Great little game. The meowing sound effect was great. The physics are a little wonky, but that probably contributes to the wacky feel of it.

Cute! The meowings are as annoying as my cat's so that's (almost) a good point, I love the graphics and the concept is just hilarious. Also it doesn't feel unfair so losing is just frustrating enough to keep you playing, awesome.
(Thanks for the Linux port!)

I would suggest to build a version for Web, it will get you more play and wouldn't be a problem for this kind of game.

The game is fun and cute, I'll point out one thing though, white cat on white windows isn't very visually clear.
Good job man !

Is the score on the left or right? I had 11 dollars on the right at the most cats. Great game! Love the idea

This game is adorable, I had some laughs when I accidentally moved my mouse too fast into a bunch of cats and they all flew off at an amazing speed. Smooth gameplay with cute graphics and sounds, it was enjoyable playing your game!

Simple but solid concept paired with appropriately cute visuals. The bed upgrades are scaled nicely too; always available just around the right increments. Dealing with the physics and the shapes of the cats are definitely the charm points.

A really cute game, love the graphics! Cat physics are on point too. I was devastated when the bed/cash reset when I accidentally knocked off the cat on the cabinet with a cat that I was already holding though, guess I was just having too much fun trying to rotated the cat :P. Thanks for the Web release!

It was hard dealing with the cats... just like real life :)

Nice entry, you should add an in game tutorial (read the description after staring to a cat for a minute)

This game was nerve-racking - in a fun way! xD

And yeah, the cats didn't behave like I wanted them, too. Just like in real life they do have their own will.

I don't think I quite got the meaning of the number/sign in the top left corner though.

Good take on the theme! Love the cats!

Cute - cute, I tell you! I think it could use a time limit or some other mechanic for extra challenge, since currently the gameplay, while enjoyable, isn't very varied. The art style is adorable.

An awesome and addictive little game! I wasn't a huge fan of how the cats began to violently vibrate and rotate and topple over out of nowhere, but it was still a lot of fun finding cool ways to stack them up and then buying new beds to stack more of them up! Could use some music in my opinion, but overall it was a super fun little experience, well done!

ITS SO CUTE

The game is nice and really fun, and except for the somewhat wacky physics the game was very polished.
A very solid game overall.

Interesting game. I like the graphics and the audio, and it's fun trying to stack the cats on the bed. Though I'm not entirely sure why my cats kept trying to roll to the left, it was much more difficult because of it.
