If there is a cat I'm in! I had fun with your game, I enjoyed my time and the graphics look great! Congratulations!!

Lol that is one catchy song! :D The game felt polished and well made but perhaps some extra obstacles would have made the chase more interesting.
Either way, a solid game! Well done!

Wow! This one is really great! I really enjoy it!

I thought it was safe for me so I kept pushing these absolutely correctly named cans of paint when suddenly I got eaten by the hoover. Now it's 4th day I'm stuck, please somebody let me out. The game feels like a complete project, really well made!

@puddingzserem Haha glad you've noticed that absolutely correctly named cans :smile_cat: Thanks for playing and comment!

Spent too long thinking that I was trying to drop items on top of the vacuum haha, stayed way too close wondering why it kept stopping

I kinda loved it! The graphics were great and the gameplay somewhat unique. Though the music diid get a bit repetitive. But thank you for including Popcat. That was a funny idea.

Haha hilarious, I love this lil cat! Especially its face when it moves :O
Nicely made, and fun to platform across - I got to 46 items dropped I think, about 84 seconds was my max and then the hoover sped up to light speed 😂 Great job.

I read that as poop cat.
I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you.
As I say in the video, it's actually an original take on the endless runner. But the things you can not/collide aren't very clear.

It's fun and love the graphics!

I love the game! (We have cats so I can very relay to this idea...)

I had a good time with this one!

Everything felt pretty fleshed out, congrats on this, you guys should feel really proud! The graphics were suitably cute (btw, i LOVED the animation of the cat getting caught in the hoover at the end)

The jump felt a bit restrictive in that if I didn't quite make the jump, the gravity was so low that I lost precious time waiting to hit the ground before I could jump again and make my escape.

Overall really solid entry!

Great art!

Game could use some sound controls and balance tweaks, but overall very solid and nice experience.

Hoover going to light speed is quite shocking :D

@bdiaztobarra @roman-dubrovin @albertoz Thanks for your kind words! It means a lot to us :) Very happy to know that you had fun playing the game!

@appoxgames Ahaha, yeah! It's so catchy that we even made a mute button on game over screen xD Yeah, I agree, the level generation could be improved and more different objects added. We'll see to it when making "post-jam" version :) Thanks for your input and for playing the game!

@puddingzserem Yeah, but were those buckets absolutely correctly named or rather absolutely correctly painted?.. We'll never know :D Thanks for your feedback and thanks for having fun playing our game!

@cornfab Ahaha, yeah! We need to make everything more intuitive, right now it's kinda "thrown into the ocean" situation for a player. But thanks for playing and leaving a comment, hope you had some fun! :)

@dogesquad Thanks for playing! Very happy that you found something fun and appealing about our game! :) Music is a bit repetitive, yeah. We had two tracks prepared for the game but hadn't come to an agreement on how to use both of them and decided to go with only one. We'll add more tracks later when we'll work on the game again :)

@joedev 84 seconds, awesome! You are only a bit of time away from "the good ending" we included :) Thanks for having fun with our game, we really appreciate it!

@bottled-up-dark-peace Haha, poop cat xD I see how it can be read like that, but we just relied on popularity of the "popcat" meme :) Yes, things that you can collide with are not very clear visually, but basically it's cardboard boxes that you can collide with from all of the sides, other ones can be collided with only from the top. We'll be sure to make that more clear visually later on. Thanks for the input and for recording your playthrough!

@aliiiii Congratulations on unlocking "the good ending" :D And thanks for playing the game!

@sasquatchbstudios Thanks! The fact that you think that our game is well made melts my heart :) Jumping mechanic needs to be balanced a bit, I agree. Thanks for your input and for playing!

@vrex Yeah, I agree, we need to tweak the gameplay a bit overall and add a pause menu with settings :) Light speed hoover was my decision because I managed to survive for 6 minutes without any troubles, but guys were telling me that it needs to be slower. Maybe I should have listened to them after all ^_^' Anyway thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

Встретились называется 2 одиночества: пылесос-убивца и шерстяной дурачок ) Забавная игруля, в неё приятно залипнуть. Зачет, вы молодцы) продержался 145.6 сек, и скинул 99 предметов, не хватило единички до соточки(

@zef1r Ахаха, отличное описание ситуации :D 145.6 и 99 это отличный результат, круто!) Рады, что понравилось) Спасибо за добрые слова)

Had lots of fun, very funny. Nice entry!

Simple and ridiculous, But why the cat does not make *popo* noise

I appreciate we were both inspired by the popopopop-ness of pop cat :)
Cute little game, I like the art and simple concept, though the stamina felt a little forced. It felt like I was supposed to go out of my way to knock over objects, but knocking over objects punished me at the same time

Мне понравилась игра. Хотелось бы объяснение того, что прыжок можно зажимать, тем самым прыгая выше. Я так только с 3 попытки это понял, поэтому проигрывал(, когда встречал две коробки сразу.

Ha! I love everything about this. The music is a bit... strange to say the least, but it only added to the humor. Fantastic animations, lovely "story" (you know, from the cat's perspective, the vacuum is some terrible monster) and great gameplay to boot. Solid entry.

@zyang popo noises are making when items are dropping from the platforms =) It was planned to make an animation of mouth opening and closing, but time wasn't enough :smiley_cat:

Haha awesome! Count me in when cats are involved! :smile: I've had fun!

Very fun game. I like the idea and enjoyed playing. You also have a cool artstyle and nice sounds in the game! Good work!

It's so simple, but so fun and well made! You must certainly have cats cause this just captures the life of a cat owner perfectly! xD I think the mute button should also be available during the game or start screen, just on the game over feels a bit strange. That being said, i pretty much loved this, the knocked objects stopping the vacuum for a bit is a great touch, despite mentioning the mute button, i wouldn't press it, love the song and it fits perfectly with the chaotic mood of the game, art style is also on point, and the gameplay itself is also super fun! Very solid infinite scroller game, with some coins around that you could collect and then use to improve your cat i really see this being ready for a mobile release of some sort, absolutely amazing job everyone, great entry!

Very fun idea, nice visuals and funky soundtrack! I wish the difficulty curve would scale up a bit faster, it felt like I can run forever. Also a quick UX tip: using mouse to restart the game doesn't feels good because the rest of the game doesn't require it :) Great entry overall!

PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511766385994702858

That was a fun and adorable game! Really well done!

Freakin' cute. Game play felt good except for a few instances where I **swear** the Hoover missed me :joy:. Excellent work, very polished!

@jani-brezavscek haha yeap! Cats rule the internet! (and world) :smirk_cat: Thanks for playing!

@tankou Thank you, Tankou :kissing_cat:

@vitor-milioni What a detailed response! Thank you for all your words, mate :sunglasses: We already working on our post-jam version and mobile release, and will change position of mute button for sure :smile_cat: And yes, we have cats, we love cats, we undestand their tiny little cats souls! :hearts:

@antonsem Thank you! You absolutely right, the difficulty curve - is one thing we should work on. There is a sudden change of difficulty when stamina getting low, so you should wait and avoid stuff on platforms and in that moment hoover can catch you easily. And what about restart with mouse - this is very accurate comment, thank you! And thank you again for sharing our game in twitter :blue_heart:

@ossi Thank you a lot, Ossi! :kissing_cat:

@b3b0 Haha I believe hoover missed you, maybe because of his collider placed on the body of hoover, not on the pipe :smile_cat:

Thank you all for playing and comment! Have a great LDjam experience! :blush:

Funny game~ I love when people add voiced lines to their games like you put in your song. Adds a lot of personality.

The fucking vacuum cleaner scares the shit out of me! Thanks! I felt like I was in a cat's skin!

Great, fun, cool. A cat from a funny picture. The absurdity of what is happening. Good gameplay, graphics and sound... BUT THE VACUUM CLEANER! :smile: :fire:

I had a lot of fun with this game! There are a lot of details and imagination in this. I really enjoyed it and the mood was great! The theme with the cat knocking the things off the shelf to delay the hoover was a nice take on the theme. I have experienced my cat breaking a lot of my things so i can relate to the poor hoover lol

Dropped 160 items and successfully delayed the hoover for long enough!

Fun runner game. I liked the style and the bopin' soundtrack. The incorrectly named paint cans were funny. The gameplay is simple, but I think it works well. Good submission!

@sawyer Great! Thanks for playing and leaving a comment, this means a lot! :)

@zyang Thanks a lot! Yeah, the cat does make a "pop" sound but only when pushing objects down :) The sound itself is a bit quiet though

@mopifish Thanks for playing! Regarding the stamina, I agree this mechanic falls a bit too short. We initially wanted to make it more tactical somehow so that player would make a choice between running faster or pushing an item at the cost of speed, but didn't have time to balance it correctly :( We definitely will in later versions!

@weewsa Спасибо большое за добрые слова) Да, пожалуй стоит хотя бы описание обновить насчёт прыжков. Я когда эту механику делал - думал, что это стандарт для платформеров и не должно быть по-другому, но зря я по себе судил)

@100th-coin Haha, thanks! :) Yeah, music was made intentionally as silly as it could be without sounding atrocious :) I agree, Niklas really went all out with animations! Big thanks to him too ^_^ And I'm very happy that gameplay was to your liking, thanks for everything again!

@jani-brezavscek Ahaha! Yeah, cats are great, we agree! Thanks for playing! ^_^

@tankou Thanks, this means a lot! :) Glad you enjoyed the game!

@vitor-milioni Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed commentary! Ahaha, yeah, including mute button only on game over screen was intentional so that people could hear this audial masterpiece at least once per playing xD We'll definitely add pause screen and settings in later versions :) But anyway, thanks once more for sharing your thoughts and for encouraging us to go beyond! ^_^

@antonsem Thank you very much for trying out and tweeting about our game! Yes, I absolutely agree with you, even despite depleting stamina you still can just push all the items and run almost endlessly (hence the ENDLESS runner ahaha) we'll definitely see to re-balancing the game. And thanks for UI/UX tip :)

@ossi Thanks a bunch, Ossi! :) Very happy to hear that you had fun ^_^

@b3b0 Haha, thanks! Yeah, no doubt that some bugs concerning colliders can be encountered right now :) I fell through the floor while doing an hour-long playtest session xD I guessed that it happened because floor segments' colliders were not overlapping and I made them overlap, after that we never encountered this bug again, but I never did this for the hoover ^_^'

@amberfall92 Thank you! ^_^ Yeah, this voiceline was actually main inspiration for the song :D

@sofignedova Ahaha, agreed! This vacuum cleaner is really intimidating with it's mad hose flailing and whatnot :D Thank you for playing the game!

@mrbrainfed Ahaha, yeah! Why should we always be concerned about a cat, think about how the hoover feels xD Thanks for playing and commenting!

@boxedmeatrevolution 160 items is a really good result! Thanks for your feedback and having fun with out game! :)

Looks fun. Could be on html5 game portals.
I kinda feel bad for the cat :)
I wish you could use Space for jumping as I usually use WASD and playing with one hand is not convenient with wasd+x combination

The game runs great, no bugs or anything bug infested or breaking - and in design and concept it's fine but the music and sfx were annoying, the cat looked ugly, and it the gameplay got really old really fast.

@apandso Thank you very much! Yeah, I wanted to add Space as a second key for jumping, but it caused a bug with jump height being twice as big and I removed it from the game as it was Monday night and already too late to add new features :( I think we'll add more control schemes later

> The game runs great, no bugs or anything bug infested or breaking - and in design and concept it’s fine but the music and sfx were annoying, the cat looked ugly, and it the gameplay got really old really fast.

You probably won't see this response, but anyway, thanks for leaving a comment and being honest! We're very sorry that you didn't like our game. And I agree with you that there is no diversity at all in gameplay now. We tried to make it more engrossing, but failed :( About cat being ugly and music being annoying. I can understand how you feel. This was an intentional decision to make the game more wacky in a good way. I'm sorry that we could not convey this idea well enough :(
Thanks for your opinion again! Comments like that only make us try harder and be even better! :)

Great game! It seems that after a while the difficulty ceases to grow, as I survived longer that I expected, and only died due to a mistake. The objects started to repeat themselves, too. A lot to improve concerning the controlling, etc. But generally it's fun to play!

very fun, not much of a challenge all things considered. love the sound design

Very good game, although some objects were impossible to reach, also sometimes the vacuum just got instant speed for no reason... Overall I had a lot of fun with it...

cats are always great! the physics felt good, which is something that stands out from a lot of other games. my only complaint is that it seems theoretically possible to go forever

Really fun concept. The movement and jumping were pretty straightforward. Would be cool to have the paint splatter as you knock it over, and have the level scale up in difficulty rather than the vacuum getting a big boost to speed to the point that it ends the game. Overall great job!

Cool little game with a good mood! I liked the dropped item "score", the colorful look of the game! I don't understand how the stamina work and music feels a little bit annoying because of the really short loop! Great job guys 😀

A game with cats is always good :>

The visuals are hilarious. From the cat's facial expression when being sucked in, to the incorrectly named paint buckets. Some very funny details. I can see humor was definitely a major focus for this game (which I approve a lot!).

Hahaha!!!! As a fellow catgame creator, I love this!! :D

The sprites of the cat we're simply hilarious and the fact that the enemy is a vaccum cleaner.. lol.

This made me feel bad about cleaning lol, I will be more considerate towards my cats from now on :b

It took a bit to get used to it with down and up but was then easy with just moving the middle finger :)

Music was cute & silly and fit the game pretty well :)

Good job a guys! A very adoreable game!

Everything was going alright until the hoover decided to shift to 5th gear and claim all of my 9 souls in a single suc. This was fun :D



---

I mean it was a fun experience this and i see a lot of possibilities with the game in the future. Really good for a second entry aswell! I remember the mess that i was in when starting out haha. Hope I see you in the future

super funny idea! It took me a second to figure out all the mechanics and stop running straight into the vacuum cleaner, but then I got a pretty good run going. Too bad the vacuum cleaner is just too much of a menace though.

Nice fun game. Good job.


Breakdown! Breakdown! Had a fun time with this one, weird concept, but as long as the execution is solid run with it! Beautiful graphics, catchy audio, really great stuff.

Critiques: I couldn't figure out what if anything stamina did, and this feels like a lost opportunity not including some sort of catnip power up. This is also being very nitpicky, but I'd have liked some alternative controls, or controller support. Arrow key and space makes me sad! Also maybe having some more verticality would have been nice.

Aside from the reaching I did above, was really enjoyable all around!

The cats face is just hilarious :laughing:
Very fun game! Good entry!

Cool runner. Cool background music. But vacuum cleaner switch mode from harmless, to turbovacuum little bit too fast. Great work!

I think this is the first place in audio. A very fun and intense game.

Очень понравилась игра! Реально интересная идея, залипательно вышло! Долго смеялась с того, как кота засасывает. И понравилось, что через х можно регулировать высоту прыжка )

Fun game! The concept is really fun, the art looks great and is easy to read.

Making good platforming controls is very hard, and this is close to it even if it lacks small polish like coyote jump or a buffer.

Thanks for the game I had fun 😼
