Sink or Swim by wrexialmt
Story
The humans arrived late that evening, they wished each other a good night and conveniently ignored my imploring plight for food (fuck’em) and so I watched them march upstairs with my tail held high, their voices slowly subsiding to the silence of the night. I began contemplating the day when they will give me their full attention and bow down to me. However, I’m not alone; in the foggy mist of the room there is something; something that looks at me from time to time, a penetrating shine that pierces my eyes; It’s smell invigorates me and I loath for the day that I can get close to it and clasp it’s small silky body into my jaws, oh yes...It will be puuuuuuurfect...
Tomorrow will a great day; human n03 is quite fond of it and I heard her say that she will be cleaning its home and putting it in the sink for the time being; I’ve been waiting for this day for far too long; but like my old man “Victorious” once said; patience…meow... I shall wait my time, hide in a place where no one will expect me; yes, a quiet place that no one will ever know….

Esp love that you thought of details like the full sink XD
Anyway, great game! I liked it.
The fish is awesome really dig the style.
The cat boss fight appearance and the dramatic music was gold.
@nnnikki can you please elaborate on the "this-is-my-first-ever-game style" if you're referring to the design/feel thanks so much that's right on point on what we were aiming for.
- Reading the introduction, I thought I *am* the cat.
- I don't know what the worm are for. I just keep eating them but what are they?
- I honestly don't know why I keep dying. I always die after the 2nd cat appearance. I have dodged every thing red on the screen but I just die, so I gave up.
@avavt : ye we got the intro possibly from the wrong pov but it was kinda intended, lesson learnt i guess :D Worms are the food for the fish so it lives until the next cat attack :) and dying theres 4 ways : Hitting the edge when the water is overflowing, not enough water is still in the bowl, you touch the cat's face, you get hit by the cat's red attack. If you found anything else that's killing you feel free to send me a vid clip that must be a bug which im not aware of! And those are generally my fave kinds of bugs haha :D
