How does your game fit the restriction?
For the theme I created a CAT ROBOT that is a home appliance used to scratch the environment. For the restriction I made sure to use one botton control that you hold and drag that moves the cat robot to fit in the restriction.

Really cute, and very satisfying to scratch the furniture away, I love the music and the movement of the arm and robot, it is really snappy, plus the movement of the furniture, and the different surface sounds, and the cute expressions, aww <3 And I also love the owners manual and the settings, wow! It's top notch! Well done!

I couldnt find a way to get back to the intro sequence, I accidentally skipped it part way in and wanted to watch it again.... I used a private browsing session and watched it again, super cute and great personality, I love it! :)

Had a blast with this one, i would have gone fruit ninja on this rather than this one arm bandit robo cat lol but very fun and well put game

Developer

Thank you for playing!  I am going to add some more arm attachments, like a chainsaw and skill saw arm, to add to the furniture destruction!

The game was simple yet satisfying with the particles and animations.  Here is my playthrough:

This is the first time I have had one of my little games played on a YouTube video and honestly it feel so awesome! SO COOL! Thank you so much for hosting the game jam and putting together playthrough videos on each of the games. It means a lot to have that kind of feedback.

My type of game. Subtly narrative and weird. Great concept. Great visuals. Great sound design. Good mechanics, good feel. However I played 10 rounds expecting some kind of narrative payoff: I was looking forward to the environments changing, or objects changing as a narrative story would be told. I was also expecting at some point in my upgrades that I would get like a blackhole hand that just sucked up the whole environment lol I think it's a very strong concept, it just needs to be pushed that much more, cause otherwise it's only fun for 1 round. 

Developer

I really appreciate the feedback and your ideas are spot on.   I have added more arm attachments, like skill saw arm, chainsaw arm, and a void hand attachment for the late game that allows you to fight the void for a better ending.  I am going to push this build further, work on the background storytelling, arm attachments and alternate endings. Thank you again, I would love to hear more feedback on my future builds when you have the time,  on any of my games!

this was absolutely hilarious. And it's very satisfying as well.

Nice surprise also with the addition of upgrades! I didn't think that was going to be in, but its great for replay-ability!

I am so happy you enjoyed the game!

I love it! I like the concept and how you implemented it. Plus the last level is quite enjoyable though you should put a disclaimer for CATS not to try this at home!
