  • GDD Great GDD, lots and lots of details and ideas. I especially appreciated the recipes planned to be added since the game unlocks slowly, and we have limited time; it gave us an idea of the planned scope of the game. Gameplay Look, I might not be German, but I love me some Factorio. I lost count of how many production games I have and play on the regular, so this was right in my corner. The one issue I had was on scaling production. Since the cats don't add more mats to the storage after the goal is done, I had lots of flats but could not make more transformers. This slowed down my production, and I slipped into UNACCEPTABLE PRODUCTION PARAMETERS. The factory must grow; the line must go up. Also, I always play the first run blind, and I confused the transformer as something to transfer power to the miners and got stuck there. That was funny. Art design Lovely little cat bots, toiling away in the factories, transporting recycled cat cans to conquer the world. It was very charming. Too bad the most unrealistic thing was the cat doing what you tell them to. Sound design A really chill jam looping the entire playthrough; maybe a bit loud, but very enjoyable. Little thoughts Your cat is not stinky; you are just smelling wrong.

It's a factory game. With cats. Cans of cat food? How bout a boat!

You only have ONE resource! Cans of cat food. How are you going to get out of the middle of the ocean with very convenient islands everywhere????

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
idk. Raylibs cool man. Have fun. Controls are a bit wonky so give it some time to get used to!

I had some trouble getting my port up and running, but my strips and flats were in great shape. The relaxing music was nice.

I played for a little bit up to where you make nails and rings, then it hardlock crashed :( And I was finally figuring it out too rather than hopelessly pressing buttons until it worked.

Oh no! I'm so sorry that happened. I wish I had logs to see what was going on. Thanks for giving it a shot anyway!
