I like the premise, and the art style is pretty appealing. I liked how the yarn ball looked. The controls were a bit wonky, it would have been nice to be able to back up as well. Also had a weird drag where it was usually pulling to the right. Increasing the deadzones for the mouse might help a bit but hard to say for sure. Also I wish the camera was tilted a bit farther up just so I could see more of the art and layout because I really loved the look of the house.
Love the idea of running away from the cats as a yarn ball as well. It reminded me a bit of "I Am Fish" in a good way.
