i too love cats. very cool & interesting concept.

Very interesting premise, it is hard to balance both aspects.  I liked that the different npc's behaved different, cool work on that. The aesthetics were very cute but I did find a bit of contrast between the small animals and the huge stumps haha
A fair bit challenging as well (I gave up for now on the 50 ending haha), very enjoyable!

Such an adorable game 💖
I like how you built the different characters. It was interesting to test out different strategies 🐈‍⬛🐈😻✨

This game was an adorable blast! Had such a fun time with my partner playing this one. I dunno if we survived 35 rounds like scy4 (wow!!) , but it was such a delight to play. Love the mechanic that forces the player to balance distance and socialization, and also take into consideration what interactions are most beneficial for that moment. 

Wonderful work!!

Really solid game! The puzzle was surprisingly challenging and I couldn't figure out how to get the third ending but, I managed survive 35 rounds. The interpretation of the theme was also really unique balancing loneliness and stress. Nice work!

Thank you for playing!! Once you have passed 50 turns, you can get the third ending, but 35 is still a very good grade!: D Just enjoy it!

I love this! I relate to the concept a lot, the cat is literally me irl

Developer

Thank you for playing!! Cats are angelic animals❤❤

Very unique idea! I did have a little trouble understanding exactly what to do at first, but that could have just been my error. Nice job on the music, and I really appreciate the language translation you included as well!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!! I've listened to this music so many times that I'm tired of it, so it's nice to hear you like it! :)

This is very cute and polished and feels very girly to me in an not so on the nose way, which i appreciate!  I love round based games and it was so cool with the diffrent tiles to walk on. Makes you think! Its so cute the visuals are PERFECT! The idea is so relatable and it works perfectly. Very very good game! I was having such a good time with this. 

Developer

Thank you for playing!! Glad this game brought you a good time ❤ I really appreciate your kind words ——!!

Aw, I wish the kitty sweet dreams too! This is a really nicely done game, and such an endearing premise -- I certainly want the cat to not be lonely. The little "mice" are such a silly addition too. Passed out due to loneliness after round 50; got greedy and tried going after the orange cat with tuxedo dude right behind me!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!! Contrary to you, sometimes I can't get back to the cats because I'm chasing the mice LOL

Lovely! Very clever mechanic, and I love the world expanding and dropping some lore on my head ._.

If I had to complain, I would about the Tuxedo gentleman not being agressive enough gameplay wise, since I could easily stay on one place back and fourth interacting with the black cat, not much else though, great game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!! Here to send you some ❤❤❤ :)

Also thank you for your suggestion, I really need to add the tuxedo cat's oblique movement algorithm ><

Submitted(+1)

Solid game with an innovative mechanic, the art is cute, and I think you did a great job using the theme, which is, in my opinion, the hardest and most important part. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!! Very happy to receive your comment ❤❤

I wanted to enjoy this more I think, I like the style and the idea, I kept trying, but It was really not obvious what was happening, how turns worked, how to move onto next levels, etc. Nice work though!

Developer

Thank you for playing!! Sorry I didn't provide a perfect experience >< Each move is a turn, but occasionally the score is calculated incorrectly... There seems to be no clear concept of level at the moment, when ginger cat appeared is the final game. I will try to make better works in the future :)

Submitted

It's still a great idea! It's for a game jam so none of our subissions are anywhere near perfect or ready! Most of our games are prototypes really! Well done

Submitted(+1)

Sweet game with nice, elegant gameplay. The problem solving is engaging and I found the art and story of a cat wanting both to be alone and with others very touching!!

Developer

Thank you for playing!! This trait of cats is indeed fascinating;)

Submitted(+1)

interesting game!! really feel the game as I feel like the cat sometimes LOL the game is nicely done - good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!! Cats are treasures of the world lol. Thanks again for enjoying the game❤

I really liked the game. Its cute, it make you think a little bit, but more importantly - it resonates strongly with my feelings through such simple way.  Great job

Developer

挺好玩还有画的很可爱但是有无限循环。有发展空间!

Developer

是的,我也发现了无敌点(捂脸)但是临近提交来不及修改了  感谢游玩和建议!!!

The strategy design was really innovative and I think with more levels and testing this could be an actual professional game some day. A few times, we encountered really fun situations where we were strategizing to escape/catch a specific cat. However, at other times, we found ways to simply go back and forth between two adjacent tiles and rack up turns easily. 

The art looks really polished and I'm astounded by the vibe you were able to give off. 真的做得很好!:)

Developer

Thanks for playing and leaving such a long comment!! You brought me the motivation to update this game ❤

This game is amazing. I really enjoyed it, it's super cute.

Developer

Thank you for playing!! I enjoyed your game too❤

What a fun strategy-like game! The title card is so cute, and so were the visuals for the multiple endings.  Hopefully the little kitty can enjoy it's nap in ending 3!

Developer

Thank you for playing my game and even collecting all endings!! Really moved ❤

Nice concept, I liked it! Would love to see more types of cats and animals that increase the complexity further.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!! If I have the chance, I will make more cute animal ❤ The cat in your profile picture is cute too!
