I really like the way the music pitches up while the countdown is on :P

Nicely aggravating. Colors fit well. Herding cats without roller skates is hard - now **this**

Absolutely nailed the theme rofl. Aggravating as hell though!

Wow...this game is pretty hard for my finger.Good to see that you made an Android port for us!Nice concept!

sparked99 2017-12-04 03:54

I thought cats couldn't get harder to handle. Fits the theme perfectly, Nice work!

funnboi 2017-12-04 03:58

The difficulty curve was a tad steep, but I enjoyed the two and a half levels I could get through. Good work! :)

jeffchen 2017-12-04 04:04

Very funny!So that is why you don't have a cat?

tezza48 2017-12-04 04:50

@jeffchen I have 2 :D doesn't mean they cant be jerks some times

sovogirl 2017-12-04 06:55

I know that feel. I have a cat

mrnannings 2017-12-04 07:23

Cool game. Original idea. That music gets me nervous lol.

sholf 2017-12-04 09:02

Whose idea was it to give rollerblades to these cats!? Haha I love it, cool concept! I gave up on the stage with 9 cats. The music pitching up during the countdown made it really tense!

11tomi12 2017-12-04 09:26

Love the music and cat animations! Pretty funny game :D

are-sundnes 2017-12-04 09:54

Hahaha i love this! Very funny :)

Nicely done. Was a bit difficult playing on a PC but the music and sfx gave a nice touch. Good job

pinkemma 2017-12-04 12:00

That is pretty much what I imagine herding cats are like!

benhumphries 2017-12-04 12:39

I read a similar idea to this on reddit and wished I had thought of it! I had a lot of fun with it, great job! Great audio as well!

Tricky game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) [I fixed this video to have proper audio!] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA0ovyGILHs

@jupiter-hadley Hey, i just started watching it :D Thanks for playing :)

sintel 2017-12-04 15:43

I found the premise funny as hell! This is probably better on mobile if you can use multitouch.

tezza48 2017-12-04 18:46

@sintel Yup, i's got multitouch :) level 3 is really hard on mobile but level 4 is super easy.

gilborn 2017-12-04 20:33

3 seconds can be so long. The cats look hilarious, the theme is hit perfekt.

mazzletov 2017-12-04 21:11

Couldn't get past Level 3. Really good theme for it!

diegoctorguet 2017-12-04 22:53

Cool approach and having a port for android is what suits this game better. So nice idea there!

tezza48 2017-12-05 00:02

@diegoctorguet I've been working with Mobile a lot recently so i've gotten the hang of working with touch input, just setting up the cloud build once i got the multitouch handler in (first time doing multitouch properly though) and it just built itself :P

jeromwaarom 2017-12-05 11:36

A fun and very, very challenging take on the theme, nice job! One thing: the android version only works when rotated in landscape mode. It took me a while to understand what I was supposed to do at first because the cat is of the screen if you play the game in portrait mode.

tezza48 2017-12-05 12:02

@jeromwaarom Yeah, i think i stuck the wrong version on itch, i used the latest Unity Cloud build, which was one commit behind, i'll get round to uploading the right one eventiually. the andriod versin is also missing "Ludum Dare" in the splash screen.

velvetlobster 2017-12-06 00:36

This would be awesome in an ipad! Also can be a great game to play with friends with a single ipad

tezza48 2017-12-06 12:19

@velvetlobster Oooooh, that's a good point, I'll have to test it out on an ipad. Sadly the level creation is really tedious so i'll have to address that if i continue working.

zambini 2017-12-09 21:25

This is exactly as difficult as I'd expect! Clever application of the theme :) It's quite a challenge on desktop with a mouse xD Well done!

hilvon 2017-12-22 12:54

Darn... Just couldn't get bast the 3 cat level with a mouse... ((No pun intended...))
