Hey, apologies if I'm missing something here, but I don't actually see a link to play the game? It just shows up as blank for me, I just see the single image of the game...

This is not the type of game I'm good at, by any stretch of the imagination, but this was pretty fun, nice work. Also the cat is a cutie-looking one :)

Definitely high on charm, and the core concept is intriguing. unfortunately I just couldn't figure out any kind of strategy that seemed to work. Which feels like an accurate simulation of a cat - but not necessarily the experience I hoped for :)

Defenitely a polished entry! Love the cat's art, the gampelay is a bit tricky though that the lure usually won't behave like you think for its weird linear drag but its fun to make the cat wandering around - nice job!

The collisions between objects are well designed and add interesting feedback. The integrity is also very good. Nice work!

Very cute game, but was a bit hard sometimes when accidentally got the cat looked away, but I managed to eventually summon the cat :) Love the art it was very cute :)

I love the cute picture at the end. It was a fun game, and it was a good challenge without feeling too difficult.

This game is adorable, and my own cat was summoned to sit on my lap while I was playing it! It took many many tries to get the cat to come to me, so maybe the realism dial was set a bit too high :P But it was very cute, the music was nice, and I had fun learning the different weights of the objects and how to appease the cat. Was a bit frustrating to get that 'last' object in time, since throwing a lemon away while the cat was really close seemed to scare her off.

Very cute game, nice entry!

So cute! Easy to pickup up and understand. I often shout "nooo cattt don't go away!" haha I also loved that you could push objects with other objects so you could under a mistake for example or adapt over time.

Very cute game, I had some trouble with the cat turning completely to face the edge of the screen which meant I couldn't get its attention from then on and had to restart, but I really love the concept, art and sound. Solid game jam entry overall!

A super sweet and fun little game. A bit difficult to make the cat walk the right way, but it's not too bad. Overall a well made and good jam game. Well done.

Very cute artwork!

The premise was straightforward, and I liked that. It was smart that different items had different weights, which added a bit of challenge.

Sometimes the cat's decision making wasn't very clear (isn't that just like a cat? XD), which made it hard to complete the challenge. I got the cat to here, but it wouldn't move forward anymore (and it wasn't clear why). If there was a reason, then think of ways to teach the player what they did wrong ("player feedback"). If it's a bug, oh well! :D

@hawkin we **could** say it is a bit of smart anti-design on our part, made to induce frustration into the heart of the player... but unfortunately it was just a dumb oversight that got left in :/ Thank you for playing though!
