How does your game fit the theme?
I came up with this game as soon as I saw my cat (Arthur), who, after spotting a bug, enters a state of madness trying to catch them. Here, adapting my cat to the theme, I replaced bugs with pigeons, and the storm comes after catching a few. The main idea of the game is to prevent Arthur from eating them by scaring them away with your paw, because if he eats 3, he explodes, haha.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes, im write all the code but Im not made all the assets

Hey, we used the same assets!
I loved the concept of the game, very creative. Some points that could improve it:
Make it so the cat go back to the center of the room after catching a bird. In one play he ran until the end of the screen, so a bird spawned and i lost without even seeing it.
Add Y-Sorting to the tile map, to make so the cat doesn't lay in front of the walls.
Very cool game!
That was a fun game, like it
Nice game, love the art style, the vibe and the idea. if i can suggest something, when the cat reach the border of the game are the pigeons can spawn right next to him, making it impossible to stop them.
Very cute and simple game, I enjoyed it a fair bit, you really chose the assets well, the sprites, animations and music work really well together! I could definitely see this concept being expanded on with player upgrades and a score counter :D
As a cat owner this game gets a paws up from me!
Fun idea! Well done making the CatAI, I liked it! :)
Great idea protecting the birds from the cat, I really liked the mechanic! The art is super cute, especially the cat design. The only thing I found tricky was when the cat moves too fast and goes off-screen, making it hard to save all the birds. Overall, though, it's a fun and simple concept!
Looks like we had the same idea for the names of our games lol. That aside, you got a pretty neat game. I really like how he goes ape and starts flailing all over the place.
yeee i seeit and i think omg it cant be possible, nice game too
nice game !
First play. Must protect birds from cat using the invisible force field of my fist!
Second play. Here, kitty. Here are some birdies to maul to death.
The art is sooo cute :3
I love that this game is inspired by your cat, Arthur. Please give him a good chin scratch for me.
Tyyy, for sure arthur gonna appreciate the scratch :3
Really cute game! Adorable art! Good to pass the time. But sometimes Arthur goes beyond the screen and eat the pigeons and i can't save them ;-;
ahahahah yeee, i only have 2 days for implement so the "IA" of arthur is a little bit simple, ty for comment
Simple and concise gameplay. Had to be an orange cat 🤣
