Great game! Would like to see some wall textures, probably would add to feel of speed as you move, especially when there are no objects on screen. Great job!

The change-up! The *double* change-up!

I cannot catch that mouse at all. Whatever, it fits the theme anyway.

Great original ip! Music was a little bit annoying, maybe make a longer loop.

Really nice game! It was rather funny and surprising once I got it. However, it took a bit too long for that to happen - maybe shorten the trigger time? Other than that, great job!

Do you ever catch the mouse?! It seemed that once I got close enough the mouse matched the cat's speed.

@infinitycore well, there are other options and other ways to play, other than catching the mouse ;)

Short and quirky game, nice. When I got chased by the cat, it scared the hell out of me, lol.

Ahhh, running the other way did not help!!! :smile: Nice little game! Loved the art. If only the music wasn't so annoying (sorry!)

Good idea - fits the theme really good. Won't say much more to not spoil anything - but great job making this :)!

Nifty little game! My curiosity led me to the twist, wish there was a couple more visual things before the loop restarted or maybe a little more to interact with. Definitely like this one though, good job :smile:

Very frustrating, I catched the mouse 3 times hoping that something else would happen eventually, but I guess it was a loop after all. It must be a fun game, I couldn't stop playing out of curiosity. This is a perfect game to have tons of easter eggs, I suppose it might actually have some that I didn't find?

@tarfield thanks! it has one or another little twist if you try to do things a little different ;)

I want to say - what is a clever or sometimes creative idea. I like that you're chasing the mouse for eternity. It feels symbolic. But a gamer inside of me doesn't like that he can't beat the game. It is just unfair and feels wrong. I also like the splash screen it prepared me well for the game and set the mood. The music though is very harsh and you should definitely work on it better. Overall, the game gave me interesting thoughts of the life in general! Nice done!

@dmitry-mozgin Thank you! You can actually beat the game, there are a couple different endings on it ^^
Yeah, I am also not a big fan of the music, is a big low point, in hindsight I should have tried another aproach to it.

@cleitoneldorn ohh, I see. I guess I just gave up too quickly. And I have a sound issue in my game too, so you're not alone. :)

Absolutely great - was stuck in the loop for a while, but felt there must be some secrets so tried a few different things, and am very glad I did :). Twist was brilliant, art style is cute, and the jump feels nice and responsive.

An interesting fun way to show a Loop.
