Cool little game, I like it!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I like the mechanic of left&right paw, it feels like multi tasking for me. Sometimes you need to grab cheese to grab those rats. Nice game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! That was the idea, it came kind of accidentally but I lean on it because it felt fun to me

The end screen is so funny! It’s a really fun little game. I was a little bad at it, so I’m definitely not employee of the meowth. Those rats move quite fast...

As a cat lover, I approve of this game :)

Thanks for playing! 

Theres another end screen if u get to 20 cheese, just sayin... :)

Submitted

Gotta give it another try then 😈!!!

Btw if u haven't played, would u mind playing our game? :P

Omfg.... I DID IT

I went through a lot of mental pain but managed to do it 😈

Good job on the highscore! I played it and gave a review, its an awesome game!

Submitted

fun game! fairly difficult i must say once you first start, it was very fun to play tho and i like the art done!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words!

Submitted

This game is absolute cinema. The difficulty curve could use some work, as the cheese blocks the cat from catching the mouse. Other than that, great game, good job!


if you have some time, it would be awesome if you could try out my game :D

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, the difficulty was a struggle, since I wanted to have those moments when the aw goes in between 2 cheese and catches amouse and its awesome, but having that often times made situations like u said hapen. Once you play more you may realise that sometimes its ok to catch cheese so you can catch a mouse and not lose a life later.

Im gonna go play your game!

Submitted

It was a genuinely fun and challenging game. I'll definitely be coming back to beat my high score!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! My highest score was 38 if I remember correctly !

Submitted

Its quite fun,unlike the others I did nt really find it hard,its js that the retraction speed is slow but overall good game

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Once you get the timing it should get easier, that was the idea at least :P

Submitted

Pretty addicting and very hard, also at what point do you get employee of the meowth? I feel like 16 cheese is pretty good.

Developer

Thanks for playing! 20 cheese is the minimum, ur almost there!

Submitted

I just got 3 cheese. The time needed to retract the paws is quite slow compared to the move of the mouse. 

Developer(+1)

The mouse have a range of speed, sometimes they are faster and sometimes slower. And every run is a little bit random, some runs are harder than others, and with the feedback I got it was definitely harder than I intended.

Once you get the hang of the timing of the paws it should get easier though

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Cool game but i think its too difficult but maybe it's only my skill

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The idea was to get to the winning screen in like 3 or 4 times, but I was so used to playing it that maybe it was harder than I intended

Submitted

Played this game before the voting and came back to vote! This is so fun and simple. I couldn't manage to learn how to catch all mice because I might be a little bad at games but the game is so well made. Good job !

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! With the feedback I got it definitely was harded than I intended it to be. My idea was that you should play a couple times to get the timing of the claws, and expected to get to 20 cheese (the minimum amount you need to win) in like 3 or 4 tries.

It was something to learn from for me. I needed more playtesting for sure, since I was so used to playing it that I judged the difficulty wrong

Submitted

Yes that happens to best of us! My game was reported to be too hard multiple times as well so I changed the default difficulty to medium. we need to think the pacing we use as developers is extra hard bcs we've played too much and generated our own strategy but someone who plays it for the first time is not as experienced. 

Submitted

awh man guess i'll have to leave my 43 mice at home. 

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

really fun game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Ill go check yours out

Submitted

I had played this before the jam and really liked it. Tried it again. still can't make employee of the month, but I love the drawn graphics, the goofy music and the sound effect.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I might have made it a little hard, you have to get to 20 cheese. My tip would be sometimes you should catch cheese with your left paw so you can catch the rat with your right paw later.

Im gonna play yours now, wish me luck!

Submitted

got me feeling like tom and jerry

Developer

Thank for playing, glad u liked it!

Im gonna go play yours now!
