This game is really polished! I love the art style and the music is absolutely beautiful! Gameplay is a bit confusing at first but when you get hang of it it's really fun and engaging. Great job!

It looks and sounds really good. A little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it, it becomes really fun.

Thank you for your feedback guys and I hope you are having a good time here

Yes, unfortunately the game can contain a bit of bugs, but we tried to make the game in 72 hours without cheating, and the game contains a lot of interactions, so some bugs are unfortunately available :)

The non-steering interactions are quite simple; I felt like there wasn't too much to it but alongside the steering and the feels it was pretty breathtaking for me
Really nice concept, soothing music and clean visuals. All that together and you have quite a beautiful game :heart:

The doge is strong with this one. Seriously though, the art in this game is fire.. A++.. 10/5

Art style is fantastic. Just a heads up that in my browser(chrome) F1 brought me to a new chrome help tab, taking me out of the game. The piano is wonderful, those little accidentals every so often were really, really special and did a lot for the ambiance.

The music fits really well, overall a great mood. I was having terrible anxiety over losing any of the cats, which is good!
I found that sometimes it was impossible to drag cats onto the boat, probably just a hitbox issue or something. Also sometimes my cats would go flying off the raft for whatever reason.
Other than those small bugs, it was a really great experience.

good one, but i'd only want to decrease your score for difficulty tune coz too fckn hard to save all cats)

@skitaless Why would you do that? The game is really simple, you need to try hard not to finish it

Loved the art style, gameplay was a bit confusing and i couldnt save any cats when they were on the edge

Nice style and concept.

Some issues:
Sometimes cats would randomly jump off the raft for no reason.
I wasn't able to bring cats on the edge facing the goal onto the raft.
Steering itself felt like a full time job.

@kakatotsan

They can jump off the raft due to fighting, or they are sliding while standing on the edge.
Yes, sometimes you are not able to grab kittens on the edge, unfortunately :(

We will fix it eventually! :)

Nice game, I couldn't save the cats on the raft edges. I failed to control the raft even though I pressed E key.
I would love to see it without weird glitches

I see Doge, I play the game. Doge is life!
Nice graphics and sounds. The music is very relaxing. But as mentioned above, I have problems saving the cat as well... But overall, good game! :)

Very graphics, such chill, much music, WOW. I wanted to leave the comment here, but I must say other stuff, for example that the map is very well done, being able to move the boat right and left is a good way to improve the experience.

This is hilarious. I love the graphics. Gameplay is a little confusing (how do I prevent the cats from falling off?) but overall I liked it a lot.

Really nice graphics and atmosphere of the game! Monitoring cats on the raft was really difficult, but that's the point of the game, right? (:
Спасибо за игру (:

Adorable art concept and innovative (and yet a little confusing at first) gameplay.

Cats randomly suicide sometimes. Couldn't save any cats from the ocean. Opening the Help menu using F1 does not work on Chrome.

Took a few tries to win. That's good! Really nice music! Cats voices make me look back to see if my own cat is OK :)

It made me forget my allergy to kittens for a moment and I wanted to hug them all :heart_eyes:

This game is so great :) The graphics look awesome. I love the doge ;) However, the game is not that easy, because the cats seem to like to fight often and the game didn't let me pick up new cats sometimes. The music sets the mood really nice. Awesome work!

This concept is great. I felt bad for all of the cats my character couldn't pull from the water.

It gets really hectic, and with the music it adds an odd sadness to the game, knowing some of those cats just aren't going to make it.

The controls are a little bit difficult to grasp, as sometimes I wanted to steer, but could only break-up cat fights. Some cats couldn't be pulled from the water as well, usually on the front edge of the raft.

The raft damage and steering view are very well done. This is great jam work!

Why is the music so sad?

But the game is good. I like the idea of constant steer control and rescuing cats.

Such sad music for it! I couldn't quite pick up cats out of the water but I got the hang of sailing and breaking up cat fights just fine. Also, you used Pusheens so honestly that's an extra star in my book.

So cute!

07. Dec 2017 · 02:47 UTC
Really quite impressive! Unfortunately, it was sometimes quite difficult to get control of the raft as it shared a button with breaking up the cat-fights, would have been nice to have them be separate :)

The music is a nice fit with the whole "rescuing cats from the open water" theme and just trying to survive, despite sounding so sad!

Really nice, super cute art-wise!

Very nice game :) - sometimes I just have to save a cat twice for whatever reason

The art was terrific! The music didn't do it for me though. Also, the exit button was broken on my computer.

Very nice aesthetics, I love the visual style. Gameplay is quite fun too, it's an unusual and interesting idea to go down the river all the time without being able to turn back, while using camera angle like it's an open world.

REALLY A DEPRESSION, SAD GAME.

You did it.

I've seen many you-cannot-save-them-all games but all of them used a fast pace to drive the player mad. There is no time to empathy.

In your game, the piano builds up a tranquil atmosphere so the meows sound heartbreaking. The control is rather slow, just as the powerless feeling. And the cats' not understand to the savior enhanced the depression.

Very nice game but controls seem a bit too unresponsive. I sometimes feel that I can't control the raft. Maybe it was intended this way because of the river current, but yeah.
Also, I noticed the cats will fall out of raft too easily. Cat's can usually grapple even onto vertical surfaces, how can they just slip from the raft? :)
But nevertheless, this feels very polished.
Well done!

As already said: controls are tricky. I like the music, and graphics are nice. Overall, positive.

I have never felt so sad couse of a bug in my life XD i got a tiny cat asking for help in a corner of the boat and i couldn't get to him so i had to watch it drown...made me very very sad but aside from that really lovely game had lots of fun with it and feats the theme perfectly =)

Really awesome games.

I can't save all the kittens and it really makes me sad. Music adds sadness. Thank you for making collisions this way. Together with the control of the boat and the rescue of kittens, another could be too difficult.

---

I found a bug when the kitten went diagonally to the bottom left corner of the boat, and then fell into the water. I can't save him... :persevere:

From this place it is impossible to get out.
![bugCat.png](///raw/206/1/z/e593.png)

The **F1** key opens help for the google chrome.

Without help, I had to restart the game two times to understand how to return to control of the raft.

---

I will be sad about the kitten fallen because of the bug.

Who is dumping all these kitties! :scream: Slick graphics!

Had a few kitties on the side of the raft that I could not reach when I walked to them. Aside from that, a solid game!

So sad....nooooo, kitties T_T

Quite difficult in a way that makes you feel powerless, not sure if that was intentional. It somehow adds to the mood of the game though, sad helpless kitties drowning and there is only so much you can do to save some of them T_T
