Cute idea, though in reality the cats would probably want to jump into the box rather than out. The levels seemed to end before all the cats were in the box in later levels, and the music just cut out after a while, but a fun game despite those minor hiccups.

Simple game, but original and fun.  A really nice use of the theme too :)

A little simple and the cats can be hard to grab, but the art is cute!

Neat take! I found myself wanting to fling them into the box but that never worked. Good stuff!

The music cut off for me after several levels.

Haha this is a fantastic entry! Quite an original and adorable take, and really proves why the expression "it's like herding cats" exists XD

This fits the theme well. I do think it was a little simple, but well executed. Art was great!

Funny minigame! Well-made for sure.

The audio cut out after a few rounds, but otherwise all seemed well.

I took me a while to understand that I had to click and drag the cats, excuse my pooped out brain for not reading :P

The art style was very cute, the music fit well with the panicky feeling to it.

Pretty simple concept and a pretty great execution! Did not have the dexterity to get too far into the game, but I enjoyed the gameplay! The art is also pretty neat, and the music fits the frantic but playful mood. Nice work! :D

Super good! One of my favourites so far.

Until you make an observation, the cat is simultaneously in and out of the box :P

Cutest pixel art I've seen so far in the Jam.

Great Job!

A simple premise, but it works well within the theme! Cats really just do what they please and there's not much control to have over them, this phenomenon is accurately displayed in this extremely adorable game. I made it to level 10.
