This game is adorable and wonderful. Very cute idea with great art. Playing this made me happy!
the art is amazing (kittens could have used 1 or 2 sprite variants). visual feedback from feeding the cats could be a bit improved, but nice job overall ! currently 9 kitten in our kitchen !
Kitties are cute, but I still don't understand if the cat is fed xD Seems like all of them had their personal black hole in their bellies! Well done!
This game's art is super cute! I got a score of 34. Nice job!
Cute little cats!
This game is so cute. Never seen such a Cute Fuzzy Mayhem! image_2022-10-03_020308936.png
Cute and chaotic, an amazing combination. (Love the art when picking a cat up)
Not a very intensive game and it was hard to tell when I was about to lose, but the graphics are just fantastic.
Love, love love the artwork. I do wish, however, that there was better feedback when the cats eat (as others have noted).
Great art!
Cats. This my type of game. Also it is hard.
Pretty cool, the digital miaows were impressive. The UI tool shelf vs left/right click was a bit cumbersome, although maybe was that deliberate to add challenge :smile: ?

omgosh there is literally nothing in the world cuter than the sprite for when you pick up one of the cats- i want to hug this game
This is such a cute game! Cutest sprites ever I love it and the *meow*, soooo cutee!!
Btw, you can patch the awkward embedding! Directly modifying these two width and height lines to the values shown allows the embed to fit in Ludum Dare's embed.
```JavaScript /// ... code above ... canvas.style.width = "925px"; canvas.style.height = "512px"; } /// ... code below ... ```
Very cute, a fun interpretation of the theme! I liked the method of difficulty ramp on this one, just having the sprites get in the way of each other was clever and sold the increasing number of kitties. Well done!
omg we both made cat games!
This game is adorable I love the adorable mayham hehe
Very cute. One thing I'll point out is that it's not clear where on the food dish the cursor is (i.e. which bit needs to be touching in order to successfully feed the cat), which seems like an important thing to know in a game that's all about clicking on things hidden behind other things. But overall it's a nice little polished & complete game with cute sprites/animations, and I had fun with it.
I loved the game although i wish there were a few more sfx but overal its a lovely game
Very cute and challenging. Love the artsytle!
Very cute little game. I loved the aesthetic. I liked that the challenge of the game came naturally.
Impressive pixel arts and moods.. Love cute furry cats! It could be nice to have a keyboard shortcut selecting grab or feed :D
Didn't know that kittens eat so much... Very cute
Cute :cat: Congratulations for the art ! It's nice to play. I like music that fits the mood.
Very cute! I love the art style and sound effects!
It's so cute! Congrats on the great submission! :D
An accurate depiction of what my life will probably look like in 30 years. Final score: 39
Adorable! I love the artwork, especially the cat when it's being picked up.
wow picking up the cat : nice work! What a lot kittens do I have .. where do they all come from? I have to tell my GF not to let the door open!
Good one. Very enjoyable.
Fun and a cute aesthetic. Maybe occasionally forcing an order that some cats needed to be fed would just add a little more sense of urgency and fun.
so many kitties
Looked cute but I personally think the implemented "every 10 seconds" is more of a normal difficulty curve than something that follows the theme.
Art was really great tho.
So many kitties haha :D Really nice game
Amazing art style! I really liked how the animations are made.
Since you also made a spawning kitty game, of course I had to rate it!! :) Great art and vibe - reminded me a lot of the original Tamagotchi I had in junior high. I think adding a few features can easily make it a full game.
I love the art style, it is a cute sight to see so many kittens running around and gives such a great vibe!
The only thing I would change is the sounds that kittens make so it's a bit different, cause it can get loud and annoying quickly, but overall it's a wonderfull game!
Cool pixel artstyle with nice colors, nice idea and most important.... CAAAAAATS!! :3 10/10
Very cute! Cat'nt go wrong with cats!
Hey, really fun game! I loved the art and the little kittens uwu, I got likke 20 together hahaha. Check my game if you want to!
Really cute cattie and really love the animation!
The graphics were absolutely adorable! I love pink and I love cats. I wish instructions would have been a part of the game itself as a menu option. I died fast the first time because I did not know to scroll down to figure out how to feed them. Once I did get the hang of it, I got bored fairly quickly. I wish there would have been more options to do with the cats because the art was sooo cute!
Overall: Very cute, love the visuals and audio. Hard to tell when a cat is feed and how close they are to needing to be fed again, this resulted in just spamming every cat with all the food. Overall solid and enjoyable. Well done!
Fun: Had a smile the whole time while I played it! The caveat is I didn't play for a super long time as I felt I saw all there was too see at around 8-12 cats.
Innovation: While I didn't feel any particular idea or mechanic was pushed to new heights what you presented was well executed and enjoyable.
Theme: A cate every ten seconds. :ballot_box_with_check:
Graphics: Love the cutesy pixel art style! :two_hearts:
Audio: SFX really sold the retro pixel style and added to the cute factor.
Humor: Infinite kitties, not bad!
Mood: A bit mixed, relaxing vibes but game play design encourages rapid clicking. The mood the game leaves you with though, peaceful purrfection.
I very much wanted to not disappoint the kitties but I was not very good at this one haha. Super cute game! I like how it feels like I'm a very overworked cat-cafe attendant.
I'd love to see the addition of some more treats, some cute munching sounds to add feedback to feeding time, and bigger particles to show the eating state a little better. This could make for a really cute idle game title!
Oh god its so damn cute. Even the meowing is cute. Also its fun in general but who cares about that when you find yourself drowning in cuteness like this
Adorable art! I think I got carpal syndrome from trying to feed my 20 kitties. Love the animations of picking them up.
This reminds me a lot of the (super ancient) cat games by GIGA-RENSYA ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTpTzrKd8jg ) and Louie Zong's games ( https://everydaylouie.itch.io/cat-dance )
Interesting seeing Bosca Ceoil being used! How was your experience with it?
Man I can barely type after that! So much clicking, and I could've sworn there's more than 33 cats, but that was my score. What was the other thing in the sidebar besides the food bowl? Love the game. And the colors/art reminded me of Good Pizza Great Pizza.
great graphic altho a bit repetative
Nice kitty game. I like the pixel art, a lot of games use mixels but you kept it mostly pure. I saw that the mouse cursor was mixels. To fix that you can make the cursor invisible and make a gameobject follow the mouse with a sprite-renderer! I did cat game too :v:
It's so cute! I got 12 scores!
oh, what a blast hahahaha how something so simple can be this fun! I loved the art style and the sound design, everything fitted really well together, congrats!
Very cute game. Love the style!
I must admit I would have enjoyed a bit more gameplay features, but indeed cute art, well executed
@clonze Hi! The game's artist here - Thanks for the advice. I assume 'mixels' refers to the pixels not being consistent in size with the others? Let me know if that's correct. In any case, I appreciate the advice, so thank you so much!
@zubi yup!
Kitties are sooooo cute! This enjoyable game reminds me of some relaxing games on mobile devices.
The pixel art is great with comfortable color. I really love it. =w=
@poboy Haha, thank you so much but don't hurt yourself! I actually love that you showed us games that reminded you of ours! It's so fun to see!
Ralf recommended Bosca Ceoil to me. Even though it was my first time using the software, I didn't feel overwhelmed by the options. Sure, there's a lot of instruments they give you to work with, but I just took my time with it. It was a treat being able to experiment with it all! (For reference, I made the "Game Over" track and Ralf made the "Main Theme"). I recommend it, especially for making simple game soundtracks!
I love the art style and the background loop is cute too.
Game wise I was just clicking a bunch haha - was unsure on what the towel thing did
Good job!
Wow that's a lot of cats πΊ Congrats on this cute little game! Love the graphics and overall mood!
Awesome, really cool little cat game here. Who doesnt love cats?! Nice graphics, great theme and a sweet mood to this game!
Amazing game and so so cute!!!
this game is so cute! great job
CUTE CATS! 5/5!! What a cute idea with amazing art!!
Cute game. Gets really hectic really fast, but the graphics and sounds are great! Simple concept and easy to grasp too. Nice work!
Artstyle is amazing
The cutest Ludum Dare game!
I love the graphics, the cats are super cute. I was able to get really far with just using the feed option, and I didn't really have a reason to switch to move cats out of the way.
Regardless, great job on the game! I got to 41!Screenshot 2022-10-04 235301.png
Very cute, pretty graphics, but the gameplay gets a little boring after the first couple of minutes (nothing seemed to stop me from just spamming food on all the cats)
Lot of fun! Really cute idea and it felt like the game did everything it needed to, great job!
Very clever idea:) Cute cats and what's better than feeding your loved animal:)!
Cute. Kittens. That says it all. Nothing attracts people to the Internet like previews of kittens. I'm not gonna lie, I was attracted to it, too. The gameplay is monotonous, you might even call it boring, but Almighty Lord, how cute these kittens are, especially when you drag and drop them. The soundtrack isn't bad either, for getting an afternoon dose of cuteness the game is perfect
Very cute game with nice art-style
Nice game, I love the art style. It looks really good
The kitties are so cute ^_^ Love the art style and the chill gameplay. Good job :)
Cute game, the idea is simple and efficient! I love the "picked cat" sprite. It would be handy to be able to use the right click to catch the cats and the left click to feed them.
That's adorable!)
I just didn't understood full well when the cats are fed and when they are not.
Very cute game, graphics are absolutely beautiful. Gameplay design feels solid too. Great job!
Very fun and cute game! Although I did come across a bug, where some of my kittens got stuck on the wall.
Really cool idea!
Love the art! So cute! Those are some hungry kitties :)
The kitty is so cute! Amazing art! Maybe you guys can develop more interaction with the cats. Well done!
@tao-yuanyue Thank you! I agree. I'm so grateful for all the comments we've received on the subject, giving us plenty of ideas on how to improve the interaction design and feedback in our game. I value all of the constructive criticism we've received and I will definitely take this advice with me to implement it in my next game! πΈ
The art is adorable!! I wish there was a way to quickly switch between the grab hand and the food bowl (maybe a keyboard shortcut?) I think it'd also be nice to have more feedback to the player about the hunger levels of each cat. And maybe if you make future iterations, you could add different kinds of food for different effects? Very whimsical game :)
Oh my god this is the cutest game I've ever seen. The art is gorgeous. Cute cat sounds too. The pickup was so satisfying! On first run it's a bit hard to tell what the two icons represent but it's quickly realized by trying. Super simple idea but I spent way too much time on this :D Really good job of taking a simple mechanic and making an engaging game around it through sheer cuteness! Great amount of polish too. Well done!
Reminds me of Dwarf Fortress somehow.
simple but cute and nicely polished for what is there. As others have said, cat sprite variation would have been awesome, and yes the kittens do seem to have an endless capacity for food, but an easy to understand and navigate jam game with a nice cohesive look is a good accomplishment :) nice work.
Simple and quick to pick up. It is a bit difficult to tell if the kitten is fed or not. Starts to feel like you have to let them get hungry before you do anything.
I will say the very first thing I did was find that I could just drag the kitten off screen and that was a game over lol. I assume that explains the hand. Also, I can't seem to restart randomly. That includes from the main menu. If I click on 'Menu' after failing, and I click 'Play', I sometimes have to hit restart immediately? Not sure.
I loved the graphics and the music for sure and I enjoyed my time playing.
such a cute game, loved the art and the music, i only wish i could interact with the cats in more ways, really enjoyed it
More Cats! NICE! Would love to see a ending scene / Game over scene full of catsss! Pixel cat the best!
Very pleasant and relaxing. Ideal after work)
very cute game
CuteοΌthe art is amzing.
by the way. use this in Index.html to avoid broder ```
```Cute game but the gameplay is essentially a click masher, i would have loved to be able to put down the bowl and have to replenish it as hungry kittens get impatient. Two little issues I had: - Some kittens popped their heads out of the right border and stayed there for long, I clicked on them but had no feedback of if they were fed or not - The sound effects can sometimes plays on top of each other leading to a huge spike volume causing saturation.
more cute cats!!!
Very cute game ! just one note : having items in a left zone out of screen, and having to click to make them show, is sometimes a bit difficult. Maybe having them always on screen?
Very addicting game! Almost gave me carpal tunnel! Suggestion: allow moving the cats with Left Click and Feeding them with rightclick, as the menu was buggy and a bit hard to navigate under stress. Overall, very cute game, love the pixel art.
A game where you fail if a cat hasn't been fed for several seconds? Are you sure you're not my cat? Great game! Super cute, I loved the digital meows and just the whole look of it. I agree with other comments suggesting to make scruffing easier. Maybe left click to feed and right click to scruff. As it was, I was sort of just left to madly click the feed button as quickly as I could (but maybe that's the point too)
I love the art of the game, it's sooo cute. Now I hear all the "meows" of the cats in my head :laughing:
meow,meow meow, meowmeowmeow, meow-meow, MEOW.(human make cute cat game, all meowdum dare human should make cat game.)
Besides the cats are cute, I really don't know what the purpose of this game. I fed them for minutes then I just got bored and got game over. I mean you may have 3 cats and than it's done. You have cats. But 20?! :D
There definitely was a lot of cats! Very cute artwork and sound, and I like the idea of herding this giant group of thousands of cats! As others have said, would have liked to see an indicator of how fed each cat is, but overall cool game!
this is meowsome! ααα’
I made an audible sound when I started playing this because cute kitties are cute xD
Adorable ha ha love how the kittens are animated <3!!! The inly thing is that their meows are not actually like meow sound I also have a game with cats which you can check if you want :sweat_smile: This is also my first game :)
Oh dang that's a lotta cats
I love the carrying animation, it's so cute!
Haha reminds me of that time I had 6 cats at once... quite the memories lol. I absolutly love the art style of this game and the cute idea! really well done
If I stop playing these cats might starve! Send help!
So cute, loved the art.
Very cute game. My wife saw the cover photo and said: PLAY THIS!!
Pros: - Cute art & cool idea!
Cons: - It was really hard to understand how to feed the cats at first - It was also hard to see when I was going to lose or not. Maybe with more visual and sound effects?
Bugs: - I lost the game with the food thing selected and my cursor stayed like this even in the menus - Sometimes I couldn't close or open the right menu :/
@melbadream Thank you for your feedback and the bug report! We had another problem with the cursor when uploading it to itch.io; it suddenly increased in size by __a lot__! I have no clue why the cursor does that οΌοΈΏοΌ It might just have a mind of its own...
Very cute game I love the sprites! The chaotic energy of feeding 10s of kittens is really something lol. Would love to see this game expanded by adding more needs other than feeding. Great work.
This games has : - cats - adorable pixel art - a music loop that will turn in your head minutes after playing - more cats
Should you play? Yes.
This game is the definition of maximum meme potential, and I can see why it has become so popular aleady. It starts nice and cute, ends exactly as the title suggests. Very meta, I like the spirit.
The pixel art is nice, the music has the right amount of catchiness (but it's also a short loop to provide the "nyan cat" effect). The theme implementation is actually brilliant, because it's extremely simple and easy to notice, and yet it has the power to completely turn the perception on gameplay as the game progresses.
I found extremely annoying how the side panel pops automatically, especially when I had to feed kittens on the far right but... at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it was done on purpose just for the sake of adding chaos to chaos.
I have to admit, when I got to this point I felt a strange sense of fulfillment, and for some reason I can't explain it reminded me of how a friend of mine became literally obsessed for weeks with a flash game where you are a constantly running unicorn, all the way back in middle school. It was called Robot Unicorn Attack, if I remember correctly. I completely removed it, so thanks for the memories I guess. Cat Mayhem.png
cat game never went out
I love this so much, all those cute kittens... :heart:
ππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Loved the art and the game is super funny :) great work!
An overwhelming amount of cats.
The cutest game I've ever seen! A game with cats is always perfect :3
I wish a cat come to me every 10 seconds in real life too
Aaaaah cuteness overload, I can't even~
First, well executed game, beautiful pixel art, I adore the kittens, and the animations.
Second, well placed game poster (image) Kittens and html5, its clever and it works, well done :)
Third.. kittens, so many, very cute. Left to be desired more diversity in the kittehs, where is tabby, orangy and blackie :)
Overall very well thought through, well made and executed. Runs find in Safari browser.
Really cute art-style and innovative game. Great job!
Love the art and the concept. When the cats started to meow my cat started to meow too so it was a meow concert for me xd. Really fun and I love it!!
watching cute cats has never stressed me this much in my entire life
Ended up with 30 kitties by the end of it! I enjoyed it a lot during that time :laughing:! I wish you could have assigned the grab hand to right click, food hand to left click or the other way around; just some way to do both at the same time without having to open up a menu for it! But other than that, I have no real advice for you! It's a simple game, and I think you two executed it as well as you could have with your idea! Keep it up, this was really great! :)
Ahhhh so cute! Had fun with this, I wish it was easier to switch between the food and hand (right click to grab the kitty maybe?) The art and sound and everything worked well together and it's a fun little game loop, great job!
Played three times, did not get why I lost every time. Some kind of tutorial is what I would love to have
cute ^^ i had 35 by the end but I have to admit I gave up haha. I did consider using an auto clicker though :smiling_imp: to become a true cat lady
Love the art syle! :3 Not gonna lie, I didn't make it very far: death by a clouder of kitten. Cuteness overload :D Well done to the team <3
Adorable cats, would have loved to see some variations in the sprites but very cute nonetheless. The meowing was a little annoying after a while, and I didn't really vibe with having to open up the menu to switch "tools". What would have also improved your game a lot is some sort of indicator when I should be feeding a cat, and maybe some sort of punishment for overfeeding a cat. As it was I was just spam clicking all the cats and that got boring fast. Fun concept, and would love to see more depth to the gameplay!
The art was absolutely fantastic!
Game is cute, but became redundant pretty quickly. It's a neat little idea for a jam though. I like the meowing sound effect. :D Good job!
Picking the cats up is super cute!
I have cats and that was super stressful when I couldnt get to them all haha
Very cute
Reminded me of Diablo
Such a cute game!!
Cute game!
The art style is great, and the simple idea works fine.
I would have liked a bit more feedback, like something telling me which cat my cursor was currently targeting for exemple, and maybe something indicating more precisely how close I was to losing. Also, the food icon replacing basic cursor when hovering a cat was a bit buggy. I didn't find the hand tool very useful. I guess it's meant to push cats that are in front of another cat? It's often easier to target the pixels that still shows. Maybe finding another simple mechanic to force a bit more swaps between those two tools would be cool.
Great job and thanks for the game, I had a nice time!
Simple and funny!
Nice music and visuals. Maybe the visual feedback and the controls could be improved (keys to switch between tools?) to let the player reach a higher cat number easier and keep things under control a bit longer (and reduce frustration while enforcing the chaotic situation).
I enjoyed it!
So cuteοΌI love the pixelartοΌThe screen limits the number of cats I can have... lol
Love the graphics! The cats look so cute when you pick them up! Great work on this one.
Great job! This game looks awesome with the art that you did and the animations go along with it all perfectly well. Definitely gets chaotic quickly when you get a lot, I definitely didn't need to use the hand until there got to be a whole lot. Nice job!
Cute entry... a bit simple maybe. It took me a little while to figure out what to actually do. I had no audio - and didn't catch the feedback when actually feeding them :smile: I thought that the food bowl had to be placed on the floor :shrug:
Good job :thumbsup_tone1:
I did wish that the feedback when you feed them was a bit more obvious. It was cute but after the 10th one, it was more of a click masher game for me and got old pretty quick. Maybe more cat variations would help? Sometimes the hitboxes were wonky where I'd click on the cat but they didn't get fed. Neat nevertheless.
β cool graphics
β fun music and sounds
β good use of the theme
β it is not clear what to do at the beginning, there is no response from feeding
β get bored quickly
Kitten are very cute. We should have put kitten instead of bunny in our game. Anyway, it's something similar in our game to feed the babies.
very cute aesthetics, but it was a bit unclear what I was supposed to be doing at first.
I got a score of 29
It's a cute game, but I started to quickly hate the music and the sound effect. I think it's also too easy since you just have to spam click the cats to stay in the game. I got a score of 16 which I recognize is low but I didn't really wanted to continue playing more.
The graphics are very cute and the gameplay can probably be improved ! Keep up the good work :smile: !
Cats ate me instead.
I believe a lot of community members will agree this is one of the best game played. Thatβs the reason it got much love and so much exposure.
Congratulations to all team members!
Good job
