I had a bit of a hard time with the looping controls but I still had fun! The artwork was cute and I liked the assortment of meows when you caught the cats. Nice work and the CAT excavator was definitely my favorite 😂

Relaxing little game. The CAT excavator is funny. I think the dogs are a bit too hard to visually differentiate from the brown cats.

All the hand drawn art and crooked buttons are really charming! I feel like the cats might move a little bit too fast, but I might just need to git gud

Really cool idea, I think the UI could be a bit better and I wisht he dogs had something like a red outline to stand out more, but other then that it's a really fun game with great art and even better sound effects

couldnt really tell the dogs and cats apart most of the time, but other than that its a fun game! loved the way the creatures were, and the music was nice!

Uh, CATS🥰
Pretty cool Idea. Sometimes it was hard for me to quickly identify what was running around.
Other than that, i found the vibe, art and audio, very relaxing😊

btw. my top score was 360👀

Thanks for playing our game! Some of the cats do look fairly similar and could do with a little more visual differentiation. We're super glad you liked the vibe, though! Also, congrats on the 360!

A very creative game. I think the CAT cat was my favorite. I had fun. The only thing I struggled with was seeing if I was losing or gaining points. It was sometimes hard to see if there was a - in front of the number

Thank you so much for playing our game! Glad you liked it! There definitely are some UI and polishing tweaks that could be made, and maybe a tutorial. :3
