In what way does your game fit the theme?
The cat has to spread the chaos by the orders of it's absolutely chaotic godess.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.
The font is Kenney Pixel, otherwise everything (code, music, assets), I think, was done by members of the team.

cute game, graphics are really nice and the audio is really nice, the platforming itself could be a little refined, but it was really fun

Nice cat game, glad to see more of those. It was hard doing the controls since they mapped diagonally, and I wasn't sure if I was scaring the human correctly, since I kept trying to sneak up on him or figure out what I was supposed to do to scare him. Tipping over the things off the table filled the scare meter, and got the cat god to say "good job", but then I'd repeat the same level over and over...

Developer

Yeah, the level change came in the last minutes and it is bugged that way - there is only 2 levels, and the game never ends, it repeats the last level.

I really like the pixel art and backstory for the game. I dont know if I kept messing something up when I was only getting "scare the human" again and again. Also appreciate the effort to try a different perspective for the game, I know this one is definitely not an easy one to work with.

Truly amazing. Cute and funny game. Personally, I didn't have problems with the controls, but I did have problems with the hitboxes, despite that this was super fun to play and it has a very interesting idea behind.

Great game, I did find a dissonance between the keyboard keys and the direction the cat was moving. But, it was really nice to look at, with a well thought out context, and a great variety of levels.
Great stuff, I would love to hear what you think of my entry.

It's a cat game, I had to play it! Fun and fits the theme. Anyone who's ever had a cat should know this is actually pretty close to how they can be!

I love the music and sound effects!

The controls were really wonky and I had no idea what to do at times

Cool concept! It's a lot of fun that we're agents for Sekhmet, haha. Cool page design, nice graphics. But I had a lot of difficulty controlling the movement, and this greatly reduced the enjoyment of the game.

Heyo ~

The "Press M To Meow" button is absolutely critical and adds at least 10 stars to my rating lol. I really liked the vibe, I thought that the concept and the presentation was really unique and creative!

This has been said before but I found the controls to be more frustrating rather than challenging. There were also a couple hitbox issues, I was able to walk outside of the world in a couple places and it wasn't really too clear what the scare radius of the human was.

That said, I adored the music with the interlaid meows and am in love with your theme. I had a lot of fun playing this one :)

Developer

Thanks for expanded reply. Unfortunately we could not finish and polish the game. But hey, we learned something on the way.

Nice. Love the art.

It looks like a very cool game! But the controls were confusing and so was the objective? Was I meant to push all the objects? But the graphics were cool and so was the music. I also liked the cutscene at the start

Submitted(+1)

very nice game, I wasn't quite sure how to scare the human when I'm out of objects on the table. The controls make it also quite hard to intentionally hit stuff.

Very nice graphics and audio! Also, a very well take on the theme. More level would be nice. Great Game!

Submitted(+1)

Neat game and original take on the theme! though for me level 1 kept looping. But really good game nonetheless! Well done!

Submitted(+1)

so nice, and a cat causing havoc, fits very well in this theme, man loved the graphics, movement controls can be accommodated because of the isometric view but nothing that ruins immersion


overall good game man thanks for the entry jam man hope you had fun

Are controls inverted intentionally? I love your pixel art style!


Looks like there are many CATastrophe games! xD

Check our CATastrophe too!  https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1177530

edit : controls were inverted when I first enter the game but it is fixed next time.

Developer

Yes, the controls are like that intentionally. The game may have been tile-based, so they had to align with tile directions.
