The sprites and animations are adorable! Pico8 was a great choice for this jam. Would benefit from some music, but otherwise a concise and well delivered little game. Nightmare mode is aptly named!

Well done, and good luck! :D

Developer

Thank you! Yeah pico 8 has been pretty useful, making games in it is quite fast and just fun haha.  I was definitely considering some music and will definitely revisit that idea, I'm slowly using more and more things in each game I make :).

Very cool animation in the game! And very good graphics! Pleasant sounds! I really liked the concept of the game! This is a very amazing idea! You've made a great game in such a short amount of time! Thanks for the game!

Developer(+1)

You're so kind!  Thank you :).  Glad you enjoyed, I actually am working on a small update for after the gamejam is completed so keep an eye on that :).

I really like the animations of the cats in this game! The sound effects are also very good. All I want to know now is if it is possible to finish nightmare mode???

Developer

Thank you!

Its hard to say, I believe it is... I just haven't managed yet and don't know anyone that has haha, I might need to rebalance difficulty at some point :).

Really cute game! had a minesweeper quality, it feels like I could open this up on a small window and play a round then put it down. Maybe its the difficulty setting and timer that sells that minesweeper feel? either way great work (there is no way I am going to be able to do knightmare, hard was hard enough for me haha). Great work

Developer

Yeah I can kinda see that, I think minesweeper had the little timer and counter in the top corners too.  I originally only had the timer but then realised the levels can get pretty difficult so needed a way to back out :P.

Hard mode is pretty difficult yet, and I haven't finished nightmare mode but I got close a couple of times so I think its possible! It works on mobile so that might be easier? :P (only slightly though surprisingly)

Looks like I wasn't the only one who thought of herding cats :D

Nice little game with awesome sprites. Good job!

Developer

haha thanks :).  And yeah when I saw the submissions I was like 'oh... ok' haha, but I'm sure all the variants are fun and have their own individuality so its ok :).  (I haven't got around to playing and voting just yet but I will do that soon)

this is adorable! the animations are great, the controls simple, and the difficulty options appreciated :3

Thank you :) The difficulty levels were a bit of a guess really, its hard to tell, they might change depending on feedback haha.
