- [x] Changed installer to simple zipped build, because you asked for it
Update 28.04. [Tiny Meow]:
Hello fellow devs, hope everyone is well!
We thought we should clarify the mission in the game as we didn't have time to incorporate it into the game.
After getting the camera, the player should take quests from animals around the town. After photographing the requested spot, you should bring the photo back to the animal, drop it and the next step will be unlocked to go deeper into the city.
You can also take a photo of anything in the city, explore around as there are lots of cool spots, and find the best look for your cat (hats/glasses).
You can check all photos you have taken in your "Documents/Cat Screenshots" folder and if you find one that you like so, so, so very much, feel free to post it on twitter with #LD48 or #LDJAM. We would really appreciate it :)
Have fun!
Update 27.04. [Tiny Meow]:
Good morning everyone, hope you are well rested.
After fun and chaotic weekend we submitted our game "Just Photo Cat". Hop on deeper and deeper into the abandoned city, taken over by wildlife. Explore the streets, help the other animals, be a tourist and most importantly - have fun!

Managed to take photos, tried to give it to the pigeon but no reaction, so gameplay-wise not clear as stated above.
Still movement was smooth, art and music were great and I enjoyed the experience. Great work!
and default setup location is program files
not nice
not a fan of this gameplay though)
input and sounds are kinda jerky
mouse sensivity ftw
The game feels like it's full of secrets, especially with those adorable cosmetic items laying around. I also love how the mechanics incentivize you to observe the world around you instead of just moving through it. That being said, I still have no idea where the guitar is; after five minutes of looking, I took random pictures of the area and one of them just worked.
Overall this is a very cute game. Good job!
@eden-shazar thank you for feedback, we know there is a lot of polish to be added and we will try our best to fix it. P.S. Follow the green light for the guitar :)
I got stuck with the guitar picture, took it but the little guy never unlocked the next level. We could have some highligh for the other characters as some of them are quite difficult to spot in some areas.
Cool game, cool low poly models. Liked the colors of the environment and the gameplay. Then... I got stuck.
First, it's frustrating that I couldn't go back to previous areas. I tried crawling through and it wouldn't let me. Second, there are places where it looks like I should be able to crawl through, or jump over, and I just hit a wall. That's frustrating. You might use bramble bushes in between all the random stuff to fill out the blockades.
I wanted broken doors and open windows so that I could go inside buildings and explore. I wanted to be able to use that crawl mechanic more.
As for the sound, I really didn't like the sound of walking. Maybe it was just too loud, but I found it annoying. I also felt the cat was too slow. Personally I feel the sprint should have been the regular speed, and sprint a bit faster. The jump could use a bit more work, too, an ability to jump a little shorter.
I really enjoyed the game, and I hope you work it some more to make it into a full game.
