Summon the Cat ! by Corgiz

[raw]
made by Corgiz for Ludum Dare 55 (JAM)

Pitch: We all know that cats are demonic creatures with eyes only for themselves, causing chaos wherever they go and fibbing around. But when it comes to spending time with your feline friend, it is always complicated. So you decide to use the sounds at your disposal to lure him to you. Between bags of kibble, pss pss pss, and intense patting, all means are suitable to get him to come to you. But be careful; you'll get too excited by the melody you create!

Features :
- Unique homemade sound effects! - A cute rhythm game that challenges you every second. Try to reach 70k points to summon the cat, or do the best score possible! - Musics are really catchy.

I did 58350, the sounds effects are really funny and the gameplay is addictive. Nice synchronisation with the music. The bottom part off the screen has so much going on that i didn't look at top before the end. Really like how you used the theme, congrats :clap:

I am a simple person. I see a cat game, I play the cat game!

Super fun game, I was not expecting a rhythm game but I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be one! Very cute art style, really responsive controls, and a good scoring system. All really good stuff, amazing job!

Time to try and summon my own cat using the same methods.

Very cute!
I was a bit sad that you can spam the keys and it still counts but overall it was still very enjoyable!

The idea of giving QWER meaning is a good one. I tried it twice. Nice job!Who doesn't like kittens?

This game is working way too well. I just booted it up, clicked, saw the notes coming, and as soon as I was about to hit one, my cat jumped on the desk and stood in front of the monitor. I put him on the floor, restarted, and he again jumped in front of the monitor. This game is too powerful. He's again in front of me as I'm typing.

The game was fun to play, I love rhythm games, so I really enjoyed this one too! Great job!

Good thing my experience with Osu and Night in the Woods came in handy here)
I would make 2-3 levels, but short, rather than 1 long one. But still very cool!

Cute little rhythm game! The default control scheme was not very comfortable for me (I typically play DFJK) and the charting didn't feel like it fit the music incredibly closely, but other than that, I love the idea and the concept is solid!
