I always knew both Roombas and cats were spawns of Satan, but I never connected the two together. It’s a pretty nice idea for a game. Perhaps there should be some sort of penalty for dropping non-valuable items into the pentagram - I imagine somewhere in hell there’s a very angry Satan stuck under a pile of old grimoires and skulls.

Roomba Cat Best Cat. Only thing I missed was the summoning of an actual demon cat if you gathered enough score and some limit in max items on screen. To make it more interesting, maybe move the pentagram around over time?

Hilarious idea and very well done!  I could see my old cat doing this, but with socks.  

Lots of physics objects eventually caused some frame chugging for me.

Nice art, liked the cat, and Grieg is fitting perfectly to the theme. I'd like to use more movement during the game, as I just stayed on the pentagram and dropped skulls in there, on cooldown. Looking forward for the new projects!

A beautiful game!  I couldn't get the controller to work, which is a shame! But I still really enjoyed all of it. I think that, if you're going to use that music, you shouldn't have a fail condition, it should be more of a "How much can you score in the time?"

Unreal Engine does not support PS4 controllers, if that's what you used. Unless you use a program to emulate an XBOX controller or generic gamepad

Really funny game and amazing graphics! My fps starts to drop after a while but maybe I need a new computer.

Very funny game idea and the art direction is nicely done aswell!

Lots of fun, and really enjoyable. Took me a while to get the hang of finding the glowy white objects, but once I did it was fun.

I love the satan-cat-roomba model. The black hole effect is really cool as well. I was laughing so hard when the music picked up and everything was flying all over the room.

it's a fun idea, and well executed. quite difficult, but that might be because it's taxing on my weak laptop.

The art direction is really cool, I like the swapping camera position and I think if you played with that (and moving it all around the room, rather than just to one other spot) it could be really disorienting and chaotic. A specific end goal/win condition might be nice too, but still I think you did a good job. Cheers!
