MeOw! by Thalie-ND

[raw]
made by Thalie-ND for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

A cat and a bird are going crazy in a cluttered living room.

One keyboard. 2 players. Or two hands!

Play a cat and try to catch the bird, using the racket you both make as platforms.

Play a bird and cause a ruckus to make the cat go away.

The bird can turn on the radio by flying near it, the cat can stop it with a well place SWAT. Don't scratch the vinyle!

[Edit: Controls for cat in this build are ZQSD, because we're French and forgot QWERTY keyboards were a thing lol And also it's Godot's fault. Might be fixed at some point! Sorry about that!]

[Edit2: keyboard setup to qwerty standards, restart button added, cat taught to take a hit]

Meow! :smile_cat: Love the idea of a multiplayer. The keys are a bit tricky (when you play alone, hehe). Keep up the good work!

I like the graphics and the idea of falling text on movement.
Music and sound fits well. Nice entry!
Is there an option to restart the game? And why did you choose zqsd to control the cat instead of wasd?

amazing, but the control of cat is really confusing

@Helen @rainssong @nishikku Thank you so much for playing and commenting! You know what, we're French, and we totally forgot other players might not have a French AZERTY keyboard! I'll add a note about it while we decide how to fix this. Thank you for this feedback!

Pretty cool game! I love the idea of sounds having a lingering physical effect! In my first time, there was a but with speech bubbles appearing from nowhere and blocking everything but after that I couldn't see them anymore. Maybe having a health system could have been good, I feel it's a bit brutal to stop the session as soon as the cat get the bird. The visuals are cute and fitting. I like the name of the exe (Patapouf) but I'm french too so... Anyway great work!
