Neat! It's so tense when the cat appears when there's a low water level, nicely done.

Very cleaver idea! I like this game a lot!
Great fun game! I loved the cats. The game finished before i stopped playing which is great, it means its fun! Esp love that you thought of details like the full sink XD
Very loveley game. Although I couldn't find out how to live longer. And took me a while to figure out it is click to move. Anyways, It would be an honor if you could rate my game: https://idevkidobc.itch.io/the-killer-blue-tiles
That plottwist... :D
The way you wrote the story made me think that I was trying to kill the fish and I was so confused when it died and I failed. Anyway, I'd also say that the water sound was a bit too annoying, and the graphics looked really bad. The have this this-is-my-first-ever-game style, u kno wat i mean? Anyway, great game! I liked it.
The concept of the game is very funny. It stands out from other games for me :)
The reading part was a bit too long i think, would have been nice to have pictures of the story (i know it's hard with the time constraint). The fish is awesome really dig the style. The cat boss fight appearance and the dramatic music was gold.
Good stuff, really nice artwork and audio. The overflowing sink is a nice detail. :grin:
this was really awesome and the cat gave me a real jump scare the first it. the music and art well really good too
Haha thanks all for the comments :D we love doing this and receiving any kind of feedback back!
@nnnikki can you please elaborate on the "this-is-my-first-ever-game style" if you're referring to the design/feel thanks so much that's right on point on what we were aiming for.
I meant that, like it's the type of art you find in games such as "Elsa given zombie baby birth", flash games that are subjectively bad. Not really trying to say that the art is bad, just that I don't really like that type of art.
Ahh fair enough I guess, if you don't like the art style that's a valid opinion :)
@nnnikki the art style was somewhat based on the idea of Happy Tree Friends - the juxtaposition of the colors/style being kid friendly and the blood/bones then later on.
Best game i have seen so far! Simple but beautifully executed idea!
Fish lacks smoothness at the edge of the water, and so everything is very nice
That cat cracked me up! :thumbsup:
Poor cat is not looking that healty :D It's a fun game and it takes a while until you understand how to beat it, I like that. I also like the sound effects.
Loved the story intro and that the game fitted the theme really well, can't undersell how well it fit the theme, there some game entries where running out of space adds complications to other game mechanics but here its the core idea. Didn't really follow the idea behind the worms if I'm honest, some kind of scoring system would be nice. Good job.
Hey there, the game is fun, but: - Reading the introduction, I thought I *am* the cat. - I don't know what the worm are for. I just keep eating them but what are they? - I honestly don't know why I keep dying. I always die after the 2nd cat appearance. I have dodged every thing red on the screen but I just die, so I gave up.
Hey thanks for the comment all :D
@avavt : ye we got the intro possibly from the wrong pov but it was kinda intended, lesson learnt i guess :D Worms are the food for the fish so it lives until the next cat attack :) and dying theres 4 ways : Hitting the edge when the water is overflowing, not enough water is still in the bowl, you touch the cat's face, you get hit by the cat's red attack. If you found anything else that's killing you feel free to send me a vid clip that must be a bug which im not aware of! And those are generally my fave kinds of bugs haha :D
Very cool game! Nice art.
I really liked the graphics, the introductory text was fun. Good match to the theme, I think. Nice little game!
Coool! Nice game :thumbsup: +++++
Neat concept! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 42 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/tG45WDfIQds
