Sorry to hear you run out of time, but that happens during game jams, frequently. The art is cute and the idea is interesting. I hope I have a cat that can distract me from work, lol. Good job.

Cute game. Some good ideas there.
Meu deus que coisa hilária xD
Esse efeito sonoro é de mais 🤣
Genial, por mim ganhava a JAM.
The cat is very cute, though there isn't really enough time between emails to look away at him without running out of time to reply.
Nice, cute entry. Balancing is done a bit frustratingly and the UI is quite tight, but for the time it's made in, not too bad.
Cute art, and glad you had the cat yowling after getting sprayed :laughing:! It was a little bit frustrating to play though. Maybe one quick thing that would improve the balance is to have an indicator to warn which room the cat is about to do something naughty in.
I adore the art style!
It took me a bit to figure out there was more than one direction (other than the laptop) that I could look in - I thought this was progressive disclosure at first, but it turns out I just didn't notice one of the arrows XD.
I agree with some of the other comments - the balancing is a little unforgiving. Some things I would try: - Leave the bar where it is when you turn away, rather than having the email regress when you're not holding the button. As it is, the emails undo themselves when you're not looking. - Auto-select each new email as it comes in. - (I assume you wouldn't have had time to implement this anyway <3 ) Rank the emails by urgency, and allow the player to right-click on the less urgent ones to 'apologise' and buy more time. - Panning the cat sound to indicate where to look for him.
Thanks for making this! It made me smile :)
I'm kind of confused about whether the cat is doing evil or not. It seems that I stress myself out(?) before the cat actually destroy something lol.
I like your art style!
I like your art style!
This was quite enjoyable for a few minutes once I figured it all out. Like some other people I managed to not see the arrows at first, and I only figured out how to reply to emails on my second go. The art style is nice!
This game is really hard! Took a while to realise where to click, perhaps the buttons could animate and pop out in some way. funny art style, captures the essence of the demon :)
This is adorable and very difficult to concentrate on with my own cat going on a rampage behind me! Love the art style and looks very nicely put together. If you hadn't have said about less polish than you were used to, I would have honestly thought the start and intro pages were just part of the humour!
Gameplay wasn't immediately obvious (although I assume instructions would have been included on the intro page if you had time). Like other people have said, it might be nice to have some kind of indicator leading up to "naughty" behaviour although I don't think having to look in multiple rooms is terrible since there's only a couple and adds to the stress!
Love the sound effects of the cat although I hope no cats were harmed in the making!
Overall, a cute fun game that was well put together in the time and I really enjoy your sense of humour.
