This game is really polished! I love the art style and the music is absolutely beautiful! Gameplay is a bit confusing at first but when you get hang of it it's really fun and engaging. Great job!

zblah 2017-12-05 01:37

Very cool concept and a well polished game! Too bad i had some weird bugs when i couldn't save my cats even when i was near them :(

thetophatnoob 2017-12-05 02:43

It looks and sounds really good. A little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes really fun.

pashok 2017-12-05 07:38

@chong-lee @@thetophatnoob

Thank you for your feedback guys and I hope you are having a good time here

@zblah

Yes, unfortunately the game can contain a bit of bugs, but we tried to make the game in 72 hours without cheating, and the game contains a lot of interactions, so some bugs are unfortunately available :)

rainbowjam 2017-12-05 08:15

The non-steering interactions are quite simple; I felt like there wasn't too much to it but alongside the steering and the feels it was pretty breathtaking for me Really nice concept, soothing music and clean visuals. All that together and you have quite a beautiful game :heart:

The doge is strong with this one. Seriously though, the art in this game is fire.. A++.. 10/5

cercle 2017-12-05 08:53

Art style is fantastic. Just a heads up that in my browser(chrome) F1 brought me to a new chrome help tab, taking me out of the game. The piano is wonderful, those little accidentals every so often were really, really special and did a lot for the ambiance.

chao 2017-12-05 09:04

The music fits really well, overall a great mood. I was having terrible anxiety over losing any of the cats, which is good! I found that sometimes it was impossible to drag cats onto the boat, probably just a hitbox issue or something. Also sometimes my cats would go flying off the raft for whatever reason. Other than those small bugs, it was a really great experience.

infraxion 2017-12-05 09:07

A beautiful game, so relaxing c:

skigfx 2017-12-05 10:21

good as concept, still need some polish

plusminus 2017-12-05 14:47

good one, but i'd only want to decrease your score for difficulty tune coz too fckn hard to save all cats)

pashok 2017-12-05 14:52

@skitaless Why would you do that? The game is really simple, you need to try hard not to finish it

dawik9000 2017-12-05 14:59

Loved the art style, gameplay was a bit confusing and i couldnt save any cats when they were on the edge

kakarotsan 2017-12-05 14:59

Nice style and concept.

Some issues: Sometimes cats would randomly jump off the raft for no reason. I wasn't able to bring cats on the edge facing the goal onto the raft. Steering itself felt like a full time job.

pashok 2017-12-05 15:02

@kakatotsan

They can jump off the raft due to fighting, or they are sliding while standing on the edge. Yes, sometimes you are not able to grab kittens on the edge, unfortunately :(

We will fix it eventually! :)

valentin4311 2017-12-05 15:03

Nice game, I couldn't save the cats on the raft edges. I failed to control the raft even though I pressed E key. I would love to see it without weird glitches

szekeres-szabolcs 2017-12-05 15:04

Good atmosphere and fun to play but i wasn't able to pick up the cats from the fats edge.

badosz 2017-12-05 15:05

Good graphics and gameplay , nice job.

orcdraco 2017-12-05 15:16

I see Doge, I play the game. Doge is life! Nice graphics and sounds. The music is very relaxing. But as mentioned above, I have problems saving the cat as well... But overall, good game! :)

xarras 2017-12-05 15:16

Very graphics, such chill, much music, WOW. I wanted to leave the comment here, but I must say other stuff, for example that the map is very well done, being able to move the boat right and left is a good way to improve the experience.

cammy 2017-12-05 15:26

This is hilarious. I love the graphics. Gameplay is a little confusing (how do I prevent the cats from falling off?) but overall I liked it a lot.

ehe 2017-12-05 15:28

Really nice graphics and atmosphere of the game! Monitoring cats on the raft was really difficult, but that's the point of the game, right? (: Спасибо за игру (:

asghardian-game-studio 2017-12-05 15:30

Adorable art concept and innovative (and yet a little confusing at first) gameplay.

Cats randomly suicide sometimes. Couldn't save any cats from the ocean. Opening the Help menu using F1 does not work on Chrome.

antoine-vion 2017-12-05 15:43

Very nice graph ! I liked it a lot !

failedstarfish 2017-12-05 15:45

Really nice and polished game, I liked the graphics and music especially. Bit confused by the gameplay but really nice entry.

grahamliphts 2017-12-05 15:51

Finally i can try this game ! i was looking at it from 2 days now ^^ and it's nice, cute and smooth I love it !

royoyo 2017-12-05 15:51

Took a few tries to win. That's good! Really nice music! Cats voices make me look back to see if my own cat is OK :)

dibu13 2017-12-05 16:25

It made me forget my allergy to kittens for a moment and I wanted to hug them all :heart_eyes:

stmatn 2017-12-05 19:08

This game is so great :) The graphics look awesome. I love the doge ;) However, the game is not that easy, because the cats seem to like to fight often and the game didn't let me pick up new cats sometimes. The music sets the mood really nice. Awesome work!

kirill-venzhin 2017-12-05 21:10

Очень забавно) аудио на высшем уровне! удачи на джеме=)

nightfall 2017-12-05 21:33

Great Game! On my first try I lost all my kittens and then the raft sank. It's an adorable game with great atmosphere

lhouyez 2017-12-06 01:01

SO CUTE !!! , really love this , dank meme and funny idea GG dude.

jay-valencia 2017-12-06 01:22

best art concept i saw, beautiful game, I'd buy on steam

roaring-cat-games 2017-12-06 03:12

This concept is great. I felt bad for all of the cats my character couldn't pull from the water.

It gets really hectic, and with the music it adds an odd sadness to the game, knowing some of those cats just aren't going to make it.

The controls are a little bit difficult to grasp, as sometimes I wanted to steer, but could only break-up cat fights. Some cats couldn't be pulled from the water as well, usually on the front edge of the raft.

The raft damage and steering view are very well done. This is great jam work!

asellio 2017-12-06 04:25

Nice game, I couldn’t save the cats on the raft edges.

interpol 2017-12-06 12:53

Why is the music so sad?

But the game is good. I like the idea of constant steer control and rescuing cats.

tomer-cool 2017-12-06 13:59

The game was a bit buggy, but there were cute animals so I can't complain.

sun-wukong 2017-12-06 23:06

The game looks really cute but I don't get controls at all. What and how you supposed to do?

james-studd 2017-12-06 23:59

Honestly the music and graphics were amazing.

serpentworks-games 2017-12-07 00:18

Such sad music for it! I couldn't quite pick up cats out of the water but I got the hang of sailing and breaking up cat fights just fine. Also, you used Pusheens so honestly that's an extra star in my book.

So cute!

profan 2017-12-07 02:47

Really quite impressive! Unfortunately, it was sometimes quite difficult to get control of the raft as it shared a button with breaking up the cat-fights, would have been nice to have them be separate :)

The music is a nice fit with the whole "rescuing cats from the open water" theme and just trying to survive, despite sounding so sad!

Really nice, super cute art-wise!

matthias-schedel 2017-12-07 10:18

Very nice game :) - sometimes I just have to save a cat twice for whatever reason

surprisinglyshockedcat 2017-12-07 10:21

The art was terrific! The music didn't do it for me though. Also, the exit button was broken on my computer.

malero 2017-12-07 10:24

Nice work. Fits the theme perfectly and the game is a lot of fun. :)

djeycreations 2017-12-08 08:57

A really good job. Pretty sad tho... Couldn't you use a happier music? XD

mortus 2017-12-08 09:17

Very nice aesthetics, I love the visual style. Gameplay is quite fun too, it's an unusual and interesting idea to go down the river all the time without being able to turn back, while using camera angle like it's an open world.

fangzhangmnm 2017-12-08 09:37

REALLY A DEPRESSION, SAD GAME.

You did it.

I've seen many you-cannot-save-them-all games but all of them used a fast pace to drive the player mad. There is no time to empathy.

In your game, the piano builds up a tranquil atmosphere so the meows sound heartbreaking. The control is rather slow, just as the powerless feeling. And the cats' not understand to the savior enhanced the depression.

kaisean-games 2017-12-08 10:26

Very nice game but controls seem a bit too unresponsive. I sometimes feel that I can't control the raft. Maybe it was intended this way because of the river current, but yeah. Also, I noticed the cats will fall out of raft too easily. Cat's can usually grapple even onto vertical surfaces, how can they just slip from the raft? :) But nevertheless, this feels very polished. Well done!

robotsandmuffins 2017-12-08 10:50

As already said: controls are tricky. I like the music, and graphics are nice. Overall, positive.

blizary 2017-12-09 00:03

I have never felt so sad couse of a bug in my life XD i got a tiny cat asking for help in a corner of the boat and i couldn't get to him so i had to watch it drown...made me very very sad but aside from that really lovely game had lots of fun with it and feats the theme perfectly =)

uchiro 2017-12-09 08:00

Really awesome games.

I can't save all the kittens and it really makes me sad. Music adds sadness. Thank you for making collisions this way. Together with the control of the boat and the rescue of kittens, another could be too difficult.

---

I found a bug when the kitten went diagonally to the bottom left corner of the boat, and then fell into the water. I can't save him... :persevere:

From this place it is impossible to get out. bugCat.png

The **F1** key opens help for the google chrome.

Without help, I had to restart the game two times to understand how to return to control of the raft.

---

I will be sad about the kitten fallen because of the bug.

totsboy 2017-12-09 14:24

Beautiful music and graphics! Turned out to be quite a sad game because I left many kittens drawn >.<

arron-fowler 2017-12-10 19:50

I enjoyed the game great graphics but I did not manage to save any cats :(

g11 2017-12-10 22:22

fuck. I feel really bad for letting those killer-cats bugs in to our game :(

joror 2017-12-13 22:13

Who is dumping all these kitties! :scream: Slick graphics!

Had a few kitties on the side of the raft that I could not reach when I walked to them. Aside from that, a solid game!

krammetje 2017-12-18 13:29

I feel bad for not being able to save all those kittens :pensive:

Great game, looks amazing!

ddrkirbyisq 2017-12-18 15:16

So sad....nooooo, kitties T_T

Quite difficult in a way that makes you feel powerless, not sure if that was intentional. It somehow adds to the mood of the game though, sad helpless kitties drowning and there is only so much you can do to save some of them T_T

sarafilipa 2017-12-20 13:51

This game is ADORABLE! <3 A bit hard, but fun. Congratulations!
