Cute! The division into stages initially didn't make sense to me, but now In understand it's a "push your luck" system to decide whether to bank your score or not. That said, the difficulty of the movement didn't seem to change as the game went on, as far as I could tell? I think that (e.g. stronger waves in later stages) would make the challenge more interesting; as it stands the game feels like it gets easier as you go along, as some kitties are necessary casualties to attrition so you have fewer to manage. Overall, though, it looks and feels fun, so nice work!
Very cute game! I really liked the wave and cat graphics. I don't think that's the intended experience, but I played solely for distance, so I reached 5795m when I lost my last cat (and ended up with the amazing score of 0). The waves got absurdly high at that distance, which was pretty fun. Overall, good entry!
This is pretty great! The graphics are well done and adorable and the lifesavers when the cats fall off was a great touch. The scoring system is pretty innovative too. I wish more of the screen could've been taken up by the cats though. They seemed so small and hard to see.
The presentation was clean, liked the water shader & the cute round animals a lot! The concept of keeping the animals on top of the unstable ferry matched well with the theme. As for criticism, the controls felt a bit wonky. Perhaps there could have been an option to tilt the ferry forwards and backwards as well as from left to right? Some music would also have gone a long way to spice up the mood alongside the ambient sound, but overall this is a solid entry. Well done for 48 hours!
Simple yet well built idea. I had a ton of fun, though I lost almost all of my cats in the first stage learning the controls haha.
Great game! The controls for balancing felt nice and was a lot of fun. I like that I had to learn to anticipate the incoming waves. The wave are very readable so I had plenty of time to react.
Huh, such a cute small game. Smiled each time when some pet got to lifebuoy ring due to falling :cat: Great submission!
Oh they're soo cute And the game is really unstable! Good entry!
Interesting game, reminds me of an old Physics joke, imagine a cow is a sphere. I kept getting the controls backwards, and each time the next stage started I would sent cats flying off the side as I had to remember which way was the right way. If I played it for a long time it would be come natural, but it felts backwards to me. Nice compo entry, fit the theme.
I think the game idea and the way it looked is quite funny. Good job on the wave mechanics too. The actual win condition, that you had to choose when to stop I thought was a bit weird. Good theme implementation too. The idea is not that innovative but a nice and simple game. Good job! Ah yeah and the lifeboats were adorable, nice touch!
Simple but so effective xD Thanks god cats are okay at all. Keep it up !
This is a really great idea !
:cat: The cats are really cute, but I think you fed them a bit too much.
Anyway, this is a nice relaxing game with nice graphics and fitting sound effects.
The catballs are adorable. Ended up playing the game for a couple minutes. Gameplay feels smooth and intuitive. I didn't like the forced pause at the stage completion popup because I'd often mess up which direction to start with after the pause. With some music and maybe some difficulty ramp up this could be really entertaining!
The spherical cats are just the best. Missed some meowing sounds ;) I like this interpretation of the theme, and it plays well. Giving the player a choice to risk and continue or take the point gathered thus far is really smart.
Ambient sound were cool, but some energetic music would take this small game to the next level.
This was just super fun and adorable. I had a blast watching them roll around! Had me laughing and aww-ing. I think the way you implemented the score (keep going, or submit) is really smart, too! It was a good challenge.
Fun game, with a cool gameplay idea. Congratulations on your contribution.
Cute game! I liked the dynamic you tried to go for, with balancing risk and reward. I think if there was a bit more depth it would be super fun if the game went deeper, adding more mechanics, but this was great for only 48 hours and solo. Good work!
