Came back to rate this one now that voting is open, and it's still my favorite of your three! One button, zero remorse, and pure 3 a.m. cat chaos. It makes me laugh every time. Thanks too for playing and rating AI WORMS, it's been a real pleasure trading games with you this jam. Good luck!

A fun little cat game. The owner spent the whole night waking up, turning on the lights, and spraying the cat, so hearing “Was that you?” in the morning actually made me laugh.

You have a real knack for games that are simple and just click. (Also, cats are love.)

So fun! Hold to push, release to stop — got it in seconds, and the "CAUGHT!" screen made me laugh. Instantly wanted another round.

this was so much fun, really great

Played the update, same disclosure as last time: a script held the mouse and let go on the tell. The fake stirs are the right fix - last time my note was 44 pushes and never once caught, so the tension was greed, not risk. Two runs this time. Run A let go at every single tell: $1,941, 12 items, 21 releases, 4 of them on fakes. Run B only let go on the real ones (my bot cheated and read your fake flag, so that's a ceiling, not a human score): $2,215, 19 items, 15 streak. So reading the tell is worth about 14% money and 7 extra items - that gap is the new skill, and it's a good one. Still 0 catches and 3 lives left in both runs, so the punishment side is still soft on the first two minutes. Also noticed setBot in there now - nice.

Heads up first: a script played this, not my hands - it holds the mouse and lets go when the stir warning shows. Two runs. Run 1: $1,543, 16 items, 0 catches. Run 2, with a deliberate 250 ms delay added after the warning to fake human reflexes: $1,819, 28 items, still 0 catches, all 3 lives. 44 pushes total, never once caught.

The warning windows I logged, shortest to longest: snap 0.21-0.29s, quick 0.36-0.50s, quiet 0.52-0.67s, normal 0.57-0.84s, drowsy 0.96-1.17s. Nice spread - the sleeper types really do feel different.

The one thing I'd look at: once you decide to always release on the tell, nothing punishes you, even a quarter second late. So the tension is self-imposed greed rather than risk, and the score ends up measuring how long you sit there. The SNEAKY bonus is already the right lever - if a last-second release paid a lot more, or a fake stir cost you something, the safe play would stop being the best play.

Everything else is lovely. The junk pile growing on the floor, the cucumber, the Nine Laps poster on the wall - the art sells the whole bit.
