I really loved the graphics and sound. Also nice concept for a game - god damn that cat was hungry!
I did have trouble getting more than two fish from the pond though.
Expanded on this game could probably do pretty well on mobile.
Nice work!
Hey, great job with this, it is a nice little game to play.
I love the art and the care put into everything.
Keep up the good work and see you next time!

Physics on the fish is really cool! I with the cat moved around a bit left and right. Otherwise good work! Very polished.

Nice game. Too me a while to get what I was supposed be doing.

It was a bit hard to understand, I could only get to a score of 6!
I liked the art, music and sound effects. Good job!
Great job! Had trouble getting new fish from the pond though, could only do it before the cat ate the starting fish. Otherwise very nice!
Phew, I just got to 22. Is this Dark Souls?
The core gameplay loop I love! It took me a while to figure out what was going on because there isn't much feedback for when the cat eats fish (and also the fish just fall off instead of going into their belly), but the bait-y keep away moves I was making with my mouse reminds me a lot of how I actually play with cats. Excellent work there.
Also there's a fun little minigame where if I have too many fish tails in my hand my game will start to lag, so I need to feed the cat the tails without losing my last bits of health if I don't want the tab to crash :sweat_smile:
Woa haha ok thx guys! A lot of very motivating comments! Super nice of you! Thx for the tech comments as well! I will work on it asap!
And yea... this is dark souls... hahah I know I know - but I wanted it to be not too easy. And 22 is really a good score! I am still working on the game (outside the Ludum Dare process of course) to work on the balancing and gameplay mechanics.

Yeah, awesome! Took a few tries to figure things out but loads of fun when I did. Had probs grabbing fish every time I played so not sure if I'm missing a trick there or it's a game issue. Really nice job for this! Well done!
Very fun game

It was fun, but very hard. But love the idea and the humorous tone. Now I understand why so many people hate cats. Evil creatures.

This has to be one the most accurate cat simulators ever made haha. Great job, I wasn't able to pick more fishes from the pond, maybe it's my browser but I got the idea. Reall well executed, great job!!

I really like the music, that gives the game another level. Feeding the cat is too hard, unless you wanted to tell us that cats are monsters :D. Really fun entry.

Fun game, I like it! I could grab like 100 fish at the same time though, not sure if that was intentional, but it definitely made it lag haha
@banzi : oh some cats are ^^... but most are super nice @lalada & @brendev : yea thats a huge bug - i really uploaded my game within the last seconds - I have solved that problem in my new version (outside of Ludum Dare) - I will post version 1.1 after all the voting is done
Fun casual game. Loved that the cat has a transparent stomach.
Cool game! It was really difficult to understand the mechanic at first, took me a few tries. I wish there was some difficulty curve to get you familiar with the mechanic. I also feel like the cat shouldn't jump on you anymore when you don't have fish and you are trying to get more from the pond. For me, understanding the game was hard because of the lack of feedback. I wish the cat would actually take a bite of the piece, A hunger meter would be nice in addition to the texts, more feedback when the cat bites etc.. Last thing, I think it would be better to hide the mouse cursor as it's very distracting in-game. Graphics and Music were amazing!

lol "Not Alive". Grunting good. Cat was scary. Fish were not very filling. Had fun! Thanks for sharing!
@glaciereclipse : Yea absolutely right there. Esp the difficulty curve and the jump bug. Both would have been my next tasks if I would have had more time. ABout the hunger meter - there is actually one in the belly of the Cat :)

Simple and cute. I don't feel like I should be able to grab so many fish at one time? Pretty neat, though.
The music is super catchy! Great work all around.

I agree with above :thumbsup: Very catchy tune. Art and sound design are well done. Hand doesn't always respond too well. I am terrible at the game though, and thus didn't have a lot of fun - it's not for me, but still is a great jam entry.
