Loved it. It quickly went from “I’m a god at this” to “I don’t know what I’m doing anymore”. I did do a sick trick with a Z block by tipping it to the side to fit a hole, so that felt great! I got a 301 score so you could say that I’m Moved Permanently.

Simple but pretty addicting! Love the art style (and especially the art of the cat crying and doing thumbs up on the defeat screen lol 🥲). I housed 207 cats! 🐈

Developer

He-he :D I really appreciate that you like my cat illustrations! I'm a big cat fan :P

Nice game! Great job!

Firstly, I really like the idea and mechanics. All the mechanics fit together seamlessly, combining to create a cohesive experience. The art is wonderful, making it easy to understand each part's function. Overall, it's a great game.

One area for improvement is the predictability of the gameplay. At times, it can be unpredictable where blocks will spawn, which makes it difficult to anticipate the force of collision.

Developer

Thank you a lot for highlighting this moment, I will think how to make block's spawn more predictable!

Nice art style. Relaxing and fun game. It was a bit confusing why the blocks gave you cats. Some blocks' art style didn't look like cats would live in them.

Thank you for playing! I'm strongly agree - cats can't live in ice or slime :D

Super nice and chill game~ Feels great when the blocks fit nicely together, and the cat is so cute at the end XDD The design of the hearts is so satisfying and perfect, my eyes are constantly drawn to it XD

I really enjoyed playing this game, and the graphics are very good. I liked the Tetris feel and it also reminded me a bit of Stacker.

Developer

Thanks!

Clicked for cute cat, got cute cat tetris. 

Wish I could see a high score, and I think the U shaped block is rotated wrong when you start to place it from the looks of it. Increasing score based on block placement difficulty is pretty clever and rewarding, but I think that the slime block looks more sticky to me, I get what you were going for though.

Glad that you found what you wanted ;D

This is a really fun and cute take on Tricky Towers!

Developer(+1)

You got me! I did use Tricky Towers as inspiration, but my main inspiration was actually a game from a Nokia slider phone back in 2010 😅
