ok i made it to 178lbs. my cat was huge!!

Very cute. You might want to up the percentage of unhealthy items though -- simply spamming the green button allows you to slowly but steadily gain weight. Creative interpretation of the two-button theme. :)

dakkon69 2015-12-15 02:41

Yeah that's a good point Zlaine, thanks for the feedback!

Cool simple game, I wish it was a little more clear which foods he liked/disliked without having the play it. I also wished I had a hotkey for the speedup/slowdown. I felt when it was going normally it was too slow and sped up was too fast.

Full speed + green button spam = win
Too easy.

Cute game!

Made it to 60 by mash clicking eat.

Sometimes the randomness can come up with all good food or bad food, so you get some weird runs sometimes. :)

Wonderful game, super silly. Now I know why my cat is so fat!

Pretty damn funny and a really good style and presentation for LD! Gameplay is a bit simple but it's part of the charm, it's a really good micro-game and the music makes it chill and relaxed. Good work, looks like everyone pulled out the stops for this :D.

A glorious day for cat feeders. This was great. Who doesn't like fat cat?

This was kind of like our game haha but I liked the concept of having different foods and being able to see your score! After my cat grew, the tail being in a different spot threw me off but overall, this was a great game.

I love fat cats. Was a bit confused by the tail, thought I was swiping the food with it. Cute game.

That was a lot of fun, got to 159 lbs! Enjoyed the music too. Good use of the two-button theme.

Does what it says on the tin! Holy hell does that conveyor belt start shoveling food at you fast after a while. All of the cat sprites getting fatter were great, and the cutesy uke/xylophone music was fitting in an odd way. Cute game!

Fun little game. I love how the food pile builds up at the end for the pieces you miss

stmatn 2015-12-16 14:18

Nice came :)
I like the gfx and audio very much!
It would have been nice to have an indication of the area, where button presses will affect food, because sometimes you press a button before the food can be eaten/discarded, what may disturb the flow.
The other thing is, that keyboard input would have been nice. Especially on later levels you don't have the time to move your eyes all over the screen to aim for the buttons, click it and move your eye back to the front of the conveyor belt. It would help, it you wouldn't have to take your eyes off the conveyor belt at all ;)

All in all nice work!

Pro:
+ Very cute
+ Fun to see the cat growing fat
Con:
- Game seemed to spawn mostly unhealthy food, so it was rather easy
Obs:
o Got 329lb selecting the food
o I wished I could work in that factory... =(

Great job!

dakkon69 2015-12-18 08:25

@StMatn Agreed, we couldn't come up with a good indicator for where to feed/eject the food and didn't just want a "green" zone or whatever. Keyboard input is actually in, I just commented it out, I couldn't get it to fire off the Animations (Damn you Unity Mecanim!) so I just didn't include it in the build, wish I got it working I totally agree on the not wanting to watch the controller. :)

@nihilaleph Thanks for the comments, yeah the randomness does tend to spawn more unhealthy food, I think we needed more food in general, ahh well!

didi 2015-12-19 01:13

lol! made 118 lbs, this was delicious fun!

muel 2015-12-24 05:41

Funny game

But I'd never let my cat do this in real life haha

euske 2015-12-24 11:40

But, but... you can get fat with bananas too!

crucknuk 2015-12-26 21:54

Nice entry! I did not know that a cat could reach 420lbs :p This game is cute, good job ;)

lereveur 2015-12-27 01:37

Ha ha, what a funny idea you get here ! Well done ! :D

dakkon69 2015-12-30 08:09
