I liked the UI design that you have! It looks really nice! Also, I think there's a glitch in the score system? Because after I retry the game, the score gets carried over from the previous session, and when I lose the game again, it says that I have 500 points when I don't.

Yeah I fixed the score system like 30 seconds after the jam submission Time limit... best IRL experience of "count down" theme  so far ห†ห†

I will post the updated builds after the reviewing period is over.

The game is interesting, but the blur is distracting, and the game needs optimization.

Developer (1 edit)

Optimization as in GPU performance or in game/level design ?

Submitted

GPU

Developer

Not a lot of time for that during a game jam, unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜…

Are you noticing bad performance on the Windows build, the WebGL build or both?

Developer

I added an option to disable motion blur, and reworked heavily on optimization, so performace it way better now.
Unfortunately we can't update the builds until the end of the reviewing period ๐Ÿ˜…

Cool game! The environment is very nicely done: the graphics look nice and the interaction with objects (like breaking flowerpots) is a nice touch that add to the cattiness of the game :-)

I found the controls a bit too sensitive, tough. Quite difficult for me to get the jumps just right!

Developer

I improved the jump mechanics, I will update the build once the reviewing period is over.

I can finally be a cat, and eat cat food without feeling ashamed, my life is fulfilled

Nice graphics, very impressive. At first the motion blur was too much, but if you think about running around as a cat really fast, it's pretty funny. Also the controls section is missing the button for jump.

Developer

I added the missing control on the page, thank you for reporting it ๐Ÿ™‚ 

Submitted

not enough motion blur

Developer

I added an option to remove it in the settings... unfortunately we have to wait the end of the reviewing period to update the builds ^^

CATS! I like how polished it is for a game jam. I think the narrative/goal could have been portrayed better, and the audio was very loud in some parts.
