Glad you enjoyed it! Was the issue that the arrow could get hidden behind another cat, or was it hard to tell which cat it was pointing to? I plan on upping the render priority for the arrow post-jam. If the arrow getting hidden isn't the issue I can try to come up with another way to visualize which is active. I know Snakebird had the other birds sleeping when inactive so maybe I can do something like that if needed 🤔

A bit of both. Sometimes it is behind, which is definitely an issue. But even if it's in front, it can be a bit hard to see for a couple of reasons.
The arrow has a white outline, and a some cats have a lot of white on them, so it blends a bit.
The arrow points to the head, and when you have a bunch of long cats entangled it gets a bit confusing which parts actually belong to the active cat.
The clearest for me I think would be to change outline of the entire cat, or something like that.
