How does your game fit the theme?
This is my GMTK 2020 Game Jam game about a crazy cat lady who's cats got out and she has to catch them. Unfortunately they are out of control. This 20 level long crazy puzzle game isn't as easy as herding sheep. This is Herding Catz. I drew all the art except some UI elements. Some UI and all Audio is from Unity Asset Store. ****** You can play in browser here: http://marzgames.com/HerdingCatz/HerdingCatzWebGL/index.html

I liked the idea and how you executed it. The pixel art is pretty great too as well the level design. If you keep working on it after the jam, maybe adding more game fell it can easily become a full, and very great puzzle game! Congratulations!

I have always used herding cats a description of an insanely frustrating task. This was actually fun, challenging and entertaining. Well done!

good job nice game but i think you have too much hp

Zac MarvinDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks! There are actually 20 levels and the last 5 get pretty tough but a bug with my level 9 prevents you from going any further :/. I wanted 9 lives for the whole cat cliche thing! Thanks though, ill take that into consideration.
