Being a SDE it feels like a daily work routine.. :)

Developer

I feel ya 😅 but making it was kinda therapeutic. Thank you for playing <3<3<3

The game concept is cute and aligns well with the project hopping theme! It was fun to try to delegate all the kitties. I’m sure I’d be better at it if my brain was good at mental math lol

Developer

Hahah, I was watching one of my friends play it irl and she started mumbling number under her nose and I realized mental math was actually important here 😄😄 wait until it gets more complicated..👀 Thank you for playing<3<3<3

It felt very therapeutic! My first play-through I only had 3 cats for some reason. When i restarted, I was able to place 5! I noticed if I just keep spamming [TAB] I could search for a project with longer times to work 

I can see this game going in a lot of different directions and becoming super satisfying when you get a really good system going!

thank you for playing, my fellow CatJammer<3<3<3

Yeah, I called that"spam tab to get better project time" a feature, not a bug :D

Great work on the cat workers game and kick ass music. Very peaceful. Feels like it can be extended to a great incremental where you buy more cats and power them up or a even a non-combative RTS of some kind where you slowly extend your cat base and cat army.
Overall, nice work and it fits with the theme well.

<3 Have a great day!

Hmm, seems like a unique idea, but I wasn't able to spawn a cat...

Developer

I have gotten feedback that controls are not well explained, you can only add/remove cats and complete a project when you have the project menu open 😅 Thank you for checking it out anyway <3<3<3

At the beginning I was a little overwhelmed by a full page of manuscript. The key design makes sense and is actually easy to pick up, but in the second half of the game I was mostly just staring at the cats, waiting for them to finish. Maybe you could work on designing a tutorial or multiple levels. Also, the main cat floats above the key tutorial window, which is a bit annoying. Despite all of that, I like the music. It’s a creative way to interpret the theme as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing<3<3<3 And thank you very much for the feedback! I agree on all of your points, I plan on doing improvements to this game after a short break
