You can pet (fix) the cat. 10/10
Clever gameplay, nice atmosphere, and quite fun! I found the usage of the mouse wheel for turning the valve very intuitive, awesome job with the controls + wildcard there. That purr SFX is so soothing too haha.
Great job :)
There are many pans on the fire so to speak, it was good fun! and I do love me a warrior kitty fighting rats haha great work!
A fun chaos management game, how to keep the bar from draining could have been explained a little better but otherwise well done.
Yeah, after watching some of my friends play the game, I realized just how much this really needed more explanation than what I wrote down 😅
Love the sausage-like cat 😶🌫️
Ah, yes, definitely an intentional design choice and not the natural consequence of me leaving asset integration until the last 24 hours 😂😭
Everything ran smoothly, quite a simple game but managing the chaos was satisfying! Well done!
Thank you for playing!
Hi !
I like the idea and the gameplay is fun :) I had fun trying to balance the valves and chase the rats and managed to survive about 3 mins after a few attempts ><
The 3D visuals work well and controls are very smooth, and the cat's mewing is cute and funny.
Glad you enjoyed the game! And congrats on making it to 3 minutes - pretty sure my playtest attempts capped out around 2 minutes
Hahahah ok that's reassuring ! I'm not that bad after all ><
I thought this was a cool concept. I did get confused the first playthrough because I didn't know why I was dying but I read your comments and survived for a few minutes after that. Very cool!
Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I clearly need to do a better job explaining mechanics going forward!
