Such a cute game with lots of purrsonality and a fresh take on the theme. I love it! Cats are a very good choice for the level of chaos they introduce and discovering their little personalities is a cute addition. I also love that the game works in mobile as well but I did struggle a little bit and will definitely try it with a mouse too!  Well done!

Very creative take on the theme! Definitely one of my favourite games this jam :3 This is the highest score I managed to get: image.png but I like my second-highest score picture a bit more (mainly because of Orion looking at the camera at the bottom of the frame :D) image.png

Wow, those are really good pics! The highest I ever got was around 750. So glad you enjoyed it!

i played this with my niece and she LOVED getting all the cats, and she is quite hard to please so that's high praise! great work making a unique application of the theme, and bonus points for PICO-8!

purfect game, loved how you can bop the cats. I didnt exactly get the game but the bopping was fun enough. Also how did you pull of the 3D effect in PICO-8?!

Such a creative game, I couldn’t stop booping the cats and was surprised to find out each cat has their own personality!

Little chaotic cat game, so much love to detail here.

Winner of the most adorable take on the theme!

That was such a cute game with a very unique core idea. People like you, who use Pico-8 for jams, always amaze me. Good job!

Cats!

I love how whimsical it is and you managing to get a good 3d feel on a Pico-8 game. Good job!

This was so cute! Made all the better by having to run off in the middle of playing because my cat found something to play with she wasn't supposed to, haha. Very accurate representation of herding cats. I was super impressed by how replayable the game was despite its simplicity - I was absolutely determined to get all the cat descriptions! I did end up running out of patience before I could get to the high score of 700 - but I was very impressed by the complexity of scoring! I did have some trouble reading some of the controls, which might be a PICO-8 problem. I also found the distance between the "pick up" and "boop" keys a bit challenging but that's on me for not plugging in a controller!

Also, my cat would like to let you know she's very offended you consider butthole to be bad for scoring xD

Funnily enough my group thought of a picture game like this but ultimately went a different direction. This theme really works with the cats. I love a pico8 submission. Very well done.

This was chaos and I had a great time. Well done.

Very cute game! I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but loved the concept anyway

You know, I don't have a cat - I have a dog. But I wouldn't mind having a cat too. Maybe this game is the first step toward becoming a cat owner.

I have a cat, I can 100% confirm this is exactly what happens whenever you try to hold your cat still for a photo. 😂 Mine has an even shorter attention span, kick in my face with his paws! 10/10 accurate life experience.

As fun as herding cats 10/10

I enjoyed your game a lot. For one i just love cats so It was just cute to see them walk all around on the screen. I was surprised by the amount of depth to the scoring, this feels like a game that you could spend a long time mastering, like Tetris. Also getting bios for the cats was very rewarding and the drip feeding of tips made a good learning loop. Only thing I would say is that booping the cats is fundamental mechanic but I did not really know about it until late into my play sessions so a more explicate tutorial would be nice.
