The audio made me laugh a lot, nice work.

I loved the audio!...and also the fact, that you made me clean cat throw ups instead of excrements, that was a twist I didn't anticipate and I was not disappointed.

The audio was pretty funny, but the gameplay mechanic was maybe too simple. It could use some improvements.

Loved the cats and audio. Felt like it got really difficult when hitting 44 cats, 40 felt easy and 44 was like seriously messed up :D

I also was expecting to clean up cat poo!

I found the pacing and progression too slow. I was constantly looking at cats and waiting for something to do, then I won. The dialogue that pops up was frustrating when it interrupted the game. With a shorter timer on when a cat makes a mess, this would get frantic quick.

We had same idea :) Our game dealing with same problem :D

Hi there, fellow kitty hoarder :D Cops found me eventually! It wasn't too hard to take care of them, I guess you've got a little bug there since even with some dungs on the floor, the cleanness meter says 100%. And the sounds!!! :]

Really funny game! It seems like a lot of thought was put into the AI and roaming of the cats. This idea fit really well with the theme. I'd say the music could be kicked up a few notches to better match the levels of the sound effects. Nice work!

Cute little game! But of course the motivation for cleaning up should be to give those poor rescue babies quality of life, not to keep authorities away! D':

Having quite some experience cleaning up cat puke myself, this was relatable. Was forced to turned the sound off since it grossed the person next to me out so much, but I think that means you did well at replicating the nastiness that is vomit!

I was a little too good at this, so eventually I just had to stop playing before getting stuck forever and hurting my hand, but it was neat! Since one is constantly sweeping anyway, it would've been nice not to have to hold the mouse button down. I think the difficulty could've increased faster and with bigger steps at a time tho, since it took a while for it to start getting hard.

A lot of humorous (in an icky way!) situations ensued as vomit ended up in the litter box, inside the walls, cats seemingly puking while sleeping, and some of them going to sleep in it. 🤓 Good job!

The cat sounds were absolutely amazing hahaha

I always wanted to be a Cat Lady :) You got a cleaning action down, very satisfactory cleaning feel. I wish I had things to buy and improve the cat house with.

Nice game :)

Adding different kinds of mess to clean would add diversity to the game. Also, some other responsibilities would make things more challenging. All in all good job :)

Nice! I really liked the tutorial and how you made player clean up a mess to proceed. Also the music was nice. At first I liked the sound effects, but after hearing them for a really long time they started to wear on me. Also, the game was really easy. I wish there was more vomit from the beginning so it could ramp up faster. I never felt overwhelmed, which I think was the feeling you were going for. At the end it just started getting a little harder when I won. I think it just needed a little tweaking of how often each cat threw up. Or another task that I had to balance with cleaning, like feeding the cats or something...

Over all, nice job!
