A short one, but it was fun. I  really like the graphics and animations. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

Submitted

cute kitty. I like the animations, but it was a little hard to select the interactables sometimes.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm sorry about that, that has to do on my end on the way I uploaded the resolution of the game.

Submitted

Cute graphics, short game, fitting theme, cause sheesh, that was a depressing ending. Actually made me regret finding all the interactables.

Developer

Haha, thank you so much! :D

Cute art, and a good concept to fit the theme. Would've been nice to have more stuff to do, like a Freddi Fish game, but nice job either way!

Developer(+1)

OHH MY GOODD I LOOVVEEDDD Freddi Fish when I was younger! You just brought back so many great memories! XD Thank you so much, I agree that there could have been more things to do but the animation is what took the majority of my time.

Yea those games were great, but I was more of a Pajama Sam fan myself lol

Developer (1 edit)

yes, me too!! I feel like that game is what got me into gaming xD as well as Starfox Adventures

Submitted

Amazing art and nice concept! :D

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

This was very cute, despite the sad little ending there at the end. Would adopt this cat if they were real.

Developer

Thank you so much, I would too! :')

cute cat! i hope you had a lot of fun making your game :) 

Developer

Thank you so much! Once I got past drawing all the animations I did XD

Submitted(+1)

I liked the adorable cat and the music was nice to listen to. Good job. :)

Developer

Thank you so much, the cat likes you too! :D

Submitted

YAY! I'm glad the cat likes me! :)

YAY! I'm glad the cat likes me! :)

It seems I had a similar experience as others where I wasn’t sure why I won when I did. Otherwise it was a fun experience and loved the art! I’m a sucker for a cute cat in a game. Great job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much! If your mouse clicked on outside an object then it must have been due to the resolution I set my game to, I apologize for that! I can't wait to play your game just from the title alone XD I also just realized your name and profile pic, lol!

Submitted(+1)

A little bit confusing to know where to click, but a really interesting and beautiful experience :)

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm sorry about that, it did have to do with the resolution I uploaded the game to but another commenter figured out what my problem was! :D

Submitted(+1)

More of an interactive experience than a game, but I like the idea! Cute cat :)

Developer

Thank you so much! That is true. I guess I got the idea from visual novels but I'll try to implement puzzles like another commenter said onto my next game!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice graphics and music/sound. As soon as I saw the cat I had to try it out.
Would have loved some kind of puzzle or anything. Not sure if I missed something.

Anyway, congrats on the art and music!

Developer

Thank you so much! As long as you interacted with all the objects you're good! A puzzle does seem like a better idea, I'll try to implement that on my next game. It's hard for me to think of storylines in general so putting a short time limit on that skewed my vision on what puzzles to implement xD

Fullscreen mode doesn't work, you probably need to allow it from the itchio publish page.

I believe tha main issue you have is with the screen resolution, so if you allow the fullscreen mode or just change the overall resolution for your game from the itchio page it should work. 

A shame because the art looks really cute.

Developer

Ooh I know I've been having problems with the resolution but I didn't know how to solve it, thank you so much for that!

Submitted(+1)

Really cute art and soundtrack!

After that cat collapsed the walls the game ends :( Is there anything more I missed?

Developer

Thank you so much! If you interacted with all the 6 objects in the home (including the mouse hole) you got everything! :D

Submitted

The art looks great but I didn't understand what I did to win. I just clicked around and it worked.

Developer

Thank you so much! I believe that the buttons aren't on top of the objects when the game isn't played in full screen. I'm sorry about that, still learning about the right dimension with itch!

Submitted(+1)

Love the art. Despite the game is less than a minute to play it made me feel a bit sad for the cat

Developer

Thank you so much! Me too, I like to think he found his forever home living his dream!

Submitted(+1)

So soothing! The ambience is really great and the optimism of this cat was the best way to start my morning! I love the beauty in just being able to interact with these objects as this happy cat and I thought the pixelization for the kitty litter was a nice humorous touch! Then I was shook when I learned it wasn't real! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm glad this game could bring happiness even for a little! :D I got the inspiration for the litter pixel from the Sims xD

Submitted(+1)

Hahah yess! The Sims knows what's up! Yeah it definitely brought happiness for sure! Awesome work (:

Submitted

Gme doesn t work for me - to bad I like the visuals

Developer

I'm sorry to hear that! The loading bar for you doesn't load all the way?

Submitted

Pleasing BGM with pretty sprites. Only downside is somehow the collider for the objects are not on the objects themselves but outside of the cardboard wall

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm sorry about that, I think it has to do with the resolution I placed the game in but it works in full screen!
