Theme interpretation
The concept is a hybrid cat-dog animal collecting falling cat/dog treats where not every treat is good for each head and the two get in each other's way, so the theme interpretation is literally a hybrid animal as the main character.

Hehe, nice! Not sure if it was meant for 2 players, I played by myself and it had my brain split. At some point the game crashes on my side with "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'highscore.txt'".

A hint for macOS users that do not have Python3 as default. Run "pip3 install -r requirements.txt" first and then "python3 main.py". That worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback! We've now included an empty `highscore.txt` so that the game doesn't crash trying to read from a non-existing file.

It's meant to be played by one player as a kind of coordination challenge, although we're curious about how it might be playable nicely as a multi-player game.
