Let people know how long you've been working on the game
We had the idea some months ago and it took us something between 2 and 3 weeks of spare time for finishing it

Good job! Too hard for me but really nice idea and graphics.
get gud lol it’s cat game
Very nice game!
Strong points are the visuals and overall mood (love the "cat feet" transition).
Well done.
Nice mini-games, although quite punishing with only one life. The retro aesthetic is charming, but the music gets repetitive pretty fast. The game selection screen is super awesome with all these animations to discover.

Fantastic game, incredible aesthetics! Right up my alley. :)
Love the idea of having 3 small games that can be played based on what channel is on before the cat goes to sleep, really liked it with the hard difficulty too.
thanks for your feedback! :)
Can you win any of the games?
I kept dying (on the first two) and it became a little too repetitive to try more than a couple of goes before moving on.
Did look good.
thanks for your feedback! of course you can win all 3 games :)
Very solid game! Visuals are cohesive and pleasant, the color palette is great. I understand that you explained the controls on the game's page, but maybe it might help if you draw the commands on the screen once gameplay has started and hide them once the player has used all of them, just to make things clear and help with the different inputs that are demanded. Keep up with the great work! Cheers!
thanks for your feedback!
good idea regarding controls, thx! what we already have is this question mark button on each game's "main menu" (guess it's not enough though...)
Great game concept! I didn't end up beating any of the games but they were fun and unique to try. The CRTV style was a little hard on the eyes but I liked the commitment to the visuals.
thx for your feedback! :)
you can disable the crt effect: press ESC to open the pause menu and select "options" - there it can be disabled.
we also reduced the effect now by default
I loved the visual effects and that almost everywhere on the screen there was something to click on, it made the game a lot easier to understand.
thanks for playing and your feedback! :)
It's a game that's fun to play and out of the imagination.
But when making a screen to mimic a television screen
and staring for a long time my eyes are blurry
thank you for your feedback!

Fun little game! I enjoyed the main menu and changing the TV to fall asleep to whatever game is on the TV. Very cool area and a good variety of content.
My only feedback is can you add a way to toggle the horizontal lines on the screen on and off. They were seriously starting to hurt my eyes by the time I finished playing. No clue if that's just my screen resolution or what but it did become a slight issue for me.
Overall cool game!

This was a really cute and pretty game! The sprites, the after effects and the sounds/music all fit together really well to create a very cosy atmosphere :D I also loved that everything was interactable in the main menu! That attention to detail really shows the love that was put into the game I think :)
The games were great too and, as also mentioned on the game page, they were really hard! The only thing that was a bit frustrating was having to go to the menu and wait for it to become evening each time you lost (and because the games were so hard I lost quite a lot >.<). That is what it felt like for me at least :)
A second (small) point of feedback is that when I first loaded the game I was not sure what I was supposed to do. I just started randomly clickling around in the main menu, and then at a seemingly random time a game started playing. After a bit I understood I could change the game by pressing the tv, and that the game began when it became evening. I don't think this was a big problem, but there was a bit of friction there.
Otherwise amazing work on everything really, the art, sounds, games. This was really enjoyable :D Thanks a lot for making this ^_^
thanks for your detailed feedback! :)
we'll definitely think about how to add a "quick-restart"!
Very cool and I really enjoyed playing the mini games. Loved the Moiré effect :)
thanks for playing! glad you liked it! :)
Like other commenters have said, you really nailed the retro aesthetic, and even got the classic genres (and their ridiculous difficulty) down to a T.
Cat in Space is my favorite so far, though idk what to do after I get the enemy into the shield mode.
thanks for your feedback! :)
spoiler-alert:
in "a cat in outer space" you can destroy the enemy shield using the charge shot (hold down left mouse button to charge)
TO HARD. cool idea though
thanks for your feedback!
I enjoyed "A Cat Rolling High" the most. Unfortunately I never finished "A Cat In Outer Space".
thanks for checking out our game and your feedback! ... in outer space is by far the hardest of the 3 games :)
I love the arcade style minigame anthology, and this really captures the old atari feel. It was definitely too hard for me lol, the best I think I did was get to the 4th stage of the space one (I died cause my cursor went out of the window so my controls stopped working D: ). The mechanic in the pong game where each player has their own territory is genius though, and it looks like the end point on a player's side shifts when they make a point. It didnt feel like I was able to direct the ball but the zones I think are great. With games like this where its very easy to die, I feel like it needs a quicker restart to the level though, so you can try again without losing tempo.
thanks for your feedback! a quicker restart is a really good point! will think about that, thx! :)
Very interesting take on a diagetic main menu. I felt a bit smart to try and tune in to the noise and see what happened (instead of starting a "dream" with the tuned in channel).
Unfortunately the music was unbearable, a bit sad that you couldn't turn off the music separately from the sfx. But other than that, it has a nice retro early 80's aesthetics.
thanks for your feedback!
we'll check out how to separate music from sfx options in future games! :)
The game feels super retro! I would change the game to not play one looping track, although it did sort of remind me of the looping tracks that old arcade games have. I liked that the menu had interactive elements. As for the games, the platforming game and the pong game are fun but the space game is a bit dull. other than that, nice work!
thanks for your feedback! :)
