Hey, so sorry I didn't get a review up for last month's jam, we were busy working on Eldwyn's Dungeon Academy, so my review never got finalized and posted.
I like the purring SFX when you are using Extra Pets.
In the upgrade screen, when you click on the upgrade button it shows options to buy 1, 5, and 10. I feel like those should just be there to start with, and instead of clicking the upgrade button and then choosing which option to go with.
I played around with the mini-games. They are cute and add to the feel of the game. You'll quickly have enough money to do them as often as you want, which makes them even more nice, in my opinion. I certainly like the ability to purchase many at a time for these. It is nice for the regular upgrades, but the consumables are where I use this the most.
I got a silly screenshot with a ball of cats, all attracted to the laser pointer that I wanted to share.
Related to the laser pointer and the screenshot above, if you rapid fire turn the laser on and off at the same point you can have the same effect as if you were moving the laser pointer around and not letting the cats get it, but without moving the laser pointer. Is this something you want?
I really like the design you have for the cats and upgrades, with the top and bottom bars framing an image. The top and bottom do a great job of giving you place for text that fits the styling.
I got all of my upgrades up to level 15-25, and then let it sit on the side for a while while playing a different jam game. The interactions between the people and the cats help to keep the game interesting even while it is in the background. There is plenty of movement and things happening, which fits the "Chaos Cat Cafe" feel.
I got the upgrades up to level 110-143, and I got a cafe level of a little over 400. My cat customer plays was 833, my cat interactions was 3760, and rising quickly. I got all of the achievements. I earned a total of 1,585,213 income, and I played for 1:41:15.
I do not have any more notes for this release. This is a solid demo. I would love to see the full game when it is released.
