Your game is quite literally like trying to herd cats! Nice job on the aesthetics!
I like how the cats fly past me in my peripheral vision when I try to catch them
This game is just awesome !!! I could play it for hours ! love the way you hold the big cats in your hands !! this gqme deserve lot of rate for sure !!
I really like the cat behavior, running and stopping in random nooks. It's very well balanced too!
Cool look and feel for the game. Those cats are hard to catch. My first playthrough, I only snagged one cat near the end, then I had no idea what to do with it. After re-reading the instructions, I realized what I should have done. The music, art, and content all work well together for an interesting vibe that I really liked. Great work.
Nice simple concept that works. Good style and humor - love the frenetic music and the Doomguy style portrait in the corner. Well done!
Perfectly frustrating, as herding cats should be. I love the face in the corner and the music (reminds me of the classic DOOM E1M1). Nice work!
Well, these cats are doomed cuz I can't catch them :rofl: Great game, love the avatar expressions!
@videogamescrapbook Thanks for playing! I was very happy with how it ended up looking!
@sean-esopenko Thanks for playing! Yea they are hard to catch for sure :grin:
@mealky Thanks for playing and the kind words, I love the cats too :heart:
@rumiaobsessed Thanks for playing! Yea they try to run away from you, and if you're sprinting they will notice you sooner!
@the3rdhunter Thanks for playing! I'm very happy with how the feel of the game turned out, despite my ambitions for multiple levels and such. I did not have time for an in-game tutorial unfortunately!
@braktheman Thanks for playing! The music was my favorite part to work on! And yes, I was trying to evoke doom as much as possible!
@joshedev Thanks for playing! E1M1 was my inspiration, so I'm glad it came through!
@khaotom Thanks for playing! I'm very happy with how the avatar turned out!
This is beautiful. It took me a few goes to get used to the way the controls feel with my hands, and then I only managed to hide two cats. Very challenging with a trackpad for someone who doesn't typically play mouse and keyboard games, but the concept, aesthetics, animations, and cat AI are so great that I didn't care how rubbish I was!
@yndajas Thanks for playing! Yea the controls can be a bit challenging! Hiding them all is difficult...
I loved this game so much. Such an interesting idea. The art is beautiful. Don't have much to critique, really solid entry.
This is very accurate to trying to catch cats in real life. Very fun
Those cats sure are slippery! Succeeded in three tries — could I have just hidden in the bathroom with the last cat? Not a very thorough inspection, but that's AI for ya.
@zomk Thanks for playing! I'm glad the art came out like it did! I used a palette generator and it really helped. https://acerola.gg/colors.html
@ciber-turtle Thanks for playing! Real-life accuracy was my #1 goal :laughing:
@caeonosphere Thanks for playing! Yes you could have! I never implemented the robolandlord seeing you holding a cat...
Doom Kitty! I sadly couldn't play for too long as I got too dizzy XD ahaha. This would have been one of the few FPS that I would have wanted to play ahhaah
This game is so fun to play, really well done !!
Thanks for submitting the game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod timestamped to your game

great game, aboslutely nailed the mood and pressure that the AI overlords could bring. But seriously, the music brought a real degree of anxiety, the cats were really elusive but not annoylingly so, and of course I loved the graphics.
Great work! Loved the atmosphere and the doom vibes. The PNGs at the top right were such a nice touch! This game reminds me of trying to get my cats in the car to go to the vet, the cats just scattering as I run around with a leash trying to grab them lol. Loved the game!
Surprisingly fun, the cats are pretty slippery, but I managed to catch them all!
Damn cats!!Damn cats!! The color is a strong shade of orange on the floor it gave me a headache. Cats are difficult to catch, but I found it fun and original
Omg, i love this game, very nice submission.
@rincs Thanks for playing! Yea it can definitely get disorienting! I included sensitivity controls to hopefully help with that
@padlynn Thanks so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@ategon Thanks for playing on stream!
@zee-yuen Thanks for playing! I'm very glad with how the music and art came together.
@shaner421 Thanks for playing. I was trying to get a doom vibe so I'm glad it came across!
@cdunham Thanks for playing, and good job on catching them all!
@lincolnsalles Thanks for playing! I'm sorry about the floor color! I originally planned to have a palette changer but ran into issues with the shader.
@sevenone Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed.
Fun concept I was terrible at it though lol my best was 2 cats, the art style was amazing though!
Very fun game and concept! The art was great as well. Screw the AI overlords!
I was very pleased with the mood of this game
