Hi I played the H5 build and find it's seriously buggy.... At first it's OK but don't know how later I could not move the scoop so I witness cats dying....
@yishalee I'm sorry about that. I believe it's because the scoop was on top of other objects and that makes it bug out and not be available for pick up :/ Sadly, not very motivated to potentially spend hours on figuring out how to fix it or find a workaround :(
This was actually kind of fun :) It felt a bit buggy, but the general mechanics were fun. I especially liked that you could clean up the dead kitten. It was really getting hard with a lot of kittens running around into their poo. Also I didn't understand at first that you could feed the cats with the chickens ;)
:-) the sounds. hahaha. :) the game keeps going after u lose. hehehe my deaths were in the 100's. my scoop disappeared. :(
A fun game with interesting mechanics. Would be quite suitable as a touch screen game. It would be even more fun if you tweaked it some more. First of all, it's not possible to see if cats are hungry, so I figured the best strategy is to let them feed themselves using the bowls. However it is almost impossible to get food to the bowls without it getting eaten by a random cat, so the best strategy is to place the bowls very close to the food source. I found objects, in particular the scoop, frustrating to pick up. The hitbox is a bit too small. Also, it is not possible to pick up an object when there's a cat over it, and if you place the scoop handle off screen you can no longer pick it up.
I played the HTML5 version too, and like the others I think it's pretty buggy :( The idea is nice and funny.
Fun! I liked the use of the theme! It was a bit easy to lose the pooper-scooper off screen, but otherwise this was fun.
Fun idea and best chuddling poop sound effects I've heard. I didn't know you could overfill the bowls til I did it accidentally, I think there should be a medium fill state to indicate that adding more food to the bowl helps. Also I think it'd help to know when a cat is about to die, maybe have them flash red before they explode into blood.
I found the controls to be a bit frustrating (I think my chicken bucket bugged out), but I did enjoy the humor in the audio and art / animation.
On the unity version, indeed the controls are a bit tricky. Anyway, your game is sooo fun, I laughed even when the cats died O.o and the game goes on playing when the orphanage is closed :D Good job !
Poor kitties! I'm apparently very bad at taking care of kittens and very good and scooping up their bloody remains without leaving a sign they ever existed.
Would have loved more UI indicators, such as whether a cat was dying from starvation or... something else? And something indicating how many cats were on the screen at a time, and at the end of the game, how many cats we had taken care of overall. Good job!
