Lively by CJGladback

Keep the kitten interested in her toy by pointing and clicking on her environment. The jam version is missing...basically everything that makes a game. But it's several technical steps up for the programmer's experience, so all-in-all this was a fun and successful jam!

git gud:D
Was there anything I can do that I didn't do while I tried it out?
* i can click on the stick to zoom in on the stick
* i can click on the ball to zoom in on the ball
* i can click on the cat to zoom in on the cat
A very interesting idea gameplay wise. As some have already said said in the comments, if polished and built upon, the gameplay, coupled with the stylized graphics, can make for a very cool game.
Overall a cool entry.
Pity you weren't able to get it to where you wanted but you still modelled up an adorable cat with lovely animations. 😻 Best of luck next time!
For a moment there, the way the UI for the buttons is presented, I thought the gameplay was about clicking the LMB and RMB in a specific rhythm to make the cat move towards the things it needed. lol Maybe a new "mode" ;)
Contra: There is not much to do, and I have no idea where you wanted to take it ;)
But I'm glad you enjoyed the jam nevertheless! Good luck with the next jam!
