea, I like the graphics. Impressed with use of Scratch which me and my children have also played with in the past. I thought walking level 20 was a tough demand, but maybe just because I was quite bad at it. Got to lv4...

keymaster 2014-08-25 12:46

I am really impressed by this! Besides maybe the walking minigame the other two were fun to play, the graphics were quite nice and the music was cheerful! Well done!

The cat swaying with the ba du du du ba du du du da da da da da da in the background is hypnotic. You could have some serious subliminal messages going on. Buy Friskies cat food... buy Friskies now... :)

The phone minigame was difficult. Around score 20 I could not read the messages anymore. However it was worth playing it a few times to get to the bwaaawaaa sound effect changing into a human. Nice job on getting all of this done in the time frame.

tosic 2014-08-26 11:59

It was really cute, and I like it, just there were few minor bugs in the minigames (I had to press f or i few times...), but eveyrthing has bugs. Overall it is a great game.

xgeovanni 2014-08-26 20:21

I have a theory that you don't actually exist and this whole thing is just a ploy by your father to get higher ratings on his games. Bu assuming that's no the case (it totally is):

The art is very nice and cute, but to be honest grinding minigames aren't a great game mechanic. Minigames are only good if they're short enough that you don't get bored of them.

Also it''s hard to read some of the text on the phones in the third minigame.

micahcowan 2014-08-26 21:20

Very nice! No way I'm playing to level 60 though.

I don't actually understand how the levels work. I got a score of > 140 in the typing game (finally just let them fall), but my level wasn't nearly that high (was plenty high enough to satisfy the security cat though). In the walking game, seemed like my level increased even on games where I really sucked.

Nice little piano ditty. Mine has piano music I played, too. :)

alvarop 2014-08-27 00:27

Cute game, felt very educational. Hand-drawn graphics are something I love, so you got something going there!

The only complaint I have, is that the game felt like a grindfest at a certain point and I gave up (lvl 60 in everything?... no thanks!). The mini-games are fun for a while and it's really cool to discover the content as you progress in the game.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-27 15:00

This is one of the most memorable games I've played! It was very original. I think a lot of kids would enjoy playing it. Good luck!

jangobrick 2014-08-27 15:03

Epic game! And one in Scratch, what a coincidence! I thought about whether someone would use that when the compo started, and now I know "yes"! This is literally the best game made in Scratch that I ever saw.
Good job!

mintarcade 2014-08-27 15:06

My 7 years old daughter enjoy the game. Very cool game, but dialogues times may need adjustments (click perhaps). Nice and cute game.

djwizardcop 2014-08-27 15:30

The typing minigame was fun.

rantt 2014-08-27 18:07

I really liked the cute hand drawn graphics, and the piano was nice. I enjoyed it, great job :)

thingostudios 2014-08-28 17:50

The purple kitty (I forgot her name) is SO ADORABLE. And you have to learn to walk!! AAAWWWWWWWWWW. I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.

lorniebear 2014-08-28 17:57

@Thingostudios: Thankyou so much! I'm glad that you like it! The cat's name is Marillion, who is also my cat at home! But my real cat at home doesn't have purple fur... :)

frogcheese 2014-08-28 19:13

Aw, this is just the cutest! Really love the hand-drawn art, it makes it feel like a storybook. And I think you've gotten a lot better at game-making too - you say that you didn't have as much time as you wanted, but you still fit three completely different mini-games in there! Great job! :)

honcho 2014-08-28 19:16

Really cute! Very entertaining, good way to educate :D

jukimv1986 2014-08-28 19:51

Cute little game, I loved the dialogues. I didn't like the grinding though, but very good effort!

dohan 2014-08-28 20:38

Cute game with very nice music. I've really enjoyed the walking minigame :3

steve 2014-08-29 21:38

The typing minigame was my favourite and I liked the hand drawn style!

bentog 2014-08-29 22:20

Very cute entry. Besides some minor glitches it's a good game overall.

jupiter_hadley 2014-08-30 00:10

Love the hand-drawn look :) I included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/1LqxxVg5Vuk

hbocao 2014-08-30 04:16

Awwww this is awesome! Great job! Keep rocking!

pjimmy 2014-08-31 16:11

like the use of hand drawing and the piano background music, you obviously had a lot of fun doing this cute game, well done :)

colapsydo 2014-08-31 19:59

This game is really well thought.
Everything is nicely done and presented. Some good game design.
Hand drawing and piano songs are creating a sweet atmosphere.
Mini games are fun (my favorite is the walking one), although for the talking exercise, at high speed it could be hard to read well the conversation starter.

suvidriel 2014-09-01 05:53

Haha this is amazing :D

p4nurge 2014-09-03 20:37

A very cute and creative concept with fitting art and sound. The minigames are a lot of fun and provide some nice variety. Good work!

(By the way, it's great to see a father and daughter entering the jam together! I hope to do the same with my son one day.)

drcicero 2014-09-05 00:04

Good audio. At first the graphics may turn you away, but then you notice that they fit very well with the story. Also, good combination of story + games, either part alone would have been strange.

I did like that you still progressed towards your goal even though when failed.

Only the talking minigame was kinda unbalanced. It begins too slow and it is already too fast.

Finally i know what it means to be an human!

robbiehunt 2014-09-07 19:38

You know? I liked this. It has a certain charm that really gets me. Please keep making games, keep progressing!

The graphics were easily my favorite part. Walking was quite challenging! I agree with others than perhaps getting to level 20 was a tall order - however my highscore was 15 so it's possible to get better if you stick with it.

Once again. Absolutely a wonderful game. You dad's right - you're SO gonna surpass him someday :P

snicklodocus 2014-09-12 03:01

I really enjoyed the art, music, and light-hearted mood. I wish the backgrounds were also hand-drawn, just so everything fit together. Great job! I hope to play your entry next time!

moosefly 2014-09-13 00:10

I liked pretty much everything it had to offer apart from the talking minigame, what with teleporting phones and all that :P. One time the phones actually followed me all the way to the "main screen" with the security cat! Grinding every skill to 60 was a bit tedious, but I guess it is indeed necessary if I want to be a convincing human.

A planet with only humans and no cats is just too lonely.
