lol, fun game :)

Cute game, The movement/controls feel super similar to bouncing a toy(like a feather on a string) for a cat in real life.

So fun, my efforts were not enough to distract the cat, just like my real life one... This game is very realistic. I loved the music, and it's really cute art too.

@squaxcom Thank you for playing!

danashrulez 2022-04-04 09:59

@jibberwocky Thanks for trying out the game! I really enjoyed your entry!

danashrulez 2022-04-04 10:00

@payaosito ahahaha!!! thanks for giving my game a try!

Cute game! I love the sunglasses on the cat. I feel like the game would be better if there was some more progression. Currently I felt like it was a bit too easy and I probably could have gone forever.

Also while playing my eyes were focused on the laser so I couldn't pay attention to the distraction meter at the bottom. If the distraction gauge was part of the background somehow I think it would have been easier to guess how well I was doing.

Anyway great game. Loved that pixel art.

@dennis-magnusson thanks alot for the detailed review! Yes now that you said that I can see how the distraction meter being below would be an issue!

For progression I was thinking of ways to unlock new cat and laser skins but failed to implement them on time :P

Thanks for letting me know! Much appreciated!

I love the animation at the end, when the cat spills the glass with sun glasses. Very funny haha. Even it is not explained what to do we understand very easily. Good game design, very cute and well done ! :)

@sirjupitron thanks alot for giving my game a try :3

Original idea. It has some of the "one more try" vibe. Like the art style.

mrscythe 2022-04-04 16:10

Haha, fun simple game with a very cute art style :D

chilljams 2022-04-04 16:12

The art is well-made & expressive, & the gameplay of getting the laser on the mirror is decently entertaining. The time between losing & the retry screen feels a little long, but other than that this was a fun little game!

kemp 2022-04-04 16:13

Nice game! It's like an infinite fishing minigame. The music and overall mood/feeling of the game is great - super cutesy and lighthearted. My highscore was 2:46 and I think the only reason I lost it from there was my fingers falling asleep haha

gonzo13 2022-04-04 16:14

Pretty one game! Fun stuff with cool art. :sunglasses:

ds-nahogara 2022-04-04 16:34

I like this game! I've reach 0:56! Close to a minute, it feels hard to keep the ball in the mirror. Also a huge fan of the cat glasses. Great job :v:

nethead 2022-04-04 18:50

SO CUTE :D managed to break the 1:00 mark. Really like the idea of making a single button game like this, works really well for a jam ^^

I hate it when my cat kncoks a glass of the counter and then puts on sunglasses to give me a smug look. cute and fun little arcade game.

s1lv3r-dr4g0n-games 2022-04-05 03:15

Cleanly done, reminds me a bit of a Warioware microgame. Has that good addictive quality.

sebastian-filloy 2022-04-05 03:58

Interesting concept and game. Liked the pixelart, music and sound effects. Really cute.

danashrulez 2022-04-05 08:20

@mrscythe thanks for giving my game a try! I had a really fun time with yours!

danashrulez 2022-04-05 09:01

@chilljams thanks alot for your valuable feedback! I should have maybe given a way to skip that! Thanks for letting me know!

danashrulez 2022-04-05 09:09

@kemp thanks for giving my game a try and your valuable feedback!

@gonzo13 thanks for checking it out!

rowlna 2022-04-05 09:28

Very cute!! It feels like stardew fishing and you can get pretty far if you're good! Cute music good job everyone!

bauke-regnerus 2022-04-05 09:29

This game is 100% accurate about having a cat. :D Short game but executed very well.

reronin 2022-04-05 09:29

Ahw yiss a kitty! Oh no, my glass!

Got to 42 seconds after a few tries. Fun game!

heremeus 2022-04-05 09:33

Congrats on finishing your first LD submission! The game is very pleasing visually. The cat is a cute little bastard :laughing: Also well done on including music for your entry! That's a tough one for compo projects.

Managed to sustain the cat for 48 Seconds!

Pros:

- Flappy bird in the sheep's skin - Predictable gameplay, which gives room for improving the skill of the player - Pixel art in this mobile format work nice together - Extra Meow for the cat! - Good difficulty steep - Little bit of music in Compo is always a plus (and tells you how brutal 48hr is)

Cons:

- Unfortunately, with that kind of aspect of the screen, it is very hard to keep your eyes on the distraction meter to understand how well / bad you're doing. I think one of the solution would be to put a meter in a frame around each mirror, so you're not only focused on the laser, but have your eyes on the context. - Subjective: Color palette could be a bit better, as the green and yellow seems a bit distracting each other

Nontheless, great first submission! Take my :cat: of appreciacion and keep up the good work!

skruffye 2022-04-06 12:06

Wow, that's frustrating...! Really simple concept, looked really good with sound to match the graphics. Good job!

cosmicallity 2022-04-07 05:02

A nice simple concept is all you need sometimes to make a fun game! Also nice graphics, and you gotta love a cat game.
