Finally, a good cat game! It's really fun I love it
The quickest time I got was 21 seconds 😺

Why is there a human motorboat in my ear? :D Cat games will always get extra points!

CUUUUTE! Love the sound FX here. I think having the bars be beside each other would help the player manage the states a little easier, otherwise there's just too much to look at. But otherwise, awesome game!!

Very meow-able game:D I really like the cute cat model. The collisions were a bit weird, I would touch the food but sometimes it would not register, so it didn't feel fair sometimes:/ And I reached the fridge the second or third time when I was playing but nothing happened. I am not sure how exactly it fits the theme though. Overall I really liked the creative ideas when it comes to boxes, vacuum cleaners and what surprised me the most was the cucumbers!:D

Boxes reducing anxiety is cute! My best time was 15.61 seconds when just making a run straight for the fridge.


Thank you everyone! Mat the cat is very happy you liked its game ^w^

@daveranan thanks for the suggestion! Actually we didn't focus on the bar's usability, we can improve it for sure

@maksimj sorry for the weird collisions, I can confirm that some of them weren't that straight. To answer your doubt: you should jump INTO the fridge to trigger the end game

You've come up with a wonderful mechanic for a cat-themed game and used the theme well, we couldn't achieve that. Best of luck with your game, it seems to have become extremely viral!

Is this a legendary BlenderDonut ?XDDDD I love that cat. Some more environment could improve the game feel by 100% <333

Wow this game was so good and funny, it reminded me a bit of Garfield 2. The music was also good. I almost died from laughing when I pressed M.

I like the visuals, music and the game mood. For some reason the cat would not always eat, but instead stand on the donuts. But overall a pretty fun little game. Well done.

Great game and funny too, the gameplay itself is pretty good. The cat's model is fantastic haha but I am getting pretty tired of cat-related games in gamejams XD

Very funny game! I think there is a bug because sometimes my cat would not eat the donuts (in the patched version) or maybe it's just me idk. Nice game anyways!

My potato computer was not too happy, but I managed to play for a bit and it seemed fun! Laughed a lot when the cat touched a cucumber. But a less-unreal version would be nice for us mortals ;) Nice!

The game is good and the process is fun

Thank you all for your useful comments! We have limited time to catch up and polish our game, so sorry for delayed answers.

@portalis I'm happy other cat-themed-game developers appreciate our game! We all have room for improvement and I think details are important in the process. Wish the best for your lovely game too!

@nirlandec yes it is xD the props are mostly from the UE starter content and sketchfab, except the cat and UI as noted (that's why we opted out from Graphics). Thanks for the environmental feedback, we'll try to spend some more effort about that!

@jk5000 @lastuck happy you liked the game! There is indeed a bug that prevents the cat from "properly touching" the food, which is not ok because the hunger increases a lot in the meanwhile. We hope to upload a patch solving this.

@notnasiul I'm very sorry for that... I'm a newbie in Unreal so I'm aware the game may be poorly optimized, plus it can't be packaged for browsers like I've always done when working with other engines. I'm committed to improve in order to deliver more easily accessible versions in the future!

Nice and cute game! My main issue is that imo boxes should stop increasing your anxiety when you're inside besides just decreasing it. Also, it seems like they're bugged, they didn't work every time. Besides that, good game.

@dod108 we based every effect on a timer that should run instantly, if not so I'll have a check. I'm aware this method is fast but not optimal, so we'll try to implement a smoother solution. Thank you for the feedback!

This game looks so adorable. Great music and fun gameplay! Great work!

Cute and fun game with nice visuals and wonderful audio!
It was a bit buggy for me though, which could lead to some frustration: I sometimes didn't eat donuts but moved them through the level, the boxes sometimes didn't trigger and once I fell out of the level.

Wow, honestly I was scared by the size of the download, more than 700 mb I thought it was a bit absurd, maybe poorly optimized? Or really heavy graphics? Even very large and graphically good games are nothing more than that. So I ended up not downloading it to test unfortunately, but I wanted to comment here because I think the size of the game in this case could have a negative influence. I don't think most people are willing to download something larger than 700 mb, and downloading something is already a factor that demotivates many since html5 in the browser on itch.io and others is already the biggest advantage. At this size, it could mean a serious problem. Generally Unreal has made games very big and it seems like some effort is needed to make them smaller, I don't know if that was the case here.

love this game! i echo the issues with the download, webgl tends to be the easiest to run and that helps on ldjam

i once jumped on the donut instead of eating it, that was fun, but i made my way through to the fridge! i think i went through the cabinet by the side of the fridge once though.

Wow that's pretty hard! :D Got a bit of effort to make it work, but managed to boot the game. Actually enjoyed it a lot, probably will play some more again! First try I died from a vacuum cleaner, then from not going into boxes enough, then from hunger xD I like how everything looks, it's just super fun, cat reactions are cute, and the idea makes a lot of sense for the theme - limited space ^^ And robot vacuum cleaners are indeed scary! My cat always worries (though less than from a regular vacuum) and follows me around, probably thinking I can protecc her :')

@lincolnsalles as I mentioned earlier, I am aware that the game is poorly optimized agaist the cumbersome defaults of Unreal: it is definitely possible to shrink the package a lot with the right adjustments. I was also naively disappointed when I discovered that UE5 can't natively export to WebGL... during the jam, so no time for these tweaks (at least for a newbie). So far, I always cared to publish jam games on browsers. You made some very good points and your feedback helps me to understand that trying UE5 wasn't the best choice in the Ludum Dare context, I hope to do better as I progress with learning :)

@donut-team @erkberg @stellar-lily happy you liked the game and the audio! We wrote down your bug reports, hopefully we'll work on them on a post-jam version, along with proper optimizations

@kanity the game was somewhat designed to be hard, but a finer tuning is indeed required (e.g. collisions, anxiety/hunger influences)

@fiordarancio Yes, the important thing is that even with the unforeseen events we managed to be here and received enough classifications. Next time we will definitely be better

Absolutely adorable I love this kitty's design!
