- I'm shaking. I've done it !!! TAKE THAT YOU DAMN CAT !! I didnt know it was possible to hate and love something at the same time. I sweared like a salors playing it and yet I would press play again and again. This would make for a great game for streamers ngl. It was stressful and engaging. I was fun to find ways to get around stuff and find the food. Oh fish head, my beloved. I would genuinely FEAR the cat and scream as it catches me. I really like the feeling of crawling on the ground and I generally don't like stamina bars but this time it made a lot of sense. It took me a bunch of tries, but I felt sligthly better each time and felt like I was progressing as I knew the level layout a little bit more every time. Great level design. Great audio. The hub with the other rat cooking some cheese and the tutorial on the wall was great. I really enjoyed this game. Great job.

Great game! Me and a groupmate enjoyed playing it, and he loves watching the paws of the cat model moving around the most. We had a bug where the food counter went up while we died holding a cheese.
That was really fun! I also had those weird blue buttons on my screen when playing, I tried recording gameplay but something went wrong and OBS didn't capture the footage, unfortunately. Apart from that, it's a great game and I love the music that plays when the cat spots you, adds a lot of tension. Nicely done!
Fun! I like all the different places you can crawl through and hide. Like some have said, the cat is really fast so you don't have a lot of time to react when it spots you. There's also a bug that the food counter goes up by 1 when you lose a life, so I won with collecting only 3 foods.
This is just a minor thing but I haven't seen anyone else mention this, every time I run the game it starts downloading something? Once it does there's also these weird blue buttons that only appear in fullscreen.
But overall, good use of the theme so well done!
Hi Thank you for playing! <3
Downloading it is normal. (We used Unreal, so there is no Unity-loading-bar like in most other games)
Those buttons tho are annoying. We did not have that while testing. Maybe something about your aspect ratio, browser-zoom, fullscreenmode or something like that. :D
This was a great game! Great use of the theme in a unique format with a 3D FPS game. I did have an issue where the cat got stuck right away on my first run, but I did refresh and play it again and it was really enjoyable! Good stuff!
So stressful but still pretty fun !!
So good!!! The art is peak, and it kinda gives me pikmin vibes?? The cat mechanic is really nice too, and combined with the level itself makes for some fun and interesting scenarios! Overall, I had a ton of fun playing this one, I would definitely like to see it expanded.
The cat chasing after you is genuinely very scary 😂 Definitely fits with the theme. The game reminds me of PC adventure games I used to play as a kid, very fun. I like the environment you have built. Well done!
I've learned something.
I'm not very sneaky.
oh boy! It was difficult for me to get started, but maybe I got unlucky on where the cat spawned! Cute and fun though. Lagged a bit at the beginning but seemed to be fine. Sound effects were a little loud but maybe that's just me. Quite enjoyable overall :)
I never thought I'd scream at a cat in fear but here we are. This gave me so much anxiety XD
Good job!
Its super cool! The environment is done well, and I feel fear when the cat runs towards me! 😾
This is really cool! I'm also working on a game (not for a jam) where the player is tiny and everything around them is huge — it’s a tricky approach when it comes to level design. The interior feels super cozy, and the mouse in the safe room adds to that warmth!
Great job!
I really like the perspective of the mouse and all the little places that you can run, hide and sneak through. The running felt good and it really does feel like you are small in a big world :P
I liked how the music changes and the game feels more frantic when the cat sees you
A really nice entry. Well done :)
Very fun! Amazing work!
Rated! A fun game, I really liked all the "beware cat", and "find food" messages on the wall. Also, if you have the time, could you also rate "hunting but magical?"
