Prison Cat by figrita

[raw]
made by figrita for LD 41 (JAM)

You're in prison, bummer! You need to earn some dough to get your way out. Also, you got yourself a cat to keep you company, make sure he's well kept.

Our first ever game jam, more about that here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/prison-cat/our-first-jam-our-first-game-we-proudly-present-prison-cat

Our incompatible genres are pet simulator and tabletop/card game. Plays in the browser! Programed in javascript with Phaser, highly recommended.

Known bugs: If you lose and restart, the shop will not allow you to buy items previously used. This will be fixed in a more polished fork.(ty @Ente)

There are those days when you catch yourself playing cards against a cat for way longer than you should. They make you question a lot of things, but most of all, why I can't guess the freakin cards right.

I played your game for a good 15 minutes or longer. You must have done something right. Nice job! I like the cat art and I like how the eyes follow the cursor around - little details like that go a long way in jam games!

I played that a lot longer than I meant too :D Took a few rounds to understand what I was betting on. Loved the banter from the cat!

Wow I really enjoyed the game. The arts are catchy too. I was lost at first, but now that I understand how it works, the cat dialog actually makes sense. I wish the game handled the RNG better by always making the card draw at least 2 numbers apart, as drawing 3,3 or 3,4 doesn't really do anything. Overall great game!

The actual game is really boring, there is no way around it. The artful thing you managed to pull of is still make it a fun experience with the art and the text. My favorite part is when you lose...

Same here about this playing longer than I ought to... It was fun! But when you play multiple rounds you can't buy these things anew.

This was really fun! Like other people have said, it took me a little bit to figure out what I was betting on. Once I did, it made tons of sense! The cat was great, I loved the little bits of dialogue that he had.

I spent longer playing that than I expected to! Unfriendly cat. :(

The visuals hearken back to the glory days of Shufflepuck Café on the Apple II!

A little sound would've been nice, but it was fun turning some cards with your cat :)

Some music/audio would've really made this quite a bit more playable for me, but still more fun than I should admit for a simple betting game! Well done for your first game!

Nice work! Love the aesthetic and humour. Some music would make it better, but other than that I had fun!

That was hilarious! Some music would have made it even better, nevertheless great work and the cats face when you lose is terrifying lolol :smile:
