How does your game fit the theme?
Yes, the game perfectly aligns with the theme. It will feature two distinct phases: a calm period and a storm phase.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we wrote all the code ourselves. We created some of the game's assets, while others were purchased from itch.io.

very nice game! I really like the graphics!
very nice game! the cat was adorable but the dumb lil goof just decided to peace out and jump off a stack of fridges and die. whatever tho, i loved the game. nicely done! :D
This is such a cute, fun game! Even if my cat keeps getting wet, it is really fun!
Decent physics-based stacking game. Game was too difficult though; the tutorial didn't explain how to move the cat up (you had to drag him...for some reason). Also the storm phase was WAY too difficult; my cat died on the 2nd storm phase.
Funny idea, great art and fits the theme well.
It's seems way too hard though, even when I had some sort of tower the cat would just jump off, wind might destroy it completely, etc etc. Maybe have it start a bit more chill and be less random overall could make it more enjoyable.
In terms of the package itself, it’s a very consistent game. Amazingly adorable graphics, an incredibly adorable main character, and a game that on its cover is just engaging in a way that it sells itself.
but
The physics. The balancing. It’s, indeed, challenging like a cat avoiding water. It takes an unbelievably gigantic amount of effort to coordinate yourself to make it out of the first wave alive. It’s the weightlessness of some objects, it’s the lack of friction; some objects behaved like they were on space.
I did try several times because I was digging the vibe a lot… but then it turned into just frustration. But it’s just a matter of tweaking values, playtesting, rinse and repeat, and there you go. Issue solved.
You have huge engagement potential, huuuge gameplay potential, it’s just behind some values for the rigid bodies and the gravity value.
The strategy of using a cat is genius. Genius marketing.
The art is very nice, and I like the concept. but I think the physics are a little unbalanced, and it is too complicated to advance in the game. I think that with a little more work on the mechanics and physics there could be a very good result. Still, it is a good job, with a very nice artistic part. :D
a nice take on the theme! Love the sound and visuals!
Really interesting concept! I like that the cat moves on its own, making it harder to build around it, and then also having to build upwards from the flood. The wind was a good mechanic too.
Nicely done :)
Impressive game, I really like your take on the theme. I think it could start a little easier, it is often hard to deal with the wind with so few items.
Good graphics, sfx, and idea. The gameplay is really challenging and fun. The only thing that is kind of annoying is when the cat jumps of my tower. Really nice game nonetheless!
I liked the concept! but the cat keep jumping off the boat XD. Cute little game great job!
Really cool concept! The cat was hard to keep dry! haha!
Very nice graphics, good sfx, the physics were really frustrating, I'm not sure when or why my objects sometimes seem to break? Also the pacing is probably a little bit too fast ;_; poor kat...

The game is just too random
There's just no time to plan between the storms. the objects are random and they drop randomly meaning they can knock down your structure. The storm seems completely random as well, the direction of wind, and the debris. The cat is also random. Even the physics, and how putting two objects together. There are just too many things beyond the player's control making it super difficult to do anything about it. It's a good idea but the execution could use a lot of work
The graphics is great! The mechanics is fun as well. I love cat so much!!! I hope no cat is being hurted while making this game XD
Nice game, very oldschool feel, good job!
Really cool game! Love the vibe and graphics and music are incredible! Loved it! This game was awesome. However I do have some feedback. The physics are a bit too chaotic and the grabbing was a bit janky. Also the bg kind of was misleading as to what was bg and what was draggable object. I wish the physics were easier and the storms came less often. Also the cat was wildly unpredictable as it would jump off and be really annoying. Overall amazing game tho :D
Very cute game
