Really fun! I loved the pixel art visuals and the cute cat! The soundtrack was awesome and it's probably gonna be stuck in my head for a few days haha. Awesome game!
I just need to know - there's SO MANY fish out in the sky, why does the cat need to go to the moon for a mouse? 🤔
Thanks for playing!
As for the fish, you know how the saying goes: Give a cat a fish, feed them for a day. Teach a cat to shoot to the moon, and feed them for a lifetime.
I was giggling from "Hungry" but from when the launch music I was just laughing constantly - love this game so much, well done!
Good! I was hoping the contrast between starting music & launch music would get some giggles. Thanks for playing!
Great game! What a funny game, shooting a cat to the moon, good graphics, good audio, good game overall!
Thanks for playing! glad you found it funny!
Excellent and very polished game!
Love the visuals.
thanks!
By far the most polished game i've played in this jam, super impressive!
Cool! glad you like it.
You should really look into releasing this on the play store or something. I could see a lot of people wanting to play this. The gameplay is super fluid and fun. The progression system and the level itself feel really good. It's so satisfying to hit those lil boost things! Great job!
Hi, glad you like it! I'll consider releasing it as an app or something, but I feel like it currently lacks content/is a bit too short for that. Thanks for the feedback!
This game was so much fun to play! I loved the art, the sound, the music, and the use of upgrades to make me want to keep playing even if the run was a failure. Great job!
Thanks for the comment, glad you like the game!
Wow, this is a lot of fun! Really polished, great gameplay idea and implementation, and beautiful pixel art. And as a cat person, I can only approve of the character and its reasoning :P
I reached the Moon in 15 runs. The Linux build works great, including with my touchscreen (BTW you exported Debug builds, so it's not optimized, but it still runs fine). I could definitely see myself playing this on my phone too :)
My only criticism would be that things can get very busy on the screen when you're fast, and it can make it hard to see the mouse cursor or even the cat. That's part of the game's difficulty, but maybe having a custom, bigger mouse cursor would help make it more distinctive. Or tweak the `+1` fish labels to take slightly less focus, while staying juicy.
One tip on desktop, you can set the mouse mode to `MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED` with Godot, so that the mouse cursor stays visible but can't leave the window. Then it's good to put it back to normal maybe on the game over screens so that players can still quit the game easily if they want.
Wow thanks for all the feedback! Glad you like the game.
I tried to make stuff more visible by giving things outlines, but seems like it wasn't enough.
Didn't know about the mouse modes, looks very useful. Thanks for the tips!
This game is fun! The game motivates you keep playing and shoot for the moon, graphic is really simple and cute. The milk thing is clever and I love the store! Possibly in the future could add features like unlock different cat appearance?
Thanks for the nice comment, glad you like the game! I might add more cats in the future, but no promises.
Omg what a great game lol. It was fun and engaging and I felt compelled to complete it. Plus it had a cat
Thanks! Can't go wrong with adding cats.
I absolutely loved it, I'm still trying to get to the moon ;).
Glad you like it. Keep trying! Sometimes it requires a little luck as well.
Wow, awesome game. I love it! 29/30 stars.
Music and sfx fit very well. The shop motivates you to keep on playing. Drawing catapults on the way up was innovative for me.
Really funny game :)
Happy you like it that much! Thanks for the comment.
absolutly lovely - i beat it in 15 launchs
i think
the music is a little too agitated for me, but I really don't think anything else I would change.
so far my favorite of the jam
Thanks for playing, glad you like the game that much! I could see how the music can be a bit too much, you can disable it with the icon on the top right.
Gameplay: It was pretty good, it was easy to learn.
Graphics: The visuals were good.
Audio: I didnt love the music, IDK why.
Innovation: The slingshot game idea was not really innovative. But the milk and story Moon = cheese, cheese = mouse was pretty funny
Theme: Nothing too complicated. A literal shot to the moon.
Overall: Really nice game.
Can you try my game?
Happy you like it, and thanks for the feedback.
This game is amazing! The music and artwork are incredibly well done and polished. It is really cute and fun. Just the right balance of difficulty and playability without aggravating the player. The shop upgrades are all great and thematic. Excellent Job!
Thanks for the kind comment, I'm really happy you like it.
Fantastic game, love everything about it =)
Thanks, I'm happy you like it.
I love this game! Think i had gotten pretty close to getting to the moon! Had completed quite a few of the upgrades!
However, the game seems to have stolen my cat from me on the way down?
Glad you like it. That bug was in an earlier version of the game but I thought I fixed it, apparently not. Let's just say that aliens gave the cat a ride to the moon.
This game is so fun to play!!! I love the graphics and music too. Sometimes the simplest mechanism gives the best result. Just sit there and watch the cat fly. (When the mouse goes off screen I do hope it releases the mouse for me, instead of not being able to draw the line and let the cat die)
Glad you like it! Sounds like quite a bit of people had problems when mouse left the screen, I like your idea of it just releasing the mouse. Thanks for playing!
I GOT IT!!!!!!!!
really good game an all 5 stars for me.
Good job and thanks!
Cute game. I liked the pixel graphics and the music. I thought I would be over-powered after purchasing all the upgrades, but not so much.
One note: I think I kept dragging off-screen and missing my trampoline a LOT.
If you like platformers, please try our game.
thanks for playing! Platformers are fun, I'll check it out.
