Very cute game! The cat is adorable and the art is unique, game is slightly repetitive

drgcandle 2024-04-16 02:54

Ah, this game is insanely cute! How did you whip up such an adorable thing in no time? It's totally winning me over! I'd pay good money for your GIFs as reaction packs!

cirno 2024-04-16 05:27

The graphic is really cute and smooth just like the cat. The idea of the cat moving through the obstacle is great.

fyj 2024-04-16 06:32

So cute !I love this style!

ronn-fever 2024-04-16 06:33

Wow the menu and the custom title animation are so great. And I love the tutorial art. What a well polished game!

blueanoli 2024-04-16 07:16

I'm usually not a fan of downloading jam games but seeing the art style I just HAD to. And I am not disappointed. All 5 stars from me. And I WANT MERCH!!!!

fabighindaru 2024-04-16 13:21

Cuteness overload! Outstanding visuals and aesthetics! The main menu and tutorial remined me a lot of the jackbox games graphic design.

Very fun and very cute with some of the best visuals! Amazing job!

sstyles93 2024-04-16 13:29

locksmitharmy 2024-04-16 14:29

Thats exactly how my magical cat acts... you nailed it ;)

benjiehotwheels 2024-04-16 14:32

Very cute art!

pierre-cilluffo 2024-04-16 15:03

Love the art !

But the game lacks some audio feedback (appearance of obstacles for exemple)

bollatix23500 2024-04-16 15:43

What a great game, Im in love with the art, the first try was a little chaotic but after that its was so fun to play. Great great job!

bittripbrit 2024-04-16 16:00

Utterly adorable. I love the caw paw thwapping when you click, the best feature of any game I've ever seen. Really fun gameplay, love the PacMan rules with the sushi!

greenstone00 2024-04-16 16:01

Clicked for the cat, stayed for the game. But Yeah cool game and awesome artstyle, like really awesome!

actualtian 2024-04-16 16:06

How did you do this in 3 days, this is insane. The animations are so fluid and lifelike.

doonutsaur 2024-04-16 16:51

very cute game! I love it!

niighty-nine 2024-04-16 17:29

The art and main menu scene are so nice and cute. I love that you use the cat laser to be the cursor to bait the cat to select the button. I think you can improve a bit more of the theme, and the control is a bit delayed. Overall is pretty good. Great job, team :D

tuh 2024-04-16 17:47

funny

xivo 2024-04-16 18:30

purrfect.

nomus 2024-04-16 21:33

Really cute execution, I loved all the cat details, the menu with the paw, the laser and stuff, very nice

kirass 2024-04-16 22:34

Cool game, I liked it!

onqdll 2024-04-17 01:19

It was fun! Laser sold it for me. Adds a lot of personality to the character and a feeling that I'm controlling a cat with it's own desires.

tess-winlock 2024-04-17 05:20

The personality of this game is on point, love the laser pointer.

timidger 2024-04-17 05:38

Wow the main menu is so cute and interactive! Love the paw touching where your mouse clicks.

Even though I read the instructions twice I was a little confused when I ate the Salmon. Since it's also food I thought that I got health but I did notice the eyes were different. I see in the instructions that the cat's eyes are the same color, but when I saw that image what stood out to me was that his cat maw was wide open. Love that style, I can get behind a wizard cat devouring his other pets. But I was trained to expect to see that imagery when I was able to kill the enemies -- I never saw the cat's mouth open so it took me a while for it to click.

Love the slight delay where the countdown hits 0 but the wizard still has to summon. This gives the player a little bit of breathing room and leads to them feeling they "just got there" in the nick of time.

Another nit that may be just me -- the noise the cat makes when you hit the wizard sounds like he's taking damage. Combine this with the wizard progress bar on the right shaking and going down and my brain jumps to "oh that was my health". Something sort of calming like a purr (which is probably a LOT harder to get right in the sound) maybe would have not made me associated it like that?

Really nailed the cat aesthetic, from the enemies (love the laser pointer) to the menu option uwu style words.

The gameplay works as a cute little jam game and I think you had just the right amount of mechanics (the only nit for mechanics was confusion on when I could kill). Thinking about it as a fully fledged game there's a tension between making it more of a puzzler with defined levels vs this sort of arcady style. Not sure where the best direction is. Dunno if you plan to take this further, but it's a great game!

nenseki 2024-04-17 06:36

Really enjoyed the graphics and the premise, the random nature lends to replay-ability but I would have honestly preferred more linear levels to complete with each getting harder, as it is I have nothing to strive for past the few initial winnings... overall I really enjoyed this game though, I did get stuck once but it was my own fault and restarting is easy so.

tapehead 2024-04-17 11:10

Overall great and well polished for such short time. Great work!

anifan-gelati 2024-04-17 11:55

Cat? Cat. Cat??? Cat. CAT? Cat. CAT!!?!?!?!??!?!??!........ Cat.

linus-lindberg 2024-04-17 13:17

Very cute! Graphics are obviously stunning. I love how cat-centric all aspects of the game are. Very nice jam game!

borabee 2024-04-17 14:44

Absolutely the cutest :3

spliddo 2024-04-17 16:17

For how restrictive a 2D game can be, the animations are so smooth, congrats on figuring out this part! Incredible gameplay

kilian-baptendier 2024-04-17 16:22

Stunning graphics & menu details and hats off to the only dev, no bugs for me! The 2 different art styles kind of bother me, and I would have prefered a unique one, but that's just a personal opinion. The gameplay, the UI and the retro music reminded me of Pac-man, but in a different cuter way. The goal is simple, yet I had to establish strategies to annoy my hooman. Oh and the tutorial is on point! A really really nice entry, good job to all ;D

annie-owl 2024-04-17 19:46

This game is so adorable, I love it! :heart_eyes: The music, the graphics, the story and even the UI! Great job!

ruslana 2024-04-17 21:11

Very cute art!

nomersol 2024-04-17 22:25

Love the detail with the menu and sound effects

mavvy 2024-04-18 03:06

I'm a simple person, I see a game with cats, I gotta take a bite.

**This did not disappoint.** Super charming, love the concept, top-notch presentation and clean execution. It's cute, clever and wonderful and I absolutely love it!

martenj 2024-04-18 09:32

At one time I was stucked with the cute kitty, because I was out of milk and I was trapped in a 2x2 square where I needed milk to escape. But yeah maybe my own fault, If I dont think about it :D Awsome Sound Design and Art Style!! Lovely Cat!

megzneko 2024-04-18 09:51

Honestly its so cute!!! I love it. The cat just instills such joy in me I cant even explain. The art is my favourite part! its execution is clean and clever. I do wish the wizard was a second or two slower through T-T

funnypumpkin 2024-04-18 09:59

Its so cute! :heart: Sometimes wizards lock himself with bats tho (but I dont judge)

ava-skoog 2024-04-18 13:15

Super cute and super polished! Did feel a bit easy. Maybe HP should've been a little less abundant. The way the buttons change after beating the game was fun. Nice to see so much work put into the menus, instructions, credits, all of that. Nice sounds and graphics in game too. Honestly difficult to add a lot when there isn't really much to criticise, very cool game :)

joshanthony1990 2024-04-18 14:18

Cute game! Gameplay was fun, enjoyed learning the game and strategizing around the powerups.

firellon 2024-04-18 18:00

Lovely :)

pelmanable 2024-04-19 11:01

Awesome art design. This game looks awesome. Really cute main menu, where cat's paw put on the point your mouse clicked.

And gameplay is also very good. It's simple, but it's challenging enough in it's simplicity. Really like this one.

maxgun 2024-04-19 12:24

Very fun and cute, loved playing your game. Congrats for your entry!

norah 2024-04-20 13:55

Your game is really cute and has great visuals ! I got blocked once by the environment and I had to restart the game but nothing serious :cat:

detectivelosos 2024-04-20 16:28

The game is just purrfect! Loved pretty much all aspects of it: the premise, the art, the adorable animations, fitting audio and nicely balanced and well paced game loop. The only tiny gripe I have is that something felt a bit weird and unwieldy about the movement/collisions in the beginning, but then I got used to it quite quickly. I'm sure you won the hearts of all the catlovers with this one. Btw, what game engine did you use for it?

tetracold 2024-04-21 00:19

Omg!! this game is so adorable, I love the artstyle!!! both the art itself and the sprites are fantastic for this one! congrats to the artists who worked on this, they did an amazing job

The gameplay was also really enjoyable, it was the right amount of difficult and I found the game to be intuitive, I understood what to do even without looking over the tutorial. Short but sweet!

Greta entry! Good job on this one

skullpaca 2024-04-22 03:26

@detectivelosos The game was made in GameMaker. Thanks for the feedback!

burchyn 2024-04-26 12:20

I might have had a streamer brain or very bad rng combos when we played it live but I tried the game offline as I promised. I did it in 3 attempts woot woot. Love the game. It's Purrrrrfect! ^^
