It's funny, it's cute, it's very well-animated, the idea is cool and the execution is on point. If I had to complain about something, perhaps moving the cursor to the edge of the screen should move the camera as well as the direction keys. Bravo, creator, nice work!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>PS. It reminded me of an old Flash game, Cat-A-Pult, is that why you used the &quot;O&quot; instead of &quot;A&quot; in the middle? Very different tone to this, though."},{"author_name":"ferfer957","author_uid":"52696","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 5:11pm","epoch":1472490360,"text":"At the beginning I thought this was just a rip-off of a very popular game... And I was completely wrong ! The concept is amazing, animations are cool, very well done :)"},{"author_name":"wheerd","author_uid":"92309","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 7:30pm","epoch":1472498700,"text":"I love this game! The idea and theme are really cool. There a re a couple of minor problems that I encountered:\r<br\/>1. If you fire a cat into the front wall, it takes ages for it to walk back until you can shoot again.\r<br\/>2. I managed to glitch a cat into the floor, by shooting it up really high. That can even let the cat slip though the floor completely, soft-locking the game.\r<br\/>3. On level 5 time a cat climed through a wood ceiling. Not sure if that is a bug or intended though. Used it in level 10 also.\r<br\/>4. On the level after that, a cat landed on a stone pillar, but slid down right through it. This is very much reproducible :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Completed all levels except level 8, where I finally gave up :\/\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A very polished game, a lot of fun, nice levels with a steep difficulty curve. Also, amazing graphics. Best thing is the game mechanic with the cats, which I really liked :)"},{"author_name":"Sun-Wukong","author_uid":"86196","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1472499420,"text":"@wheerd: Thanks for detailed reply.

Sometimes the arrow wouldn't follow the mouse though or disappear, which was a bit annoying (I'm on a Mac). Some sounds would have been nice too.

We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ?

I had fun - played about five levels.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Somehow, I managed to launch a cat in such a way that it walked directly off screen into the sky. This softlocked the game.
