Feels good;



Developer

nice!

Submitted

Good work on the art. Simple concept but good execution :)

Submitted

Really loved the art style, awesome job =]

Submitted

Maybe it is more suited to touch screens than mouse, but a creative idea!

Developer

You're probably right, but works well enough for me with a mouse. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Haha, I loved it!
From the cat sprite to the catchy tunes in the background and the calm cool night feel.
Wonderful!

Developer

Glad you like it, thanks for playing!

Submitted

I launched that cat so hard! I want more fishies!

Thanks for this game!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

Great polish for this game :)

This pixel art is super cute and the music is catchy !

The upgrades are a good idea but you can max them all pretty fast :( I would love more upgrades / hidden stuff / trophies.

Developer

Glad you like it! thanks for the feedback, I agree that there should probably be some more updates. Some achievement system sounds cool also, I'll think about it.

Submitted

This is such a simple and fun game! The upgrades were a nice addition too. The graphics were cute and the whole thing had such a great polish to it! I loved the cats rationale - completely flawless! Sadly I didn't make it to the moon :(

As others have said this would make a great mobile game and you should definitely put it up on the play store or something. Well done, this is really great!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it! I'll probably look into making an app for this. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Loved every little bit of this entry. No complaints. 10/10

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

Amazing entry, had so much fun with it! The atmosphere, gameplay, and graphics really tied it together. Had a hard time getting to the moon, even with full upgrades, owing to the randomness. Would make a great mobile game!

Excellent work for a month.

Submitted

This is such a great little game! Spent quite a while with it; great atmosphere, music and graphics. Nice progression, and flawless cat logic. Great job!

Submitted

Best game I played so far!

The pixel art was well cared, the game was well polished, the gameplay easy to pickup and engaging, the music funny and the sound effects cool :-)

The only thing that could be improved is to add a custom mouse pointer since it can get a bit difficult to find the mouse when there are so many fishes and particles.

Submitted

Fantastic! short, very intuitive, and a simple delight.  

Submitted

I had a blast! there are so many things that I like about your game, such as:

  • The beautiful pixel art.
  • The handy power-ups and the progression satisfying feeling.
  • The fact that this game works for skilled and less skilled players. Both types can beat the game, but even with all unlocked, there is still a challenge. And skilled players can always try to reach the Moon in less launches.
  • The simple theme interpretation fits perfectly.
  • The sound effects and the player feedback is very precise and Gameboy like awesomeness.

Just a couple of minor comments, I noticed that if you click on the shop button before launching the cat for the first time, the “Drag cat into catapult…” text overlap the shop items. The other thing is that it would be great to have a custom cursor pointer if you play on Desktop, I had a bit of trouble to find where my pointer was sometimes.

An amazing game! Super polished and so much fun! Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the comment, really appreciate it. I knew about the shop comment overlap but forgot to fix it, whoops. I like the idea of a custom cursor, should make it easier to see. Glad you like, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Love this <3
Not the most original idea, but everything comes together really well. The only thing I'd add is a small ending sequence or card, but it's perfectly fine as it is. I had a lot of fun :)

Developer(+1)

I like the idea of some end card, but I also think the current ending screen is fine. Glad you like the game!

Submitted

Fun game. Well done.

It's a pity it doesn't save the progress, didn't make it to the moon yet and hade no time left today. But I'll try again later this week anyways :D

Pixel art and sound is on top!

Developer

Thanks for playing! When I made the game I thought It'd be like 10 minutes max, so a save feature wouldn't be necessary. Obviously not the case so it probably would have been useful to be able to save. thanks for the feedback, glad you like it!

Submitted

Great game! So simple and yet so engaging and fun! I like that even with all the upgrades at hand, it's still challenging to get the goal. Loved the palette and graphics, also the theme interpretation. Awesome work of art here!

Developer

Thanks! I've had some comments saying that it's a bit too hard even with the upgrades, but glad that it felt right to you. thanks for the comment!

Submitted

Love the pixel art and music. Good Job!

Developer

thanks, appreciate it!

Submitted

Awesome game! The sound effects, music changes, and particles really make this feel polished and fun. The progression felt great while I was getting all the upgrades. Afterwards, I did feel like I needed to get lucky in order to reach the moon. Too often, there was no milk on screen to aim for so nothing could be done to win. But I do understand and expect some amount of randomness in these types of games. Perhaps ideally there would be more upgrades and a stronger fully upgraded state so that your efficiency over many shots is what matters, not getting lucky by the end. But that's really nitpicking, I has a ton of fun with this one already, great job!

Developer

Glad you had fun with it! I agree with you about the randomness, after review period ends I'm gonna make some changes to the upgrades. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

I only can say WOW! fantastic genial! awesome! very very good job! it's sooooo addictive!

Developer

thanks! glad you like it :)
