How does the game fit the theme?
I Beg for Dry is a game where nothing should go wrong, but unfortunately, it absolutely does. It is based on our own adventure with our chronically ill cat, who has IBD (inflammatory bowel disease). Things should be simple enough. Just don't feed him anything he shouldn't have! What could go wrong? Well, a lot of things when you've got a mischievous and stubborn baby.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None - all assets are hand-drawn as well as music/sounds recorded and composed

I love the art style it's so cute and funny. The Gameplay is also great! It's missing a little music in my opinion but other than that Great Job ! I got a high score of 179 :)
I absolutely adored this. The cats were super cute and the style was extremely pleasant.
Poor Cocktail, just wants to eat food that he can't have. Very cute game! Reminds me of my own food obsessed cat :P
Good game! Love the visuals and the gameplay is simple yet decent. It was very funny to continuously stop Cocktail from eating food, although one thing that could be a fun change to the gameplay is if you had to actually drag him away with a drag click, where Cocktail would be picked up by your mouse cursor and he'd struggle to get out. Maybe other cats could eat and become full and you'd have to drag them away too before they overate, and then they'd be pacified and walk around before becoming hungry again and repeating? The sfx were good and overall vibe was nice.
Good work!
Really liked the visuals and I also loved to see the Cocktail picture on the comments here hahaha
The hand drawn assets were great! That cat was too fast for me XD
That was one fast kitten.
Cute kitties! Poor little fella!
Great art style and music, well done !
Thank you!
The music is fantastic. I liked the art as well. I wish there had been something more interesting to do than just clicking on the cat. Also the other cats just sort of appeared and disappeared at random which seemed strange.
Thanks a lot for your review! The other cats go to the bowl, eat, and then restart, every 30 seconds the number of other cats increases. We can try to make this behavior a bit clearer. The whole game was developed (all assets made from scratch included), in less than 24hrs, so we do hope to add more to it! If you have any ideas you'd like to see, let us know.
He reminds me of this guy.
OMG yes he looks soooooo much like our boi!!! This is cocktail!
Gorgeous
This has a very unique style, and was cute to play through! If there was more to this game, I think it'd be quite awesome!
Thank you so much! We do plan on adding more to the game :) the whole game was developed in less than 24hrs, including all its elements (art, music, code, even the recordings of the cat sounds hahaha). We hope to have more time to develop it further soon. And if you have any ideas you'd like to see implemented, let us know!
Great cat game. I don't like how you need to press the cat a little bit before the cat gets close to the food, because the cat teleport has a delay.
Thanks a lot for feedback and lovely to hear that you enjoyed the game. We'll try to fix the bowl touch mechanic.
absolutely love how the eyes follow the mouse that's so cool, I wish there was more to the game tho!
So glad you like the eyes! That was a last minute addition haha. The whole game was developed in less than 24hrs (including all the elements which are all made from scratch). We do plan on adding more elements to the game though! Thanks for your review.
I was gonna say as well that I love the fact it’s based off a real life story too, adds so much charm
Thank you! Unironically, the game is quite literally our everyday life, at every meal. Sometimes we put him in another room but then he scratches at the door and damages it, so most of the time he's roaming free and behaving like in the game :')
Fun game! It felt a little unfair that the bowl was moved slight to the upper left so the cat could get to the food quicker on those sides. However the visuals and audio was amazing! Great work!
Thanks a lot! We fixed the bowl position in the current version and made it playable in HTML :)
