Hahahaha hence proved jerry is stronger than tom run cat run :D
Amazing game idea, and nicely implemented. that high jump of cat was damn!! real, the most amazing implementation.
overall great work!!
Really brilliant idea, great visuals and sound. Though I wonder if the inertia of the cat is intentional or not (it kept sliding after I released the key).
Anyway, great game overall. Good job!
Good game and a unique idea. Well done!
Fun idea, the jump is a bit weird at first but is nice when you undersood it.
I think it would have been funier if the space was bigger
Fun game! Good music and cool idea of a jump mechanic. It was fun to evade walls of mice by just running on a couch
I don't think that it really bends roles, because it would be almost the same game with a mouse hunted by a bunch of cats, but anyway, it's pretty cool
The idea is that the swap of roles is between predator and prey. Glad you liked it though!
One of the more fun games I've played in the jam. It's simple, yet engaging. Good job :)
Pretty good game! I liked the art and the way the mice moved was pretty cool!
I've seen lots of comments about the mouse movement, and its funny because their movement is actually very simple and it was pretty much the first iteration that I tried to get them to chase the cat and climb walls. I'm glad everyone seems to like it!
Animation of the cat running was pretty smooth! Loved it !
I'm glad that everyone seems to like that animation, it took me some time to get it looking right which is why I thought it was worthy of also being in the game's cover image
How the mice crowd you are really horrible---
Really love your cat's animation too <3
Love the music and chaos from the rats. I would like more verticality, since it's pretty hard to juke.
More verticality probably would be a good idea. I thought about putting one of those cat tree things in the level between the chair and the couch which would have been taller than both of them, but I couldn't get the art for it to look good so I scrapped it to try and avoid ruining the look of the whole level with that big out of place thing
The art is well done and the game quickly gets chaotic (and scary) with number of mice on the screen. Overall, it was a fun, crazy platformer!
I think having different settings as levels would be nice too
Nice animation on the cat! I had a hard time controlling the cat; it kept sliding off things when it landed.
Having the developer's high score is a pretty funny addition for some reason.
Really tight controls, simple and fun. Great work!
This would be a good game if it were based on a puzzle structure with more platforming abilities included. Although I liked the core idea.
Great job! Nice simple concept but done well! Would be interesting to see how you would expand it if you had more time!
Love the concept behind the game and the design aesthetics!
The only thing missing was more variety, either by level concept or gameplay-wise (more enemies, addition of power ups, etc.).
Still, a great and solid game!
Liked your clear idea and transparent goal! I would add some dynamic, by making levels with some gameplay development (maybe more different moves to the cat\different level design decisions) or just added development of enemies on this level (maybe with different patterns). Nicely done in 48 hours though!
The idea is really fun! maybe add some food for the cat to collect might be cool, I also like how you included dev high score XD
It is a nice idea. I enjoyed playing the basic game. I am missing something, though. Maybe some buffs or life to gain back. And why the heck is a rat climbing the wall xD
I thought I was safe on the shelves but surprisingly, the mice can climb walls. The controls are quite slippery, so it was a bit difficult to time the jumps. Maybe the cat can drop items on the ground (like they do in real life) to slow down the mice.
I got a high score of 6490 by trying to herd the mice in a tight pack.
