The concept of playing a cat and destroying thing is amazing. It looks great. I failed to get to some high places, but it was still fun.

Developer

Yeah, the jumps are a bit tricky with the AI ^^ Thanks for that! :)

Very nicely done! Excellent presentation with the UI. Controls and objectives are pretty easy to understand. The core game loop is pretty fun. Shatterable meshes are great and add some juice and sense of satisfaction. The shaders are a really great touch to clearly show objectives. Matches the theme of collaboration with AI. Sound could use some polish, but for a jam game the sound is definitely better than average. This seems like it actually could scale into a full game with some polish. Great job!

Developer

Good to read this! :D Thanks for that feedback! I will try to make it into a more round experience for a full release :)

This is an impressive entry! Only from the graphics alone is really WOWIE! Liked even the AI of…the AI! The concept is kinda simple and it’s really a weird collaboration with it. The only BIG problem I found is…controlling the cat. I had a hard time controlling it and destroy stuff properly because most of the time I was on the top of the object to destroy and they were hard to hit too. It’s a really impressive entry, but I hope in the full release you will improve the gameplay loop. Thank you for your partecipation and hard work!

Thanks for that feedback friend! :) I will work on it further after the jam !

Cool game!

Loved the art style and how cute the game looks! Control needs fine tuning, but nothing that gets in the way of the fun.

Developer

The fun part was the main focus for me :D Thanks, friend!

Really good production value. I love it.

There are some things though that I find aren't so good.

Imo the cats punch could be a bit bigger/further and further back reaching since its a bit annoying having to reposition all the time when Im too close to an object I want to throw on the ground.

Then there is the movement. Just running about and jumping seems fine to me but the slow turning of the cat is quite a hindrance if you want to reposition yourself to punch an object.

I figured out that I had to use the robot to get to the table in the second level. The robot jump is a great Idea but for me the robot started spinning everytime when I jumped on it and the cat of course the was spinning together with the robot and that made it quite disorientating trying to make the jump on the night table.

Otherwise, Looks, Sounds and Music and gameplay itself is great, but also hard.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :) Yes there are some things to work on ^^

Such a great game! The controls could be improved slightly, getting over some pieces of furniture was quite hard. The visuals are stunning, the concept is super strong, and it's fun!

Congratulations on your submission!

Developer

Thanks my cat friend! :D I am happy that you had fun with it! Yes the controls are quite hard itself ^^

Submitted

Tried to play your game, but it appears that it was missing some libraries that wouldn’t install under wine separately.

Developer

Thats unfortunate .. that shouln't hapen :(

Art and music fascinate me

Happy to be a cat this time

Developer

You are very welcome any time :D

It's delightful! I never knew how satisfying it would be to be a bad kitty.

Developer(+1)

They are such little cute rascals sometimes ^^

Submitted(+1)

This game is so clever and awesome, cool concetp and really cute cat!

Developer

Thanks mate! :D

Submitted(+1)

Good game! really good art and gameplay love the sound gj! 

Developer

Thanks my friend! :D

Submitted(+1)

Very hard to control the cat and hard to jump, especially on the roomba. Still, I enjoyed the gameplay and the feels of throwing every item out of the tables and other platforms xD

Developer

Yeah the little cleaner is sometimes a bit tto excited :D Cats can be such rascals and I am happy to transport that to the player!

Submitted(+1)

I was pretty much sold on the name alone! This was a really adorable game, I loved the relationship between the cat and the robot, the concept is nice and straight forward and easy to grasp but some of the levels were very challenging (that's a positive point for me, in case you're wondering!)

The hitboxes were a bit tricky in places and at times the cat felt a bit heavy to control but nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Developer

Thank you very much for that feedback! :D I am really happy that you had fun even when it is a bit hard ^^ Yes the controls and collisions need some work

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely loved it! Really well put together game. Reminded me of games like Keywe and other timed partty games. Only downside were sometimes the hit boxes on some objects were difficult like the table lamps.

Other than that great game :D

Developer

Yes the lamp is a difficult one ^^ I plan to work on it more after the jam :) Thanks for your feedback :D

Submitted(+1)

Great visuals and idea, but sometimes you push an object and it doesn't work. Well done!

Developer

Thanks! I really need to work on the precision ^^

I have this problem with some games, I just get “can’t open as archive” sorry, thumbnails look cute though!

Developer

That's sadly unusual. Can't open with winrar or 7zip?

Submitted

Yeah, I use 7zip :(

Developer

crazy .. winrar should work, maybe try that with the games you have the same problem with. Would be sad, there are so many good games in this jam that are zipped up :)

Amazing visuals! Such an original and fun interpretation of the theme! 

My only issue are the controls of the cat, it felt a bit "stiff", same for the push. This is an amazing job nonetheless :)

Developer

Thanks friend! I am happy about the love :D but yes the controls can be a bit smoother ^^

Submitted(+1)

This is the most visually impressive game I've seen, beautiful environments and animations, even in the menu. Main issue is the awkward controls. The cat takes forever to turn around, the robot wobbles while you're trying to jump off it, and hitting objects doesn't register most of the time, to the point one in level 3 couldn't be hit at all. Controls aside, this is an enjoyable and charming game with a fun concept and great presentation.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! :D Yes the collisions need some work as well as the movement. You remember which one was it that you couldn't  hit? I want to work further on the game and that did not happen to me so please tell me :)

Submitted

It was the guitar. Tried hitting it from different heights and angles but it wouldn't come off, so I settled for destroying every object besides that.
