How does your game fit the theme?
It’s a satirical game that critiques short-form video platforms (e.g., TikTok) for encouraging users to ignore real, important problems. It explores three recurring loops: (1) social disconnection, (2) daily reel consumption, and (3) disrupted sleep routines.

It's so sad being this kitty :(
I got way too invested with the notifications. Duolingo was my favorite. Oh my gosh, this game is not real. Literally, laughing on the floor, rethinking life right now. Y'all should play this game. 🫃
This game is too real 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
hahaahah hope you enjoyed it!! thank u for playing hehe <33
Poor Patches.
I have rarely had such fits of laughter in a jam (yes, I love degenerate humor), and today’s social media presentation couldn’t really be more accurate. An excellent interpretation of the loop theme, with nice drawings and very well staged reels! (I think the only thing that would have been missing for a completely realistic portrayal would have been violent and offensive videos, but I think it’s a good thing that you didn’t include those, lmao)
Bonus points for my brother Duolingo who made a brief appearance!
Very anxiety inducing and too real, well done!
so relatable, especially those "cat fitness" app notifications haha! had fun and found myself unable to stop the doomscroll cause the memes were choice!
haha I get health notification everyday but ignore it all the time!! thank u for playing and i also liked ur game a lot <33
Ohhhhh the concept is so simple yet working so well! It realllllly feels like we are too much often this cat. I loved the artworks, the memes, the neverending notifications, the jokes… well everything! Thank you for this gem!
Dang, it got real at the very end... Great way to comment on how we can be stuck in a loop, kinda like how my character is in my game. I enjoyed every reel, they were hilarious! Awesome and cute little game!
ahhh so true and I loved you're game too!! thank u so much for playing <33
Really enjoyed this concept, the art style was amazing and the memes were really good :)
Way to realistic!!! I love it, so cute haha
hahah thank u so much ><
I loved this so much, especially the art it was so cute and funny :D
Also felt painfully relatable being stuck doomscrolling as it gets later and later...
Such a nice idea and really well executed ^^
ahhhh thank u so much for your kind comment!!! Will try out your game too! <33
Loved this game so much! So funny!!! loved the sound and art... wanted to catscroll forever!
thank u so much for playing!!! I love your dancing roach hahahhaha
This game is so silly and I love all the silly notifications you keep getting as you keep doom scrolling. Very nice game.
thank u so much!! ur comment made my day <333
Very fun concept XD and wayy too relatable. Would have been cool to see some sort of story unfold with every loop haha still quite a funny experience, good job! :D
That would be really nice!! Thank you for the great idea!!!!!! and thank u for playing the game <3
lmao got overwhelmed by the notifications and they're not even mine... this game is too real xD
very creative concept and i liked the little story in the whatsapp chat
thank u so much!! >w< i loved ur game toooo <3
This is my day to day life experience way too much, I loved every moment of this. I got a lot of good laughs when going through the shorts you made for this
ahhh some of them i recorded myself so i was really shy to post it hahah
but thank u for your kind comment and i loved ur game too!!
Don't be shy about it!
Honestly I was a little sad when I had ran out shorts to see (I even showed it to my brother). Easily one of my top picks from the ~105 I've rated this jam
me every morning instead of getting up to do my work
me toooooooooooo
I love ur game btw!!!!!!
Geez why you gotta call us all out
hahah literally me right now
This game reminds me it was a good solution for me to never install TikTok.
(even though Youtube shorts gets me doomscrolling sometimes...........)
Really cute and cool game !
hahah yes I don't do TikTok but instagram reels and youtube shorts are hard to avoid.. TT
thank u so much for playing <3
Loved the group text distractions at the top and the meta GMTK mentions, haahaaaa relatable! I wish you could interact with the group chat but understand that wasn't within the scope of the game. The cat-themed reels were silly, but I expected them to change from day to day as you move through the game loop. Very fun take on the theme!
i love all ur feedbacks! Thank u so much and yes I would improve the logic if i had more time ><
but thank u so so much for playing and I will check out ur game too!!
