I noticed quite a few bugs (or intentional features not sure) : the "complete" text getting stuck to gertrudes, cats entering into other cats and the movement being blocked for a little while.
The music and the sound effect are pretty discrete and scare but there nice.
I like Gertrudes' face, unfortunatly we can't see it while playing :P.
You put music and sound effects which is cool. I'm getting the feel you wan't the game to be fast paced and crazy so maybe next time to get that effect try putting a faster music in the background so it matches the intended mood more. Also feeback is important in a game, a sound effect when a task is completed could have be nice too.
The movement feels a bit weird, especially since you start slow and then go faster and faster when the map is quite small.
Overall it was a fun little game, cheers !
@ashtrail Your analysis is awesome, thank you for the bug catching, unfortunatelly I didn't had enough time in the end to fix the bugs because of the deadline; but you got the spirit of the game, and that's what matters :D Thank you very much for playing and rating :)
FYI. This was almost my future, almost moved in to a house that would have made 4 cats in the house!
@kunonooni Yes, that was also my first 3D game from the scratch, it's not that easy compared to Unity 2D Physics, I struggled a lot hahahaha thanks for your comment!
@raphael-huot Awesome, hope you liked :D Thanks!
@masterkrepta The music was the last thing I did, it was kinda rushy because I had not enough time to finish it, but I tried my best. Hope you didn't get crazy with your cats :p
Gertrudes <3

Sometimes I take care of a cat but it doesn't go away. And is it impossible to perform the same action more than once at a rowwhen there are multiple cats on the same spot?
The cat models were also alright and I appreciate the old cat lady take on the theme. Keep improving your work. ^-^
@nathalia-hohl Thanks Nathalia! It took a lot of work to make her model, if you want, you can download the source code, there's an .FBX of the Gertrudes model :D Thanks for playing!!!
