Cute little idea! Nice vibes, everything was amazingly adorable! Love the design on the cats, and even the space cat that would block my view. Music was pretty chill, only thing is that game was kinda too easy and a little too short, but that's understandable for being made in 48 hours. Great work!
Funny idea. Damn little cat messing with your controls. The mood of the game felt really good, would be nice to be warned before the malus, so the player can adapt. Anyways, lovely entry
Very cute looking game! Excellent music! Good work
Oh that crazy cosmic kitty is up to his old shenanigans! Very nice visuals and audio. It reminded me of a cute mix of WarioWare and Guitar Hero.
Ohhh now that's a nice combo to be compared to! Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
How cute! Really liked that the paw snaps back to the center. It took me a while to get the hang of it and by that time it was impossible to win because the tracks were moving so fast (not sure it was intentional). Second time was a success and I really enjoyed it. Great job!
I would appreciate it if you'll have time to check out my game.
Thanks for playing! The cat randomly hits buttons that will speed up or slow down the game. Good job getting a win the second time!
I also went and played/rated your game. Nice work :)
Ah! such a cute game! I love how the stars kinda produce the melody to the song. With the cat snapping to the right or left track, it felt a little jarring, but the gameplay was quite fun!
Thank you!
The music and graphics are really cool and the interpretation of the theme was fun but it could with some additons to make it a bit more replayable and give better feedback to the player when you successfully catch a star (feedback on the skulls was just right though)
Thanks for playing!
I agree, it'd be good to make it more obvious when you catch a star. The sounds for them are (by design) pretty soft and blend into the music, but adding some sort of VFX would be nice. Sadly I just didn't have enough time for/familiarity with those systems in the engine to get it into the jam 😅
Fun game, easy to pick and play! The cat is so cute and funny! Good job!
Thank you! Alix (my partner on this jam) did an amazing job with the art. She made it come to life!
We also really tried to make sure it was super easy to intuit how to play, so I'm glad you found that to be the case! 🙂
this game was pretty relaxing - love how the skulls n stars would randomly get inversed and the big cat appearin :D
great job~
Yay, I'm glad you liked the inverting! It's certainly pretty "unfair" but we thought it was fun/funny 😛
Thank you for playing and for such nice words!
Nice game! the design is very pleasing in the eyes. the song is good it's very calming. :D
Thank you!✨🎶
Nice song! Love the space cat.
Thanks! I love the cat too. I laughed out loud when Alix (my jam partner/the artist) showed me the design 😸
I bliked the cat and the art style and the game maybe. Quite easy tho
Thanks for playing!
i love this! really cute ~
Thanks! ✨🐈 ✨
Nice game! I really like the art style, and the cute but evil cat, maybe a high score would be nice.
Good work!
Thank you! We wanted to add some sort of score or combo multiplier or something to give motivation to keep playing/improving. Just ran out of time, unfortunately!
Nice, simple and fun.
And oh so good looking and sounding.
One thing I would suggest is to somehow give a warning that the mischievous cat will trigger something a bit before it actually happens. It's not too bad with speeding up, slowing down and stopping, but the swapping of stars and skulls sometimes felt a bit cheap.
But anyways, loved playing your game. Good job!
Wow really cute, simple, and fun! The art is incredible and the music is lovely! I could see this as a highscore based game (especially as phone app but any set up would do!) Also it's really polished.
Thank you!!
Really captures how anoying a cat can be, well done!
The game is very cute, it is very fun, it is very simple, it is great to pass the time and the music is also very nice to hear! My only suggestion: avoid compressing the files outside any folder, always compress a folder, get more organized if the person presses the famous Extract Here! Overall, a great experience!
Oh that’s a great suggestion which I totally overlooked. I’ll try to remember to do that once the voting is over. I assume you’re talking about the Windows version, yeah?
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly! But happens! Once again, excellent work!
Very nice submission! My main recommendation would be that it's really hard to tell if you are winning or losing at any given point, so a star/skull counter would be nice. Also when you win it only asks if you want to restart, but then it takes you to the menu. Good job overall though, the art and music are great!
Visuals are very cute =)
