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.

Would love to see a level based game out of this concept. Credits for the meow button :)
I hope you had a great time playing it.
I'll work on it after the jam.

This is beyond cute! Very fun to run freely on the long platforms, meowing and pushing my wool ball :3
Thank your for playing!
I hope you had a huge wool ball.

An incredibly cute and well animated game! well done! ^^
Thank you for the kind words.
o(^・x・^)o
Very cute! I wish I thought to put a dedicated meow button in my game 😂
Meow! ヽ(=^･ω･^=)丿
The cat moves a little fast and is a bit slippery, which bothers me a little, but I love the way it hits the ball with its paw.
The cat is very cute and I love its animations.
Then I realized that the pieces of wool reappear... that makes running around with the ball pointless... plus the game screenshot lies, it says more than 800 points but the ball is not very big, I have 600 and half of the ball has already gone off the screen XD
I thought it was a fun and original idea.
Thank you for playing. (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧
The wool fibers only reappear at the bottom of the level for the player to have more fun with the playground.
I had plans to make a dynamic camera which would have zoomed out to adapt to the humongous size of the wool ball.
However I lacked time to implement it. I have a list of things I still want to add/improve after the voting period.
The screenshot does not lie though. In the playground, there are many balls.
You can make them all grow in size. Hence my higher score with a visible ball not that big.
All ball sizes combined makes your score. :)
It's cool, I like it.
Cute game! Totally cleared my mind... Love the meowing:3
Thank you for playing! (ะ`♔´ะ)
> Totally cleared my mind...
Exactly what I was going for. :3
Really cute style, I see there is a few of us that decided to make cat-centric games haha
I really like the design of the whole game with the simple 8 bit graphics but the gameplay is lacking a bit, there is not much to do with the ball.
The particles were also a nice touch
also, meow
10/10
Thank you for the kind words & for playing.

> the gameplay is lacking a bit
Yes, I lacked time and only had 48 hours to work on it.
I decided to focus on what I had done & make it work well.
It is more a prototype / playground as it is right now. But I'll keep working on it.
Makes me remind Katamari Damacy. game is speedy, and concept is cute
Thank you for playing. =^._.^= ∫
Yes, this is the main inspiration as you can see in my GDD file: Catastrophy Game Design Document
Pawsome game :3 Love the meow button!
Purrfect! Thank you for playing.
(⁎˃ᆺ˂)
Fun game! The controls were a little slippery for my liking but otherwise I enjoyed it :) I loved the simple concept and the artwork was very impressive!
Yes, I intend on improving the controls & animations transitions after the game jam.
Thank you for playing. (^人^)
that was fun,loved the cute concept and music!
Thanks for playing & for the paw-sitive feedback.
ㅇㅅㅇ
This was super cute! I loved how the cat poked the yarn ball too
Thank you for playing!
~(=^‥^)
OMG! SO CUTE!
Really unique mechanism and super fun to use. I wish there were more levels, and I wish there was was a crouch / slow button, so you could move the yarn more nimbly at top speed.
But great vibe - super cute ! nice work!
Thanks for playing! You're the cat's whiskers!
I lacked time, being solo & only able to participate for 48 hours.
However I already have a todo list at the end of my game design document & a jump functionality is on the list (crouch & prepare to jump)
(ㅇㅅㅇ❀)
Really satisfying game! Especially when it comes to mastering spamming the meow button as much as I can (I couldn't resist) while controlling the yarn. I tip my hat to you, from one cat pun submission to another :3
Thanks for playing! Good purr-formance.
meWOW! >:3
Purr-fect reaction! Looks like you're feline good about it!
(,,◕⋏◕,,)
Dedicated meow button, instant 10/10!
That coment 10/10.
Made me laugh.
Cute and I love the meowing and had a huge ball what more can I ask :D
Thank you for playing!
You meowed your way to success! (⁎˃ᆺ˂)
