Great idea! At first, it reminded me a little of Don't Starve xD. I really enjoyed the mechanics of creating clones and putting them to work! Plenty of room for further expansion
And applause for the visual tutorial in the game, which helped a lot in understanding the controls. Cinema visuals 😄 Good job!

I love how this looks! The specks of colour make give the game so much personality. Through the floor, there's some kind of water.. looks great!
I like how the tutorial interacts with the player like a todo list. Great presentation. Though I still needed to reference the game page about specifically what Q and E did.
The gameplay itself was fun and rewarding, since looking through the stations, I knew I was working toward the space ship. Naturally Cat Cloones are bigger than this world.
Great entry.
Unexpectedly complex and difficult to pick up game, but the presentation is so stunning that I wanted to make the effort to engage with the mechanics just to continue to immerse myself in the game world. And it's a good deal I did, because this game is incredibly fun! There's a lot of thought to be put into it, and a lot of really interesting mechanics that the player messes with here. And clarity aside, the way the tutorial was visually presented was brilliant, I think if there was an optional text pop-up to explain things more thoroughly with maybe a gif in game to aid that, it would've been a pretty perfect interactive on boarding process. Really great work!
Good thing I read the game page so I could figure out the controls haha, once I did I had a blast! Really good concept and I absolutely loved the art and sound design. Amazing work!
Very nice straightforward factory builder. I'm glad there was an easy end condition to identify. It was really satisfying to sit back and watch all my cats do the work once everything was set up. Nicely done!
This is one of my favorites so far! Was a bit difficult to wrap my head around the controls and the tutorial was pretty unclear, but the game page made things clear. Great game!
Really cool concept (I love that the little clones each have a name) - I also love the artstyle with all my heart!
My only issue was that - at first, it was quite hard to remember which control to press - I wold have loved to have an indication over the characters head ( but with a bit of effort I did manage). I sometimes had issues collecting the crafted resources also.
Was a bit hard to understand at first but great concept. Especially love the art

Whoaaa this game is so cool, the record yourself doing action is super creative and makes me feel super efficient. The art style is als really cool, I like the pixel 2.5d look. Awesome job!
