Mess It Up! by Shiyuue
Lead your furry troublemaker across the kitchen, with a laser pen as the mischief signal, lure them onto counters and high places, and watch the mess unfold. Knock things over, leave muddy footprints, and see how much mess you can create before time runs out. But cats are still cats — sometimes the laser is too far away, sometimes they have their own little plans, and sometimes they just do not understand how to get where the dot is. You will need to guide them step by step and work with their curious little brain.
When you are done, please share how messy you make the kitchen to be by pressing "S" to save a screenshot, and share it with your final score. Screenshot does not work here, please go to itch page if you want to take one.

I believe I destroyed all the props. It was so cool to try a thing you always wanted but didn't dare to do with your real cat.
The art style is cozy and I like it. I expected the cat to move faster but I understand why it is not "blinks" from one spot to another (yes, my cat has that skill).
It is so much fun to demolish someone else’s kitchen, I tell you what.

very fun to have the cat move around and destroy things, I wish the cat would move a little bit faster to make it even more chaotic!
I liked the overall mechanic and the visuals.
I might have run into a bug: on my first playthrough, I got stuck in a corner on the microwave :D
Very cute and funny game with nice music and visuals.
I was wondering if you considered giving the cat an additional goal. For example, chasing a mouse running around the room, so while trying to catch it the cat would cause chaos everywhere.
In any case, this turned out really great. Well done!
It was fun! :)
