Theme Interpretation
The core loop already fits the theme almost literally. Petting the cat fills its energy meter, so the cat is charging, and then you release that charge into one of two outlets, attacking the rats or feeding the experience bar. Charge, then discharge into a choice. That's already built, nothing needs to change mechanically. There's also a wordplay angle worth using. "Charge" can also mean a dependent, someone entrusted to your care. The cat is literally your charge in that sense too.

I beat hard! And is _was_ hard lol. Love the cats, love the mice. Only thing is the sound effect when hovering over a menu button is awful... Loved the game itself tho! :D
So many cute cats in this game.
Tho I prefer if all cats have some different soft spots that cats very much prefer.
Rats with dialog is also very charming as well.
gonna look for more levels I think.
took me a minute to figure out why the game wasn't moving, turns out I hit free play the first time lol
Really nice! I thought the systems were very clear and I love nothing more than upgrading a multiplier :D The art and sound were great too. Great jam entry, super impressive as a first GWJ entry too!
Fantastic art! Would love to know what program y'all use. We've mostly been using Aseprite for our games but have been looking at Tahoma2D and others to branch out. My son really loved it a lot, and our cat was captivated as well. Good job!
Thanks so much! I love drawing in Aseprite! This time I used Affinity and Photoshop 2020 for the graphics. To animate everything, I used Godot’s AnimationPlayer node.
PS: I played your game too! I think adding the train to the main menu was a super cool idea ^^ It makes the menu feel much more lively!
Your words mean a lot to us! I’m still figuring out my art style, and my husband is just learning Godot, so it’s really nice to hear that you enjoyed the game. ^^
Fun! Love the purr sounds, cat variety, and Waldo mice. Definitely a big jump from easy and normal to hard—may have been especially difficult because I'm using a trackpad.
Oh, is petting the cats easier with a trackpad? Just curious, since we tested the game with a graphic tablet to make sure it worked. 😄
Thanks for playing! ^^
I think it was a bit tougher to do the right click/scroll short cuts (the latter I wasn't able to figure out). I did a lot of darting over to the actual buttons on the right, which was fine, everything worked, but those milliseconds were very precious in hard mode, haha
Nice game, cute and simple. Loved the cat, haven't tried hard mode yet.
The Where’s Wally rat :chef-kiss:. Such an awesome game all round. What more can you say than praise for a game that lets you pet cats 100% of the time? Great submission, great art, great sound and music, great all round. Thanks for submitting so I could get to play it!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! It really means a lot to us! ^^
I like the idea needs more balancing. Hard didn't seem possible but seemed really interesting, liked trying to pick the right upgrade and balancing greed on XP vs killing rats.
Normal was too easy, didn't try easiest difficulty.
Love the little touches of the purrs, the eyes following the mouse and cats having sweetspots. Could be funny to have each cat have a different zones they want petted or not.
Also it seemed the music failed to loop.
Kitty :O
We all love a game where you can pet the cats.
I spent a good amount of time just in the free play section and forgot about your game sorry....
Just kidding or am I no awesome game lol I love cats and the graphics are awesome
Ohhh, thank you so much for the kind words! ^^ It really means a lot to us! ❤️ We’re so glad you enjoyed the cats and the graphics!
PS: still think that Your goat charge is *goat* ^^
thankk youu your cats purring is the real goat <3
