I really like the way the music pitches up while the countdown is on :P

Nicely aggravating. Colors fit well. Herding cats without roller skates is hard - now **this**

I thought cats couldn't get harder to handle. Fits the theme perfectly, Nice work!

The difficulty curve was a tad steep, but I enjoyed the two and a half levels I could get through.
Good work! :)

Whose idea was it to give rollerblades to these cats!? Haha I love it, cool concept! I gave up on the stage with 9 cats. The music pitching up during the countdown made it really tense!

Nicely done. Was a bit difficult playing on a PC but the music and sfx gave a nice touch.
Good job

That is pretty much what I imagine herding cats are like!

I read a similar idea to this on reddit and wished I had thought of it! I had a lot of fun with it, great job! Great audio as well!

Tricky game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) [I fixed this video to have proper audio!]

I found the premise funny as hell! This is probably better on mobile if you can use multitouch.
🎤 Tezza48

@sintel Yup, i's got multitouch :) level 3 is really hard on mobile but level 4 is super easy.

3 seconds can be so long.
The cats look hilarious, the theme is hit perfekt.

Couldn't get past Level 3. Really good theme for it!

Cool approach and having a port for android is what suits this game better. So nice idea there!

@diegoctorguet I've been working with Mobile a lot recently so i've gotten the hang of working with touch input, just setting up the cloud build once i got the multitouch handler in (first time doing multitouch properly though) and it just built itself :P

A fun and very, very challenging take on the theme, nice job! One thing: the android version only works when rotated in landscape mode. It took me a while to understand what I was supposed to do at first because the cat is of the screen if you play the game in portrait mode.

@jeromwaarom Yeah, i think i stuck the wrong version on itch, i used the latest Unity Cloud build, which was one commit behind, i'll get round to uploading the right one eventiually. the andriod versin is also missing "Ludum Dare" in the splash screen.

This would be awesome in an ipad! Also can be a great game to play with friends with a single ipad

@velvetlobster Oooooh, that's a good point, I'll have to test it out on an ipad. Sadly the level creation is really tedious so i'll have to address that if i continue working.

This is exactly as difficult as I'd expect! Clever application of the theme :) It's quite a challenge on desktop with a mouse xD Well done!
