WOW totally loved it; this is the cutest mess and my heart hurts. I hate that you made me do change on the spot though; flashbacks to my Walmart years!

This one is great. I was expecting it to be a little boring, but the fast pace really steps it up a notch. It's absolutely adorable too

velvetlobster 2019-04-30 05:08

what an amazing art! Animation is sweet and color scheme is pro level.This by far should be one of the bests. cats as a theme is always a good decision ^^

kadecgos 2019-04-30 05:54

The art is phenomenal here. Beautifully stylized and cute! I had a lot of fun making change :P.

inkyglow 2019-04-30 06:03

This is so good!!! The art is amazing, and the difficulty level seems just right. Great work !

jincho 2019-04-30 06:04

Impressive.Your art is amazing and look like a solid game

cenoon 2019-04-30 06:05

Absolutely adorable game, and perfectly fits the theme. Playing it was lovely and the fast pace made it feel very challenging,

no-grapes-games 2019-04-30 06:10

Best art I've seen so far! Top notch design here, not a flaw in sight. The music was very good too. This theme is bringing out the cats! Not my cup of tea as far as the game play, but this was quite the treat to experience.

ayutazyumi 2019-04-30 09:01

I love the game! I didn't see any bugs and the art style is adorable! The music is good too! I would download and play this game if it was on google play! 10/10

grllle 2019-04-30 09:14

Wow. What a great entry in all aspects. And what a hard one (at least for me).

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 14:10

Holy moly the art in this game is just incredible. So cute and charming. The music and sounds are perfect as well. I did notice that in some instances, clicking on bells to give as change would not visibly display them in the change bowl, but would still count towards the total (on Mac). But aside from that, the game is absolutely wonderful.

Looks good, sounds good, plays well, proves my mental maths needs sharpening. You could even consider selling it to schools! Apologies for the two cats I killed by being slow with my change.

pixelstuff 2019-04-30 17:28

Loved it, it's super cute! The art and the music are lovely! I really need to improve my mental maths but the game is really polished. I had a good time playing it! You should consider proposing this game to schools/kids, they would probably love it! Great entry!

turbogros 2019-04-30 21:34

Ok, this is by far the most beautiful entry. Congrats to the artist !! Love the music too, really nice mood. Good job everyone.

randomhuman 2019-04-30 21:51

The artistry involved in every detail of this game is really astounding.

deprecat 2019-04-30 23:40

This art is so cute I could cry. Amazing work!

nerzal 2019-04-30 23:44

Cute Cats! <3 Was to hard maths for me xD

fadex 2019-04-30 23:48

cute graphics but i can't count as fast

lumpy 2019-04-30 23:57

I have to commend you on your color palette and the brushes you used. A cohesive and fantastic art-style. Also, nice to revisit my cashier math skills.

valid 2019-05-01 00:04

The art was great, gameplay was fun, and audio was fitting. This is such a cute game, and I really enjoyed this.

don-fouts 2019-05-01 00:06

This was a really unique take on the theme, great job! I loved everything about this, it's very polished.

phyro 2019-05-01 00:17

The cuttest and prettier game I've seen here so far, and the most difficult one, lol Even being horrorible at counting that fast I've played multiple times, just to keep hearing the on point soundtrack and SFX, and to still see cute cats. If I'd be veeeeery very picky, I would say that it's hard for me to tell the difference between the $ bag and the cents bag, but I think it's just me and because I'm under pressure and in need to do the math fast. Great job and congrats, very impressive!

cnnmon 2019-05-01 02:17

i'm in love with the visuals, and it feels really good to play! great job!!

coleslaughter 2019-05-01 04:09

This game really made me dust off my old mental math skills, haha.

Visually, this game is absolutely flawless. Everything feels so cohesive and comfy, y'all should be really proud! :)

I wish there was a bit more of a difficulty curve, but tuning things like that during a game jam always seems like a pipe-dream, so it's understandable.

I really appreciate it when a simple concept is super polished, it makes all the difference in making a game feel complete, like this one. :)

unplugred 2019-05-01 07:35

i love the visuals! a shame i suck at math :/

ratz 2019-05-01 10:21

Cute! Had a blast. I had a little problem with clicking the bells - I think sometimes they didn't work (despite being available). Anyway gz! Great game!

drauthius 2019-05-01 10:35

Good and nice entry! I especially liked the art style.

tapehead 2019-05-01 10:37

I love the art! And the mood is great too! I wish only that the difficulty would build up slowly and it took a bit till i understand the ui. But overall cool entry!

thesunshineraven 2019-05-01 15:49

Aaaand this was the moment when I realized that I'm bad in math when under stress :D Boy, I had a lot of fun! Great idea, great music, great art ... I liked the game a lot! Nice entry, the game felt complete and was really enjoyable. I downloaded it for the cute cats, stayed for a nice experience! Thank you :)

graebor 2019-05-02 18:53

Super cute art and audio :) The time limit seemed pretty unforgiving at first and I had to scramble to figure out how things worked, but once I got into the groove it felt more balanced. If it started off a bit more forgiving and ramped up over time this would be perfect!

purrseus 2019-05-02 21:26

Wow, you made mental math fun! Who would have thought this is even possible? :D The game has a great flow and and even more amazing feel. It's all so fully realized, perfectly round and polished. Additionally, your audiovisual art direction is, simple put, outstandingly marvellous. Among the most beautiful Ludum Dare entries for sure, quite possibly the best one.

Thank you for making this gem!

mateusboga 2019-05-02 23:12

Awesome game! Such a simple idea but so well executed! Nice job!

PS: If there was a cuteness score, this would get 5 stars

madbarron 2019-05-03 01:06

Great graphics and sound! I never figured out the 7c thing or what made a perfect or what was going on in the top left of the screen. It would be nice to have a couple practice ones to get used to the game. But great job, I had fun dancing around to the music and making change for cats!

elrobo 2019-05-03 08:09

Really liked the art, but the gameplay was a little unforgiving in the time to work out change. Failed the first few transactions not realizing what the intent was. Might be easier to show the game scene in the tutorial part, and start with a longer time but increase difficulty.. as a line of customers form or such.

awesomealliterationalliance 2019-05-03 18:18

Lovely artstyle. It fits very well together with the music and the the overall mood of the game. The polishing is really nice, the different screens and transistions feel really good. The idea is also very interesting. Nicely done!

deathbysnail 2019-05-03 20:35

Love the cat scene wipes! And the rest of the animation of course. Purrfect.

barret 2019-05-04 04:49

The game is probably not what I would wanna play but with the music the art and the charm it somehow made doing math fun. That's a big accomplishment in my book. I got a score of 154.1 and 19 purrfects (love the pun).

I think the one thing I wasn't sure on was when I'd get some cats who had the exact change already and they turned into an angel. I wasn't sure if that was supposed to happen lol

But either way this was a very well presented and fun little game. Great job!!!

wopa 2019-05-04 05:34

@barret first of all thanks for trying the game! when that happens (a cat that wants to pay with the exact change of 7 bells) you should give them 7c in exchange to avoid turning them into angels :). The lore of the game explains this as the "7cent deal" where the shop is willing to give 7c as change for the customers that were willing to spend their whole 7 lives to buy something :p

reality-blind 2019-05-04 13:37

Cute game, with beautiful graphics and perfectly fitting music 😃 I'm not sure I understood everything, but at least I had fun playing it 😁

franklins-ghost 2019-05-05 08:40

Perfectly paced and was fun to play. Took me a second go to figure out the 7c rule but once I did I thought it was a fun little additional problem to worry about. The art is fantastic and so cute, definitely one of my favourite looking entries so far, great job.

miltage 2019-05-06 14:30

Beautiful! Counting out change is harder than it looks, but I got the hang of it. Loved the art and I really enjoed the jazzy tune, too.

aim 2019-05-07 04:12

This is so cute! All the little animation effects really take it over the top and beyond. Simple concept, purrfect execution! :D The music is very pleasant too. Any plans to port to mobile?

probe31 2019-05-07 05:12

Hi @aim :D Thanks so much and sure We want to port to mobile after Ludum Dare.

angela-he 2019-05-09 06:49

THE CUTEST THING OMG!!!! THE ART THE TRANSITIONS THE MEOW SOUND EFFECTS THE A N I M A T I O NS THEY'RE PERFECT PERFECT IM FUCKING GASPING!! <3 <3 <3

THAT color theory teach me your ways u_____u

jajaja i didn't know i'd be doing math tonight, a subject i usually despise, but when there's cats it's so much more fun~ I could feel myself getting better at quick arithmetic!

Some things: - got stuck in credits screen, couldn't figure out how to exit - I got kinda confused how to play - the instructions weren't the clearest to me? Maybe a tutorial round would be great - Does the math get harder as you progress? bc the problems seemed to be equal difficulty as I went on

tommyflower 2019-05-10 14:42

Beautiful graphics and animations! Love your kitty design! Unfortunately this is not my game, I'm too slow with this kind of things, I scored terribly :D. Apart from that, I found that the gameplay is staged in a way that took me some time to understand (and I'm not talking about my brain damage here:). The color palette is very cute but probably during the gameplay it could have been changed a bit just to make the player focus more on the 3 areas you need to see first. The music is really nice!

2019-05-10 17:25

Esta increíble!!!!! amo este juego :)!!!!!!

neithernathan 2019-05-15 19:45

i LOVED the game art and i liked the concept. Math games are not my type so i didn't liked the mechanics so much, but i was absolutely pleased by the art, the polish and the feel.

snowschu 2019-05-21 19:45

This was super cute. Loved the art and aesthetic, overall.

It's been a bit since I ran a register so it took me a few tries to get in a rhythm of making change lol. At first, I felt it was a bit too fast. I think I would still agree with that thought after getting use to the mechanics. If you were to continue on I think adding a type of speed progression (slow then moving up to fast) or possibly 'add more time' when you succeed, would be nice.

I think as an added challenge, maybe switch up the prices a bit more often. I ended up getting the same change 3x in a row. I did like, however, the idea that some change was omitted from being used from time to time.

I streamed this as well (found it via a suggestion from another game I downloaded lol). Here is the [link to the stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/427854891?t=01h41m). Your game should start around [01:41:00].
