Pretty nice, needs some work on animation for mice and juiciness when nabbing them, but overall it's cool :)

@Fough, Thanks for playing! I uploaded a postjam version where I got to fix some things I didn't get around to during the jam, feedback on the postjam version is also greatly appreciated.
Pretty fun game. The first time I played it my score counter wasn't visible, though. And the fat meter obscures the lives text. However the game is very enjoyable and very polished.
@stefvanschie, interesting bug you have there. Would you mind telling me what platform you ran it on and what the native resolution of your desktop is? The game should be running on 1920x1080 by default.
Very well executed, the fat and stamina mechanic was pretty interesting. I found out that you can abuse the mice to gather cheese in one place to make it reaser to catch them, don't know if that's intentional, but that was a good strategy.
@indrkl yeah it was a good strategy that would sadly make the game a little too easy down the line. I made it less of an issue in the postjam version though. Thanks for playing!
really good game! I love Cats. My game also has mice but in a different way :D
Can't launch. Have the "Program isn't run"(5) error.
For me it's a really good game. I'll tell you some things to improve. The collisions detection and the controls can be improved. And you have a problem with the visualization of the hud. But as I said, really good job, it's a funny game!
Damn those mice, stealing my cheese.
I liked the graphics, I particularly liked the idle pose for the cat (where it sits down), a nice touch. The music was very authentic for an arcade game. Good work also taking the time to put together an intro.
I think the area to work on would be when you get down to just a couple of bits of cheese? It's possible to just sit on them and grab the mice as they come to you - some sort of escalation at this point would be good.
On the whole a fun game! Well done, thanks for sharing!
Hey, I liked your game it was actually fun.
You can improve the audio and the graphics at some point but overall not bad!
And please go and try out my game!
Really funny and great realization ! Would have been perfect with sound effects.
Good job ! (My best score is 720).
@PlugRobots would you be able to give me some more information? What OS were you trying to run the game on? Maybe I can fix the problem.
Good entry. I like the pixel art, especially of the cat. It got pretty repetitive after a while, I would like to see you mix it up a bit, though the different mice are a good start. Sound effects and any sort of reaction to eating a mouse would make a world of difference.
Nice graphics...would have liked to see animations for mice. I've never felt so fat as a cat.
The fatness meter was a cool mechanic, but I don't think you did all you could with it. Also, why were there 4 cheeses but three lives?
The game is pretty fun and intuitive. I managed to score 500pts at first run :)
The "fat" mechanic is really well thought, also!
Well played!
At first, I was like "ok, that pretty easy". Couple of minutes later started to literally scream on mouse "PUT IT BACK YOU GODDAMN MICE!"
Liked the game. Looks, plays and sounds pretty good
Very good game
@thedashdude, it has one more cheese than there are lives because if there is only once cheese left you can just sit on top of it. Did not manage to think up a way around it other than this so far.
@Ekilibr, @onixowl, @SoulBound: Thank your for playing!
Nice! The art and sound are really great. Pretty fun though straightforward, some other mechanics might have been cool since with the way stamina worked I could just hold down space the entire time. Introducing the enemies earlier might help too, I only saw one green one and never saw any purple. Loved the intro too. Nice work!
I liked the game. I love cats. The mice AI wasn't the smartest though. Half of the time they walked right into me (even when holding cheese) instead of walking toward the cheese or back to the holes.
Also, I never saw a purple mouse.
The cutest game of LD37 :D, it's funny, looks great, sounds great, has great mechanics and it's fun to play! Would like to see some more levels and new level patterns though.
Very nice cute game :) It is easier to recover staminer that lightness :)
Got 1426 points :) Solid entry, simple design that works and is enjoyable to play, well done.
Cute graphics! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/9xy3qMJx7GQ
