Disappointed I couldn't use the scratching post to move up like the guests, but still a solid gameplay and cute theming. The music is adorable.

Very cute game!

This game is so cute! I wish the jumps were less floaty, but the cute cat noises and the graphics kept me playing. I'm a little confused about the numbers under the cats, sometimes I would have 3 cats with the number 2 under them. There was one small bug where a cat is just standing still at the check in, facing the other direction. I can't check in with the cat either. see image: Capture.PNG

The cuteness and sound design really make up for the wonky game feel and basic visuals!

Hello fellow cat game developer. +cute +enjoyed :cat:

Cute aesthetic. I love the meows. The jump is floaty. An indicator that a customer is unhappy would have been nice too, which would allow you to make the game more hectic like games like Diner Dash. There were times where I was just standing around waiting for cats to arrive or need something. Also, J was a strange choice to use as a button to check in cats as the button isn't naturally where my hands would want to be when controlling the game.

Hey, another cat themed game! Honestly, I like this idea a lot. I like the concept of having the time linked to guest happiness. I think the controls are a bit too floaty and I wish I could climb the poles like the other cats, but I like the mechanic of cleaning a room by running around. Makes me think of a cat kicking around in their litter box.

Super cute! I was hoping to climb up the poles like the other cats did instead of having to jump up there. Definitely spent more time falling from jumping... but =m.u.s.t= clean the rooms, kitties are getting angry!

I love the cat tree hotel. The art and the music fit very well and it's very pleasant to play. It like that we have to move in the room to clean it, it's a good way to interact without adding an extra input. As a scoring game, to add a retry button at the end could be interesting. Good job !

Adorable looking game. Wish the controls (and the jump specifically) weren't so floaty and that there was more variety to the possible gameplay scenarios, but still a joy to play.

I like the cat scratching posts platforming, it's cute. And the noise the cats make when checking in is cute too. The close button isn't working and I don't know how to restart the game.

The cats are so cute! Love the idea of a cat tree hotel and a cat bellhop. Jumping around the different platforms to get to the rooms was so fun. Would've loved to be able to interact with the other cats a bit more.

You can never go wrong with cats! Cute idea, fun visual style and music!

65 fish coins! Nice game!

Cool game, cute visual style, nice music! I like it)

Adorable! The cats are so cute and the style blends so well with the music and sound effects haha. I like others before me wish you could climb up the posts like the other cats but still a fun and cute game nonetheless!

Great job friend :)

Fun game. Graphics and music are very cute and work well together. Loved the little meows when checking in. The collisions boxes felt a little wide when jumping up platforms. Not sure what the highest possible score is, but I managed to keep all cats happy and ended with and 80

Loved the cat bellhop! Overall it was entertaining and also hilarious. Cleaning the rooms was a nice touch. Well done.

josephldooley 2022-10-05 22:45

cute game, I got 80 points! loved the little white cat peaking through the windows, that was hilarious

Funny how it starts, I see the volume bar but it's all quiet and I keep thinking "where is the sound" and then the atmosphere just explodes with cuteness. Couldn't stop playing until I got a rating of pure 100. Would definitely carry on, was I not sure that I've sadly seen&done everything there is in the game.

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems guest density per play is random, which didn't always work well as sometimes the joint would be empty, and it's more fun to manage more of the cats at the same time.

Now of course cats are cute, but touches like makeshift cardboard reception and smileys are quite awesome.
