How does the game fit the theme?
Every scratch is a gamble, keep scratching to earn more biscuits, but one mistimed scratch while the owner is watching and it’s all over.

The idea has a lot of potential! It would be cool to have something dynamic related to the character flipping, like the closer they are to flipping, the more points the scratches would yield (increasing the risk and reward).
A simple but nice idea; however, the visual feedback could be improved and the UI could be made more appealing. With touches like these, this simple concept could have been presented in a much better way !
Thank you for the great ideas!
Nice game
Cute and simple!
Cool! Risky to scratch is a nice catch, but I think at last, the owner is so fast that it becomes a rhythm-based game.
Really enjoy it.
I completely agree! I noticed that is started feeling that way when doing final tweaks but didn't want to risk missing the deadline.
Aha! I was wondering if anyone was going to do cats making biscuits. Well here is my answer. Every cat I've ever owned would have no qualms about staring my straight in the eye as they destroyed my property. At least this little kitty has a shred of shame about them.
Interesting take on the red light / green light game. I think some indication of the girl turning around could improve the gameplay.
Fun twist on the red light/green light playground game!
The game looks pretty good, and the person, cat, and couch sprites are great. The only thing I want to point out is that mixed pixel sizes generally don't mesh well. The window and painting were a bit distracting at first because of it.
Thank you for the feedback! My wife just started her pixel art journey and that's great to know!
Sorry for the couch but it was worth it. Good job on this game it was cute!
This game was so much fun, It may seem like a simple game anyone could beat first try but i Struggled ALOT to get my personal high score, The pixel art was also quite good and well made. The music did feel a little repetitive but for your First ever Gam game this is surprisingly polished compared to most entries. Props to you :D
Rated 10/10
I hope all the best for you both on your game development journey 😁
Thank you so much for your kind words! My wife and I appreciate your feedback!
No problem :D
fun game, simple but challenging, good music and cute art, I really liked it
It's nice and all, but I don't know if the girl turns fast enough that she's supposed to be looking back and detects that I was clicking on her. I would have liked to be more visually rewarded, but good game!
Really cute game and nice work on the art, especially the cat :) Something about his face perfectly depicts mischief.
Nice game, and better still that you both got to work on it together :D. From the small gameplay that was there, all the development choices fitted nicely together! Nice one
Great little game that embodies the theme well! There's some great feedback/ideas here, my two cents would be maybe add a little bit more RNG to the owner turning around. They seem to turn around some what consistently which if you get used to kind of removes the risk. Otherwise, amazing job on this one!!
Owner changes have been the most talked about change from everyone if we continue development we will certainly adjust the owner, thank you for your input!
Simple idea, simple art, simple music AND GREAT and FUN Gameplay Really awesome!
I really like the idea! would be amazing to see this soon as a full game with different scenarios and maps
New levels with different destructible's and rooms around the house is our next goal! Thank you for your input!
A very fun and simple game. Would be fun to put some other animations on the person with the back still turned to fake people out. Like them stretching their arms up or something.
This has been the common theme of top additions, thanks for your input!
Cute game, should've been better if there's indicator just before owner turns to you.
