Very cute, love the concept! As someone who didn't wake up until 2 pm I relate to this.

Hey fellow orange cat game! :>

It's a real cute and funny game where you can play as the cat to annoy the owner! I liked that all the stuff can be flung around chaotically, love the physics. The interaction with the fan switch was interesting, will love to see more funny stuff like creating a fire hazard and stuff >:)

This is so cute. Just like our game, it's a game about waking up haha. I love how everything is interactable and the art and sfx are so cute. Hard mode was interesting to say the least, all I did was kept throwing the toys around to build up meter HAHA. Great work on your first game jam!

Very strong submission!

I like the art, the music, the sfx... all comes together nicely with the gameplay.

Kudos even managing to implement two difficultys, and having played both, they seem really balance to their respective tag.

The only feedback I could think of, in hard mode I first thought "Oh I probably need to restart, Im too slow throwing things to the ground" to "Oh ... load up that big pile on the ground and now just spam"... Even though that way I could "win" the hard mode, I felt it was a bit cheaty. But that being said.. I wouldn't know a solution to it ^^.

Nevertheless I really enjoyed the game and loved it.

I love the concept behind this one it's so cute! The art and music was perfect and I had fun knocking everything onto the floor, then repeatedly kicking it around. Fun interpretation of the game jam theme!

Oh this is a great game, I really enjoyed this one. You could easily expand this, different rooms, cats, objects that chain other events…great job!

Slime Morphosis

Thank you for playing! Coincidentally, one of our ideas if we had more time was actually to make more rooms as levels after the bedroom, except it was the same human who kept falling asleep again while getting ready/on her way out the door. She's a very sleepy human! 😆
