Cool game, bit buggy though.

Submitted(+1)

I like the art a lot, though I do feel like it's missing some background music. It's also a pretty good concept, a Lemmings-style game where you have to guide a cat around, but ironically enough the game itself is like herding cats around - impossible and frustrating.

I couldn't get past the second level because of two main issues - First of all the up arrow is buggy and inconsistent. Both unintended strategy of launching up the cat and the presumably intended strategy of making staircases fail because the up arrow doesn't work half the time.

Secondly the UI doesn't really work all that well. It's impossible to deselect a block after you've already selected it, so you just end up wasting them by placing them in a random location. It's also impossible to move the camera while holding a block, so you waste them by trying to move up as well. You also can't undo or erase blocks, which is a necessity in these kinds of games.

I know you want the player to "rage and be frustrated" but this isn't the kind of rage and frustration that makes you want to see more of the game. This is the kind of rage and frustration that makes you want to not play the game anymore.

It's still quite a solid game, but it needs more polish to be playable.

…Good game idea, horrendous implementation

Hey, that's a really cool concept!

Despite the minor flaws like not being able to deselect a building block or the up arrow being a bit glitchy, this is a pretty neat puzzling game.

I don't see the theme being implemented, but that was optional of course!

Wasn't able to complete it but what I did play was fun and challenging. The up arrow seemed weird though because the amount of height the cat gained was inconsistent which made me have to be really precise when placing blocks.

Developer

I tried to make the user have a difficult time  im so happy to hear that that you  love it!

Submitted

Loved how the limitation of minimal colors was implemented, and the blocks felt nice to place down.

Developer

Im so happy to hear that!

the only thing missing in this perfect game is Background Music, otherwise great job!

Developer

Thank you i tried to put background music but never seem to make a good one that fits!

Submitted

Idea is very cool, but it misses music and it makes it feel very empty and you should be able to remove placed blocks, stop your placing (by clicking left click while in the place state or something like that) and the levels started way too hard (or im too bad), because I got stuck at the second level (mainly because I didn't want to place all the pieces again when I died and if there was one mistake I also needed to start all over again.)

Developer

I tried to make the user rage as much as possible that tis gonna be challeging!

Submitted

But you should still make the removing blocks and stuff, because that just saves time.

Submitted

Developer

Thank you so much  i love cats so much!
