You can't stop a cat determined to ruin your whole house, but you can keep them distracted for a while!

I would have liked to polish the UI some more, and fully furnish the house. But despite a few setbacks this weekend, I managed to get at least a basic version of all my planned features done!

This project was almost derailed by my actual cat, Marceline, eating something she shouldn't. She's fine, but I lost a few hours! I guess being delayed by a cat is inevitable.

Here's the star of the game herself: PXL<em>20210401</em>112607857.jpg

I'm glad your cat is safe!! Mine went missing and was found dead on last Friday prior to the Game Jam. He was a real active guy destroying everything in the house, so that game hit me real hard. But I absolutely dig your pixel art style! And the game is soo much fun. :heart: :heart:

This is hilarious, really fun concept and gameplay, and the art and music is really good.

Great work!

Also, I'm glad your cat is fine!

The only thing missing? The end score :p Maybe you have leave yourself such a situation and code all your despear in this one. Nice game and beautiful mate to keep your hand warm during long night coding. Music fit the game very well. You guy rock, keep coding !

Cute kitties are inevitable! The art and animations are so, so cute and the music and sounds are fitting. I wish the kitties' hitboxes were a little bigger to make it easier to target them while they are running around and maybe a clearer end score, but all in all adorable!

Such a fun little game! Art, music and sfx was all lovely and fit together very well.

I got up to 4 cats :D.

Some feedback I can give is to give hotkeys to the buttons like [1, 2, 3, 4] instead of having to click them so I can have more time petting the cats T_T.

Here the very presence of cats makes this game the best :3

The artwork is perfect. Also it has cats. so 10/10.

The scoring could indeed be more clear and I wish it would be more obvious when I am close to losing.

Other than that I had a great time with this. Well done.

Forgot to mention your cat:
She is really cute. I hope you will have many more gamejams together.

I love this game! Specially the graphics, they remind me of Habbo! The music is great too, and the cats are annoying during the gameplay haha, fantastic work! :v:

Sooo cute)) And absolutely realistic behavior! It would be great to add some interaction with environment, and it would be easier with even more various combination. get fish from crate, or give em ball from some pack. they coud play it until destroying. And one more thing could be add - it's something higher like book shells or tall lamps. As wheel as baying furniture where they can find warm point. Or laptops - obviously most comfortable place to sleep)

Great art and fun gameplay, but like other comment says a score and an indicator if I'm about to lose would be a nice addition.

So cute animations!

I can surely empathize with this situation, my cats keep causing chaos in my house :laughing:

This is a very cute game! The music, sound effects, and graphics are all great. Like others have said, it would be nice if there was a score counter and the cat's hitboxes were larger. Great job!
