A really cute game. I love the music, concept is interesting
Nice job !
Thanks we appreciate it a lot we tried our best, what did you think of how the game played in general?
The energy loss / recovery ratio could use some more balancing, and the game can be a bit confusing at first, but it was a fun experience and I enjoyed the audio, nice work!
Yeah the energy loss is quite annoying since it goes down too quickly but we're glad you enjoyed it 👍
Damm. When I heard the theme for the jam I instantly looked at my cat. They are the most out of control creatures, it's really cool to see that I wasn't the only one that thought that, and seeing how we both got so different ideas is just amazing! Great job! 20/20
Omg thanks it wasn't my idea but the others did a great job making it what it became 👍 thanks for the feedback 👍👍
Heya I was the one who came up with the concept and mechanics. The game was actually inspired by my 5 cats lol. Most of them don't intentionally push things off surfaces but one of them really likes to hop onto my table to get onto my cupboard and just push all of my small pokemon figurines off the cupboard. One of them really loves to attack my socks and all of them have destroyed the sides of about 5 chairs by scratching it to hell.
My house is a mess.
Send help.
Man, I've got only one, a 17 year old one, that has gone grumpy throughout the years. Still love him more than my own life. Thanks god, he's too lazy to do any of the things you mentioned!
Good job! The art style is super cute and the game plays really nicely. The main issue I had was the bottlenecks in the doors and getting hung up on geometry, but I found myself working out little efficiencies which is the hallmark of a successful game like this.
getting through the doors is super annoying sorry for that but hey at least you enjoyed it thanks for playing it and thanks for the feedback 👍👍
the idea is good but i think washing the cloth is the most important thing to do and i like how to bed restore energy more than the chair
It turns out the Chair doesn't restore much more energy than just sitting and waiting which isn't how it was supposed to be...
Glad you liked it though 👍
I didn't click to get out of bed, so I just ended up rolling around the house haha Fun concept, though, especially for those of us who like chaos in our games (I made sure my game was based around that!).
I see you have experienced the bed bug where you can move while in bed yeah that was difficult to fix we thought we'd fixed it multiple times but no we didn't so yeah it is pretty funny though glad you liked it 👍
That's a pretty neat idea of managing you movement while controlling chaos. I got to about 250 and realized I could have kept going indefinitely. There were a ton of cats, but they all crowded around the doors instead of knocking things over, so it didn't get any harder. It might have been better with some objectives or achievements so I had some score to aim for, and the cat AI could be improved so they don'tget stuck doing nothing, but overall great job!
Honestly there wasn't an actual AI implemented it was just a bunch of set places the cat's would move too since pathfinding would take too long for a 2 day jam
We're glad you enjoyed it though 👍 thanks for the feedbackWell done, too many cats tho, turning me into a crazy cat lady!!
Yeah it can get very hectic with a lot of cats if you survive long enough I haven't survived too long yet though lol
Hope you enjoyed it though... We tried our best 👍
The thing that bugged me a bit was this weird acceleration and inertia combo that makes moving around quite clanky. But other than that - nice concept, but it could use more interaction. After initially putting clean clothes out, there wasn't much else to do ;)
Yeah I understand what you mean about the movement I don't like it too much either but it works so and there was a lot more planned but there wasn't enough time to implent anything else... Thanks for the feedback though
Cute game! I love fast paced actions. The art style is also nice.
We're glad you liked it.
Thanks for the feedback
Cat chaos! I loved the theme <3 Wish the escalation of was a bit quicker, but super cool non-the-less!
The others tried their best to make it good I only joined 5 hours before the deadline to help polish everything and make the Tutorial Stuff
Thanks for the feedback
1 - I love cats
2 - Good game! I liked the core. I'm just missing something to remember me to sleep hahaha
Glad you liked it
Thanks for the feedback
Cats ^^
Reminds me a bit of Escapist
Are you referring to the Escapists game? Or is it something else
Escapist the game, parts like daily duties, energy and such.
Oh yeah I got it 👍
Quite fun, and funny too! There wasn't much to do after finishing the laundry though.
From what I understand it repeats in a cycle the cats make clothes from the Wardrobe dirty and you repeat that, it was made in 48 hours so there wasn't much put into it a lot of ideas weren't used since there wasn't enough time to implement anything else
Nice and quite rich in interaction!
The controls are a bit buggy, but it is a very solid life-sim game, not a small task for 2 days!
good work!
Thanks we appreciate the feedback 👍👍
