Very much enjoyed this game, great all round!

dkertai 2023-10-02 22:05

I have no idea how you came up with this but the *story* is amazing

gowie 2023-10-02 22:05

So frantic, I love it

dioinecail 2023-10-02 22:08

Poor cats, i couldn't save them all If only there was a "cat collection" and i could view all the saved cats :)

donitz 2023-10-02 22:10

Had to abandon some of the silly cats. Now I'm sad.

casper935 2023-10-02 22:14

Very well done! Loved the music/sound effects and the gameplay is very smooth and entertaining.

There is a great temptation to ask where you got their inspiration from... But I’ll get by, okay! Anyway, you have a very energetic and fun game. Saving cats is always cool, especially such strange ones.

jaspior 2023-10-03 00:18

So, where did you find inspiration for this game???? Jokes aside, getting used to the control takes a while, but it's a very enjoyable game!

ynnon 2023-10-03 07:31

Good job, very funny gameplay, it makes you always be ready for obstacles, but sometimes the camera can't keep up with the player, anyway all fine.

iron-head 2023-10-03 07:57

@ynnon thank you for your feedback. I have to mention that the camera moves with the wave as intended. It provides a constant challenge for the player. If a player is too fast for that wave, that's great. It means he has skillfully navigated the obstacles and deserves some time to think before the next ones.

It's brilliant if you did it all yourself, 10/10 for everything. Where should I send money?

rongon 2023-10-03 08:55

I really enjoyed it, the audio and cats are 10/10. It a bit hard since there isn't much time to anticipate the obstacles, expecially the jumping one, but it's fun. I can really feel the anxiety and rush for saving those poor cats, and trying to imagine all those cats in the box while the good guy is running away. On the spot with the theme, great game :)

iron-head 2023-10-03 09:25

@rongon Thank you very much. I am glad to see that our intention to create tension worked.

rezistor 2023-10-03 09:56

MUST SAVE ALL CATS!! I love the concept =D also music is so hectic so packing cats feels super tense =D

dannysimo 2023-10-03 17:05

The cuttets game i've seen, very intereting concept, liked it a lot.))))

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-03 20:45

Controls takes a while but so fun to play after that! I like the art style so much, cats are realy original! good work, congrats!

It's something beyond genius, on superhuman language. I really don't have any comments, too good.

Even added a number of your group))

Additional respect for endless mode.

bo-dangles 2023-10-05 02:15

very funny game. loved the humor. The art and sound effects were on point and really added to the comedy.

vary 2023-10-06 03:11

Fun and frantic! Love the audio especially

krassenstein 2023-10-06 17:24

Thanks for letting me play this! Excellent job!

Here's the VOD on YouTube to watch the gameplay, just skip to your chapter on the video! https://youtu.be/-eCnQ8GAhN8

kris3 2023-10-07 09:21

Wow that was really fun to play! I didn't expect at all the combination between an endless runner with what essentially is an inventory management system. The art and music was also good. Nice reference to your uni group. Wish I could see my score at the game end screen though.

sgtweirdo 2023-10-07 14:48

This was a really fun combination, enjoyed playing this game. I like your take on the theme and execution of the game, well done!

iron-head 2023-10-07 16:59

@kris3, thank you for your feedback. Your comment is very kind. I want to clarify that you can see your score at the end. In the _story_ mode you see your score after you've beaten the game. In the _endless_ mode you see your score at any point where you get caught by the wave.

clayton-bonura 2023-10-08 06:19

A nice and polished little experience. It was a bit rough at first as the jumps in particular are very tight, but once I got the hang of it was enjoying styling my way on over to save my kitties.

justking144 2023-10-08 19:41

Great mixture of two different gameplay styles. The cat stacking and the ending were hilarious

This actually reminds me of a game that a friend of mine made in college called wet....well I'm sure you can guess the rest lol

dan-str 2023-10-09 05:44

cool game, keep up the good work

nirlandec 2023-10-09 21:37

I've seen memes and cool references . Me like it me happy

the-enigma 2023-10-10 21:41

This was a fun game. Great game I'm a terrible player. Love the boxing cat. 10/10

boddiul 2023-10-12 07:26

It's really cool that you have a set of diverse mechanics. Funny and great narrative. Loved the variety of cats.

geckoo1337 2023-10-14 20:54

Funny little game with good graphics. The cats are cute - and the main gameplay is interesting. It fits with the theme. The bass line is amazing. Is there a way to get the audio track only? Well done. You made a solid entry ++

localphilosopher 2023-10-15 19:48

Funny graphics)

prismapunch 2023-10-15 21:45

Enjoyed the water animations a lot!

hydezeke 2023-10-18 04:28

Making it to a new room to see the new cat sprites was a big treat. At first I was losing my mind at how hard it was to fit the cats together, but now I see that I can figure them out over many replays. I got got by the jump-dive after the 4th (?) room too many times and gave up. Really really like this game 🙀🙀🙀

jacinto-mba 2023-10-18 09:29

So fun to play!

strangeryann 2023-10-20 10:41

Very interesting!

1st of all you got 2 games for the price of 1, that's pretty impressive

I love the cats - the soundtrack and sound effects, their looks and different shapes, that works extremely well, very charismatic and enticing

Now...

The jump mechanic is infuriating!!

I got as far as past the 1st cats box to be filled - there's like a slide then a jump directly after - couldn't get past it - it drives me crazy!

I believe it would be better for players to make it more forgiving - it's good there's the right feedback like visual + sound that you bounced on the table or whatnot but it's very easy to bounce once or twice and then you don't have the space to jump anymore and you're done foe and have to start from scratch

Maybe checkpoints could be a thing too - I don't know

Lots of potential there no matter - good job keep it up :grinning: :sparkles:
