Hilarious!

gogani 2020-10-05 22:13

This is pure genius! I love it!

ninnec 2020-10-05 22:14

If I could give more than 5 for humor I would. I was getting some cat glitches though

melvinng 2020-10-05 22:16

Nice game :D

shosanna 2020-10-05 22:18

I soo like the idea, the art, the sounds.. but the gameplay itself? I am sorry, I did not get it :(

melon-spirit 2020-10-05 22:21

This game had such a fun spin on the loops theme! I really enjoyed the concept and gameplay although at the beginning I was taking a long time reading the introduction and the game started before I was ready. Maybe don't start the game until the player has clicked the okay on the introduction.

tamail 2020-10-05 22:21

@ninnec Thank you so very much! We know about the cat glitches - we found out it depends mostly on the web browser. :/ May look into it when we update it. :)

appoxgames 2020-10-05 22:21

Good presentation! Is there any goal except getting all the lööps? :)

tamail 2020-10-05 22:25

@appoxgames There was an end game planned but, well, the time limit screwed us over. :laughing: At the moment, you can get all the upgrades and then just keep watching those cats losing weight - it's surprisingly relaxing (I found myself zoning out from time to time, just looking at the hordes of cats :laughing: )

demetri 2020-10-05 22:25

We both did idle-styled games! I really like how laid back and chill yours is, and the cats are adorable. The progression feels very nice.

dark-power 2020-10-05 22:25

Ok. I stuck with it 😂

raddishradish 2020-10-05 22:26

I adore the concept and the animations of the cats playing! The glitchy jittery cat movement before and after exercising made it hard for me to keep looking at the game, but a solid idle game apart from that.

rhythm 2020-10-05 22:27

I love it too!

walkingtall85 2020-10-05 22:27

Pretty funny cute animations and hilarious idea

div00 2020-10-05 22:28

Cute game, liked how you took the theme name quite literal :cat: Wished if there were more decisions that I could make, other than that, you made a beautiful game:)

rabu 2020-10-05 22:31

Loved the game and especially the cat sounds haha

jeremy-ryan 2020-10-05 22:38

Very interesting take on "Stuck in a Loop." The graphics were charming, and the music was nice without being too distracting. I went through 1500 cats and nearly 15 minutes of life that I'll never get back.

Well done for 72 hours!

(Also, is the music from some royalty-free site? It looks like you've opted out of Audio, but I don't see a source or anything)

dimitria-mollova 2020-10-05 22:40

I love the game, great idea!

ninnec 2020-10-05 22:44

@tamail Honestly, the glitches kind of made the thing absurd and thus more fun

tjabberoni 2020-10-05 22:44

Love the idea, love the humor, the gameplay a bit lacking. A good 10min game or a cookie clicker type background-game.

tamail 2020-10-05 22:44

@jeremy-ryan It's Happy Adventure by TinyWorlds - royalty free song, it's credited at the Start screen, bottom middle. :)

Sorry for not getting back those 15 minutes! :sweat_smile:

ryuk47 2020-10-05 22:46

Screenshot_100.png

Time well spent indeed. This is just hillarious XD

tamail 2020-10-05 22:51

@ryuk47 This warms my little heart! :heart:

douglass 2020-10-05 22:56

I love it.

mmason 2020-10-05 23:01

fantastic game, and a nice take on clickers

maxtemple 2020-10-05 23:30

I can't understand why I'm still playing this game. it's so hypnotic

charlieboss22 2020-10-05 23:37

ooooopps

ruruie 2020-10-05 23:47

You won't get many ratings if you keep your reviewers trapped in a loop!

evil-as-shit 2020-10-05 23:56

Tell me your secrets!

jenny-bourke 2020-10-06 00:19

This game is so so good I love it so much!! I was smiling the whole time. It's really well paced, very sweet, and the little meows made me very happy every time.

pee-thief 2020-10-06 00:25

purrrfect game

jamison 2020-10-06 05:47

Leaving this running on my second monitor while I play other game jam games.

Will post results later.

jamison 2020-10-06 06:39

Update!

Got all the upgrades after 40 minutes. Still can't find any secrets, though :(

4220 cats... that's a lot of lööps they've eaten...

aterlamia 2020-10-06 09:21

This is such a fun game. I realy like the idea and there is good background music. I would like to see a preview of the costs so i know how long to collect loops before upgrading or just boy a new position. For the rest perfect

stormboyyy 2020-10-06 10:16

this game was hilarious and also great fun, i didnt expect it to be so fun but i know that i can vibe to the music.

snailrhymer 2020-10-06 11:56

Very charming!

redunca 2020-10-06 12:47

CATS ! All shapes of cats are beautiful

I like the game, i want to spend the time to see what's next :D

elderoy 2020-10-06 14:07

I love it XD The music is a real hook

darcytimms 2020-10-06 17:00

Idle games are a rare sight in this jam, especially given the theme. Good Job!

manspider 2020-10-06 17:39

What did you do to my brain cells. Halp. Fun game, good job.

noakishere 2020-10-06 17:47

FAT CAT BAD CAT ! I loved this hahahah time well spent indeed. Really funny ! Good job wow

yellowmoleproductions 2020-10-06 18:01

Love the maine coon character in keyart.

oddsocks 2020-10-06 18:04

Well, I jumped onto the computer tonight to have a go on a few games... I started with this one, and I haven't got any further!! Addictive game play. Cute sounds and music. Congrats :raised_hands: 10/10

cyberfrank 2020-10-06 19:28

Very weird, in a good way! I love lööps!

clode 2020-10-06 19:36

Funny idea. I don´t know if i didn´t see it, but i kind of missed some element, which i could maddly klick to increase my lööps. All i could do is sit there and wait for the counter to go up

zero-ichi 2020-10-06 20:00

I didn't understand right away how it worked, but it's a relaxing nice game

coding4rtist 2020-10-06 21:27

Very funny game, loved the idea, so hilarious! As the game says: 22 minutes of time well spent xD

fermingimpel 2020-10-06 21:39

This game has cats, this game is gud

rhoff95 2020-10-06 22:39

Really good game! You achieved you goal of humor. Would have liked to see the 'clicker' aspect of the cookie-clicker genre preserved, so there was something to do while waiting for more money. Well done.

trexxak 2020-10-07 00:26

Very funny little idle/ clicker! :D Realized pretty late I couldn't upgrade machines that are currently in use, so I thought the game was bugged or I missed something.

you may have some lööps, bröthers!

citdev-chris 2020-10-07 01:35

30 minutes, 3700 cats served and full upgrades. was fun, thanks!

draconimous 2020-10-07 02:14

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! OMG I love this game!!!!! Congratulations on a stellar idea!

layne-stokes 2020-10-07 03:35

This is such a great idea and well executed. Cats and the internet is always a great combo. It's amazing how much time you will sink into this game. I am about 22 mins and going strong because I am really curious about the secrets. Lots of fun to be had here

snowinn 2020-10-07 04:29

LOOPS THE GAME? The art was amazing and I loved the concept. The music fit well and all together a great game.

bottini 2020-10-07 05:27

I spent 20 minutes on it. Great job, everything is amazing: the idea, the art, the music and sfx, programming. May you get a 10/10

cubiclaw 2020-10-07 08:43

This game is perfect, I couldn't force myself to close the game until I maxed out all the upgrades and even then it was hard! :smile:

I did find one useless feature though - "Mews on/off", who would want to turn off the meows?! :scream_cat:

jpiolho 2020-10-07 10:55

I got sucked in to this game for some reason. I think I just love this type of games. I did manage to find one secret but I'm not quite sure how I did it. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and played for at least half hour

croxel-studios 2020-10-07 13:09

I don't know why, but it was kind of relaxing to play :) nice game!

pixelmoose-studio 2020-10-07 13:21

Great i always wondered how a cat fittnes gym would work

helen 2020-10-07 14:36

I played for 28min (3532). I love your game! <3 Normally I hate idle games - but this one is the best! I laughed when I saw the label "time well spent". Music is awesome and I could listen to it to the rest of my life. Meows are awesome and I love the graphics. Thanks for doing this :)

turegrappa 2020-10-07 14:45

Haha funny game!

shaolin-dave 2020-10-07 17:15

Nice take on tower defense mechanics. I wasn't sure what the top row of upgrades did. I might have to give it a second go to determine the best way to arrange the equipment.

nareh 2020-10-07 17:20

What a funny and entertaining game! I personally love idle games, so this was a nice experience. I wasn't sure where to cat concept was going, but this is such a nice turn and a pleasant surprise to see in the game jam. Nice job!

tad 2020-10-07 18:15

This is hilarious, and so much fun to play. Excellent work!

karodoh 2020-10-07 18:21

Omg this is cute as hell, really nice to just play and let your brain relax

psychedelia 2020-10-07 18:26

Time well spent! Love the animations and humor, the cats are very organized when it comes to distribution amongst the machines :) The sixth one borders on unhealthy torture though :))) Accidentally left this on for four more hours and got 35k cats in shape, beat me, I am still going.

gnx 2020-10-07 18:29

I played this way longer than was approriate, but loved every moment :D

esphoros 2020-10-07 19:29

Awesome game. I had a lot of fun playing, and found the concept hilarious. It ran smoothly, everything worked perfectly, I liked the graphics a lot, and the music was nice and laid-back. I don't usually play idle games, but I really enjoyed this one. Also, although I kept both settings on, I appreciated the options to switch off the mews and the music :-)

louiejams 2020-10-07 20:45

Reminded me of cookie clicker! Fun little time passer, waited to see what the 6/6 machine was!

jarvisp99 2020-10-07 20:52

It took me about 28 min to make all 6/6 ... mooooood refreshed..man...nice game.....although dogs working under a cat was motivational.....

thomas-volpato 2020-10-07 21:08

The game is great!!! It ends my last evaluation of the day =D But to not be so generic "Thank you for making the game" I will suggest some improvements:

* Add more upgrades, and some challenges, like time limit, idk

wolfier 2020-10-07 23:04

My god, that was hilarious. A whole game made off a bloody meme.

I will say for the art direction that you should keep your angles all pointing in the same direction alot of the art was giving conflicting directions of where things are pointing.

noxymu5 2020-10-07 23:08

Really cute and fun game! Time well spent indeed, 10/10 stuff

pink-shard-games 2020-10-07 23:31

I literally spen 29 minutes playing this game, awesomely entertaining and fun take on the challenge. You could do something such as resetting gym for faster loop recollection when all the upgrades are purchased if you want to expand on the game.

daimadoushi 2020-10-08 06:56

Lol i spent more time then i cared for on this. Fun humor as well.

COuldnt for the love of me find those secrets though.

Please give my game a try as well ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/rewind-a-companion-cube-experiment

zanzavar 2020-10-08 10:43

Addictive! Spent like 15mins without even noticing. Would be really awesome with multiple levels and perhaps clicking on the cats to "increase" their productivity? :laughing:

dark-prince-zen 2020-10-08 13:19

I am going to say you lot were one of the users who put in cats as a theme. Either way I approve. So much that I too am one of the many who vibed to the many cats achieving their loops. Awesome take on a clicker. Well done. Boop!

fupi 2020-10-08 14:17

Cute? Funny? Idle game? Sign me up! I played this for a long time and unlocked all the stuff. Only didn't find the two secrets. I just love idle games in general so I didn't need a lot of motivation to keep on playing. Here are the only problems I have with the game:

- Doesn't keep running when you switch tabs, and this being an idle game it probably should. I don't know how you would do that in your engine though. - The art is good but the cats don't look like they belong in the same art style as the other assets, even the cat receptionist is in a different style. - There could be more sound effects aside from the cats meowing.

But this is just nitpicking at this point.

kingdwarf 2020-10-08 14:58

IAmReviewWorthy.png

Sooooooooo, I think I am ready to give a proper review now XD

I am totally not an Idle game fan, but this one had something that broke that. Besides the fun animations for every upgrade it also has some secrets. Overall a really fun and addictive game you should be proud of!

One thing that I would like to see are more upgrades, maybe a final one where all the cats work out time go divide by 2 or something. Maybe a little more interactions with the exercise themselfs, like maybe click on them and the exercise time goes -0.05 per click.

tino 2020-10-08 15:33

That was my time well spent indeed!

tino 2020-10-08 15:54

Left them a nice swimming pool Capture.PNG

microgravitydan 2020-10-08 20:53

I found both secrets! Neither require you to play the game for very long, but I made it to an hour with 9,000 cats and almost 6,000 money before I found them both. Hint: look for hover text mouse-overs for another hint.

jhax 2020-10-08 22:11

First game I played after finishing but forgot to leave a comment! I showed my team mate a picture of the "Brother may I have some loops" cat while we were trying to come up with ideas so I'm really glad someone made a game based on that :smile:

eugenik 2020-10-08 23:29

Gameplay is great. Nice idea for theme.

heyllopotato 2020-10-09 02:25

It was a hilarious game! There was a problem I found though a lot of the time it didn't seem to work when trying to update I just had to keep spam clicking around the box to try to get it to upgrade seems like it was a small area that it allowed you to click to upgrade, was fun though!

palemek 2020-10-09 16:32

I tried hard to find secrets, but they remained secrets to me...

kot.png

sprotex 2020-10-09 20:39

Fun little idle game, perhaps I spent too much time on it - more than I should. :smile: For my taste it is on the longer side, but I still managed to upgrade everything. More cats :smile_cat:, more loops :loop:!

Music was great, perfectly fitting and not anoying.

Story was ok and funny!

I think this game deserves an ending after upgrading all the gym equipment, perhaps the cat receives lööps from its bröther? :thinking: We might never know!

darthone 2020-10-10 01:32

I spent too long playing this game but it was just so well done! I played it more like an idle game, but I think there's potential to make it a more involved game!

sophiemae0 2020-10-10 03:49

The opening of this game was absolute perfection. I love these crazy cats. I spent way too much time playing this, it reminds me of some of my favorite games like A Dark Room. This is definitely the only game I played that used "Stuck in a Loop" like this. Great job :)

charlie-hall 2020-10-10 16:38

I forgot and left this on when I went to work... Untitled.png Absolutely hilarious game!

d-studios 2020-10-11 03:27

The graphics for the game were decent. I especially appreciated the detailed graphics for the cat at the opening cutscene as well as the graphics for the variety of diverse cats in the gameplay. The music was furthermore pleasant to hear and made playing the game more comfortable. Unfortunately, I found the game to be quite boring. This is because the game lacks in player choice and challenge and the gameplay is too repetitive.

doctorhummer 2020-10-11 12:47

I didn't even think that someone would make a game based on this meme. Great job!

smbe19 2020-10-11 15:56

Nice game, enjoyed it a lot. Pretty literal interpretation of the theme. I think it would have been nice to see how much I earn per minute.

hakro 2020-10-11 16:54

Cute little game. Spent to much time on it and found no secrets though :D Nicely done. Cheers.

archimagus 2020-10-11 23:32

unlocked everything I could, but didn't find any secrets :( Oh well, neat game.

arron-fowler 2020-10-12 13:27

I had a lovely time thanks

joleon 2020-10-12 20:51

God, why are these cookie-clicker-like games like catnip to me???

Well, I hope you're happy, I upgraded everything fully, and I don't feel anything anymore :joy:

Cool game, plus cats, what's not to love? Definitely the most literal interpretation of the theme I've come across, and I ain't even mad.

Didn't discover any secrets tho :/

Good job! :cat:

duke 2020-10-12 22:43

Ha! Cat's must flow! Really nice idea and loved the cat humour all around :) I'm not too fond of those clicker-type games but this was a fun to an extent. I couldn't play until everything was upgraded because I felt like I was hopelessly wasting my time. Other than the satisfaction to have everything upgraded, there wasn't really all that much to engage the player. The secrets were a nice addition, though I didn't find any in my run. I clicked around, but didn't find anything. The wart was rough but cute nonetheless. Mechanical wise, everything worked as intended, I guess. I had no issues with anything.

all in all, a nice clicker/upgrade game that could use some steeper acceleration towards the mid game. I thought it was a little slow, but that's just my preference with such games. Still a good entry that fits the theme in a creative way :)

msiddeek 2020-10-13 04:32

I'm biased because I love cats. Take all the stars! Seriously, I want to see a full cat sim/management/tycoon now :)

ava-skoog 2020-10-13 15:23

Cats! 😻 Bit slow to get going but very sweet, music fits well, cats are adorable, the amount of different things to unlock is quite impressive for a game jam, especially with all those animations to go with the different things! Nice work!

civmaniac 2020-10-15 23:30

I don't know why, but I had fun! xD I find this game really charming! This cat tycoon could use some strategy elements, though ;) Thanks for a Linux build, btw!

Screenshot from 2020-10-16 02-25-09.png

zaibakk 2020-10-17 16:46

Nice entry here! I love cats, I love every kind of cats, I just wanna hug all them, but I can't hugging every cat! Good job! :D

grand-machin 2020-10-17 20:05

A lot of my time was well spent ! special mention for the cat running on the course mat ! your style and animation is really fun :)

grand-machin 2020-10-17 20:07

ps : also where can we find the name of the music ?

vphyre 2020-10-17 21:57

What a fun game hahaha! I was a little confused at first, but I think I was able to enjoy the experience in general. The graphics are good, and so is the sound. I liked the cats hahaha. Congratulations.

arad-hamidsamiee 2020-10-18 06:27

Ah yes, godot, good to see other godot users :) I had lots of fun with your game. It's.. purrfect. Nice music, cool mechanics, secrets and cats.

elcinkilic 2020-10-20 18:36

Cute cats, but the sound is distributing :(

johnnysix 2020-10-22 02:19

Pretty neat. I got frustrated the cats kept walking past my high level machines. I thought I could level up quicker by putting the fast machines at the left/top, but the cats would walk past and go to slower machines. :frowning2:

I was hoping to beat the game to get some resolution to the original story, did the cat get his loops?! catfaa v.jpg

666savior 2020-10-25 08:06

I dont know why i enjoyed this. I don't know why i spent so much time playing this. Take your 5 stars

annih6 2020-10-26 21:32

Really love this idea! The execution is so cute and funny. Couldn't find the secrets, but really enjoyed playing this and listening to the charming music, would love to replay it : D

rewzu 2020-10-26 22:23

Very funny and unique take on the theme. Really nice and addictive game! Good job!

2022-06-21 04:00

This is a great activity. I like this very much. I hope that it will be expaned in the future. [Bloxorz](https://bloxorz.io)
