When I click on your itch.io links, I get a 404 error. Are you sure they're correct? I'd love to try your game.

@star-sought I didn't notice the game wasn't published. Should be okay now. thank you for letting me know.

Nice game, enjoyed it very much. Keep it up!

The game was kind of confusing at first, but if you wait a bit the goal becomes apparent. Its a pretty simple game, but i like it. Also it has cats, which is always a good thing. Pretty cool, especially considering you did this alone, good job.

Good job for your first go at the compo! The UI could use some work but the simplicity of the game and graphics go together really nice!

was not sure what to do at the start but after a while i got the hang of it. . good shot

I got 42 cats before I decided to stop. Lots of cute cats. I think it would be cool if there was more interaction than just buying upgrades.

Very cool, took a second to get used to but I enjoyed tending to the cats :)

This is why I will never be a cat person.

Though, a robot that cleans poo? Not bad!

Agree with joseph-manley... The UI is a bit jumbled. Otherwise, great first time.

The game is very nice, but I was a little confused by the small screen. The first events could happen with more frequency.

POOOP DETECTED CLEAN POOP POOP CLEANED

I wish the UI elements you can click on were buttons. good job finishing the game

Took me some time to figure out what I can do. Pretty cool idea. I am loving the robot.

andre-van-zuydam 2018-08-14 06:37

Houston we have a cat problem! I think you can sell the poop cleaner for dogs, cats generally need a sand box and it’s the humans who replace the sand.

A little slow to start but gets pretty fun trying to upgrade the right things, and seeing all this poop disappear. I kinda felt bad the first time I went from 4 cats to 3 cats but I've always been a terrible pet sitter lol. I did end up with something like 15 huge cats who pooped all over the place and I felt overwhelmed until I upgraded to the Roomba 5000 and then felt at peace again.

Pretty fun overall! :)

Hmm, I don't quite understand what the goal is. I can see that there is stuff I can upgrade and with time more cats are coming in.

Maybe some explanatory text for the upgradable elements would help with that.

On the plus side, it looks neat and it has cats. Everything is way better with cats ;)

Interesting game. Remember though, you can add your Ludum Dare URL to your itch.io game page so people who find it through Itch can come straight here. Especially because it's an HTML5 Browser game, many reviewers use itch's filtering to play games, rather than LD's Smart filter.

Cute! I quite enjoy it. Better if there is audio.

t8kk 2018-08-14 11:38

Hey Noini cool idea! I did enjoy the pixel art and the theme you had. Sadly I had difficulties to operate and understand how to create objects and interact with them, a small written tutorial on the game site would be enough for me! :) Looking nice, good work Noini!

Congrats on making a cohesive game in 48 hours! I really enjoyed the concept of not being able to directly control anything. Also, I really liked the cat graphics! Good job!

donitz 2018-08-14 13:22

Reminds me of Tamagotchi. Fun to open up on the side while you do something else, and watching the progress now and then.

jharler 2018-08-14 13:44

Interesting take on the theme. Graphics were pretty good and the mechanics sound. If this is your first LD, congrats on finishing! It's certainly not an easy task to create a game in 48 hours, but you did it. Nice work!

mikixen 2018-08-15 10:43

Pixel cats were cute! I loved it when the cats grew bigger, it's a nice surprise. I think being able to do something other than upgrades (such as stroking the cat to increase happiness, for example) would make it more interesting!

ozerion2103 2018-08-15 15:22

Nice little game. There are some texts on other that make it diffiuclt to see clearly the updates. I'd have loved to have a music and some cats sonds. GG
