I love the extra multitasking tasks that you have to do while counting down!
Thanks! :D
it 'd be funny for a final level to be like 10 cat paws and you would have to frantically pull each paw away! :D
Ahah that would have been a great idea! XD thanks for playing!
Simple but smart concept. One of my favorites so far. Wish there would be a option to adjust volume. I like the progression; when the paws were introduced, i thought that will be a busy expirience in a few levels, but then i realized that you can hold the paw at the edge and focus on the timer. Just played one level where a second paw spawned (maybe it get more difficult in later levels). Anyways enjoyed the experience!
Thanks! Yes definitely want to add some settings in the next version for sure. I didn't think about holding the paw until near the end of the jam XD It fixes with multiple paws but maybe I should add something to prevent it!
Thanks a lot for playing, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! :D
I think it is not a game breaking bug, and more paws would add a bit more spice than preventing the hold. Just my opinion ^^
Oooo this was interesting. You piled on the mechanics in ways that kept you on your toes. My strategy of tapping the table quickly did not work one you had to start swatting paws away. This is how you make a simple idea into a fun game. My brain feels warmed up now haha
I'm really glad you liked it, thanks for such wonderful feedback! :D
I love the mini games , great work
Please rate my game Flip it
Thanks a lot! Will do :)
Really clever use of the theme, love the concept and simplicity of the idea. Nice variety in the timing and mini games, I actually think this could help people learn to count odd time signatures in music! Overall a really nicely scoped project, and executed fantastically. Great work!
Thanks a lot! And definitely, I want to have a think about whether or not I can make a minigame based on strong and weak beats (e.g. a waltz) as opposed to just swing rhythm so I'll see what I can do!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
i don't know why , but it's so satifsying holding the cat until the correct time and releasing it so the cat is the one who presses the button 🤣🤣Really nice game!
Ahah I've heard that a lot! I'm definitely adding that as a level mechanic in future ;) Thanks a lot for playing! :D
Are the rocket cats okay? 😭😭😭
(Great game btw)
Porridge and Oatmeal are fine, they did both lose one of their nine lives though :(
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cute and Simple! Everything combined makes this game feels very polished
Thanks a lot! I really enjoyed your game as well :D
Great style. Holding the cat leg at bay while counting felt very relatable... even if I never had a cat.
Ahah thanks a lot! XD
Has cats in it. Instant 10/10. Love the way you made such a creative idea around pressing a button on the right time. MoeLow's idea is really good. I tried to click a button through a paw, it is difficult to perform well. Great entry!
Ahah thanks a lot! :D And I totally agree, it'll be a good puzzle idea where you have to rely on your instincts about how fast the paw moves, which I think will be a really fun twist. We are definitely going to add a bunch more content after the Jam's over. Thanks!
very well polished game, juggling keeping up with the time and pushing away the hands were fun
an idea i would like to see a level where you need to set a paw a distance away from the button and time it to arrive to hit the button at the right time
Thanks so much for playing! :D
And that's a fantastic idea, at the moment the cat paws can accidentally hit the button at the right time which I like, but making that the mechanic would be really fun! I'll definitely make a note to add that in!
I really liked this game, I was kinda the goat. It seems like the last level repeats after you beat it for the first time, but i was enjoying the game enough that I didnt notice until I beat the same level 4 times. Great submission
Yeah it does unfortunately, I should have made it clearer when the end is... But that's great, thanks a lot for playing and I'm really glad you liked it! :D
Super fun idea. I assumed the cat hands would be the only gimmick, so the homework caught me by surprise and I had to laugh. Great work!
Ahah thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
I love the idea and the overall mood. It's so chill and vibey, and the art style is super clean.
Oh, another timer stopping game :D
We had a few ideas in common :P
Nice polish.
For the last few levels, I used scrolling to count. Was that intended ? (Approximately 2,5 squares)
Oh awesome! I'll definitely check it out, we have so many more ideas we want to add so it'll be interesting to see if you also went with any of those XD
Thanks a lot! And absolutely not, but that's really clever! Like the square background? I didn't even think about it but it probably does line up. Clever spot, definitely going to investigate! Thanks for playing :D
Absolutely beautiful. Loved the mood. The music and the art, so good. Couldn't stop from dancing as I was counting down each time. Great game good job!
Thanks so much, that means a lot! :D I really enjoyed your game as well
really neat idea , I was waiting the whole time to see the rocket come back
Ahah I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for playing :D
Loved it! Lovely art, nice music, fun take on the topic. I was surprised how well I did, even on the levels with maths or the jazzy ones, because it’s definitely not an easy one :D
Thanks a lot!! Yeah the maths was especially challenging I think ;) i'm really glad you enjoyed it! :D
now this is the impossible timing (Geometry dash joke 🙃)
Soo Good Game Bro
XD Thanks a lot! :D
