Enter the life of a disorderly devon rex cat.

Be careful, this cat is highly unstable and subject to hardcore ZOOMIES.

Play through 5 levels to conquer the universe.

Your ZOOMIES level increases by eating bikkies, taking damage, or killing stuff. ZOOMIES are highly unstable and will not last long unless you can keep your chaotic primal instincts satisfied.

Really nice little game. Love the quirky art and the "trippy" effect. Really fun little game :)

neat game! Wish it had more of a feeling of progress between levels but I loved the sound effects and the movement felt very nice and responsive! Overall very cute submission!

Weird - as I expected. It reminds me another good game - Pony Island and I guess that you was inspired by this game. I noticed some interesting shaders so as to create good effects on camera. Sprites are well done - I assume that they are handmade no? The main gameplay is frenetic and addictive. This cat is fun. Have you recorded your voice so as to create by yourself the cat meow? Well done - a solid entry ++

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I make sure to play and rate all of your games as soon as I can :smile:

@coda-highland sorry the sound didn't work for you, maybe you could try the downloadable version?

@geckoo1337 Thanks for the feedback! The sprites are indeed handmade by @yuanankh, and I did record my own voice for the cat meows ^^ We were inspired by games like Yoshi's Story or Castlevania with some added weirdness and psychedelic effects, I've never played Pony Island but it looks pretty damn cool lol

Great game!! I love how relatively "normal" the game is until you get the zoomies. The slowdown effect on attack hit is fantastic and extremely polished; it adds so much weight to game and makes it feels great to dash around and swipe at some feet. All the visuals and effects are nice as well! I wish this cat's reign of terror was longer, but maybe it's for the best if the world didn't know of its power

@nazorus if you play Pony Island you will be surprised by a similar gameplay. However, in Pony Island you have many mini-games. For those who know Pony Island, your game has some same concepts. As I said above, well done ++

The concept is fun and I realy spend a great time playing it. The music and the sound effects made me want to keep scratching these rabbits.

Beautiful art, I love the color palette and the gameplay although it could be a little more fluid. Congratulations good job.

Crazy look and funny sounds! I really had fun playing it although I often dashed into the feet of my owner.
