Couple of simple mechanics combined to make an addicting take on the theme.
Simple to play and replayable. Additional points for making the assets yourself!
Splendid submission
Thank you and much appreciated!
Great take on the theme!
Looking at my poor motor skills, I felt rushed as the anxiety bar kept filling up!! Lol!
The cats are cute and the expression on lady's face are ... anxious!
And when the meter is full she just spins! Loved it! Lol!
Thank you and I'm glad to hear you liked it! ☺️
The game feels like it has just the right balance of visuals to make it appealing, but not too much to distract from game play. At first I thought the player moved too fast, but once getting used to the controls I realized the speed was necessary in order to obtain cats before the anxiety meter reached it's maximum.
Thank you! I did quite a bit of tweaking to try and make it reasonable with the anxiety meter, but not overclock it too much.
That rush to find the last cat in a wave of spawns gives me anxiety!
Hoarding cats tends to do that to some people 😂
this is a really fun highscore-game. On my first attempt I got 27 cats and on my second only 13. So it is highly dependent on rng luck, where and how many red chocolates spawn. On my second attempt there were only purple chocolates and the anxiety-meter's speed increases very quickly with those. So it is a fun little challenge. On my final attempt I got to 30 cats. The music is nice but it doesn't loop. By the time you get your 20th cat you are playing in silence.
I'm glad to hear you liked playing it! Looks like that music loop issue is on the web version of it, since I hear it playing as expected on the downloadable version. I'll check that out after the voting to see what the issue is, and thanks for the heads up! ☺️
The controls took me by surprise! Once I got used to them it was an entertaining experience :) I like the animation on the main character and of course I like eating chocolate
Thank you for the kind words!The character sprite is a bit old when I made it, but held up well for this I think ☺️ I second the eating chocolate as well!
I like this game. It has a retro feel. It took a while to get used to the twitchy controls and the speed boost chocolate actually makes things harder XD. Overall very well made with excellent mechanics that implement the theme well.
I'm glad you liked it and thank you!
I like the cats and chocolate, managed to collect 21 of them, but I see no point in collecting them because there is no end to anxiety (or is there?)😅
Credits and how to play has overlapping texts that can't be read.
Its meant to be a "go as long as possible" type of game, so other than avoiding a freakout, you're right in that sense 😅
Thanks for the heads up on the credits/how to play screen too! I'll get the view port readjusted so its readable.
