This is lovely. The game is super-cute and the premise is perfect for kitten-based antics. The feel is good and snappy. I would love to see it expanded into a bigger game with more types of things to swat. Maybe friends are needed to swat bigger, heavier items? A robot arm for inaccessible spots? A fork-lift driver's license for really big things?
Thanks, Akz! Definitely lots more to explore here. I need to come up with a simple next-sprint with a few ideas, that are motivating, and get crackin'.
Lovely and awesomely executed as usual. The problem is it feels so good that I want more. Consider developing it: more objects that can fall and something or someone that prevents that cat to have fun dropping stuff. Maybe when its owner enters the room, the cat has to stop so that it doesn't get caught. Also more pricey stuff is harder to reach but gives more points...I'm just saying! Great potential for a bigger game for sure ;)
Definitely more to do here. I need to follow through a little more with this one.
Annoyed owners were definitely something I wanted to experiment with. I wanted to capture the vibes of a cat trying to get the attention of their humans.
I did think of breakable objects, but without a break animation it seemed unfair to earn the break sound effect (I did find some very nice clay pot smash effects in one of my bundles)
Kitty turning on the sink is in the vibe of the long-view of the game, but burning things seems like more than I was going for. Cozy, not calamity. :P
Xed! You always set the perfect tone, sucking the player right into the story :)
Please consider this a prototype to this year's 20 Second Game Jam where our kitty solves mysteries in randomly generated apartments whose occupants have lost their keys, remote control, or an important piece of mail, or found themselves sharing their home with a mouse who doesn't pay their share of the rent! such a cat would have a rewarding, lucrative career while enjoying the side-effect of getting paid to make a mess!
Thanks for playing, VN! I had not considered the 'kitty is looking for things' angle. There's definitely a lot more that can be done with this feline. ;)

Controls and Presentation are great! I do wish I could get into a bit more trouble!
Having the objects crash on the floor would be very satisfying
Maybe the kitty could turn on the sink / overflow? Turn on the oven and burn something? Or maybe I just need therapy :)
Kitty does need to get into more trouble.
