One of the first games this jam that truly put a smile on my face when i understood the mechanics and finished the first level. I love that you thought of the mouse as... A MOUSE! genius!
Everything just feels like it has a purpose here- clear art, nice fitting music, the design of the maps with how you first teach the player and then just have fun little puzzles following up with what we just learned.
I find it hard to add something that could improve this little gem but maybe some interesting ideas going forward (which i sincerely hope you do with this!):
- mechanics: you currently have a blank canvas with what you can do here now that the main "game" is ready. something in the form of like traps that you need to avoid whilst the cat chases you or it gets stuck, or TWO cats (wow! amazing tip!). Well you get the point- you probably already have cool ideas in mind.
- a custom "mouse". The only thing really sticking out to me when i look at this game art-wise is the cursor. Everything else follows the same cute and simplistic theme- the cursor is just our default boring computer mouse. maybe give it a tail. I dont know- maybe it can be animated to match the cat?
Anyways- congratulations on a game well made, very impressive!
This was a super fun one. Love how the mouse is the cursor and the cat chases it. I also appreciate how the mouse can move anywhere it wants but as long as it's holding the cheese it has to "obey" the environment. Super creative and well executed!
This one is a strong contender!
It was a really clever idea to allow the cursor to separate from the thing it's dragging, in terms of the loss condition. As soon as I figured that out, I was off to the races.
Only one suggestion I have, and it's a minor one: make the cursor into a laser pointer.
Congratulations on this submission. You've done well.
Well done. Clever thought with using the mouse cursor. At first I did not realize I could drop the cheese and trick the cat... and thought the game was very challenging after figuring that out it was pretty easy. Hope to come back for the 2 minute challenge.
This was really fun and unique! It took me a couple levels to get used to my cursor being an actual thing. I love the cat as an unwitting sokoban participant, and the mouse as the… mouse. Brilliant.
I love this!! The concept is really smart and the levels are well thought out to use the mechanics. It gets so tricky trying to juggle the cat and the cheese and avoid getting caught!
The time I discovered my cursor was the mouse I laught hard
Cute game and a cool idea. It has interesting levels and it was very fun.
