How does your game fit the theme?
Take control of a playful feline on a mission to grow a wool ball to enormous sizes. As you explore the environment, you gather moss that clings to the wool ball, causing it to expand and become more challenging to manage. Master the art of strategic movement and precise timing as you navigate around obstacles and walls, while steering clear of hazards that threaten to shrink your wool ball.

A fun and well-polished little game.

Audio is great, controls are solid, art is adorable (and good job handling the upscaling/changing texture on the yarn ball).

My only complaint would be that as the ball gets really big, it kinda lacks some of the feeling of weight that you would expect to come with it. Maybe pitch down the collision noise it makes and make it harder to push the bigger it gets?

Overall, really good job - looking forward to seeing what this looks like when it gets more than a sandbox mode! (And sorry for the multiple comment posts - my browser went haywire!)

Aw, adorable! I wish I could see more of the level at once to avoid points of no return better, but otherwise it's a very fun time combining two of my favorite things: cats and Katamari. Cat-amari?? Anyway, kudos on the entry!

Developer

A better camera system will be present in the post-jam update...
and many more improvements.

Cute funny game. I really enjoyed how fast you can go with the yarn ball

Developer

Thank you for playing!
I plan on adding a dash system so that you can even go faster with the ball. :O

Very fun and fluid game! The fact that threads respawn, and more yarns at the end was a very good decision :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! 
Last hours of implementation, I figured that at least a sandbox to play with the idea would be fun.

My yarn ball reached critical density, became a black hole, and consumed us all, 10/10.

That's an evily huge wool ball you go there...

The implementation of the theme is really creative, and I am grateful to have the ability to meow bind to the X key (this is very important to me). I'd love to see this developed into a full game eventually!

Very cute game, I had a lot of fun playing it! And music is perfectly selected! Would be nice if there was one or two things to do more, to be honest I would love it if I could jump but at least I can meow :3

Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!
Jumping was planned but scoped out because of lack of time.

This was a cute game! I wish there was a bit more to the gae, but at the same time, the simplicity is part of what makes it fun :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!
Don't worry, there'll be more to it later.
