Very original!!!! Had a lot of fun playing this.

Very unique and interesting game! The mechanics are essentially the opposite of my entry lol. I love this kind of original take on an endless runner, it really gives the feeling of trying to pet a cat that doesn't want to get pet. Will say though, it's a bit hard to control when the cat is climbing the walls, because you don't know when it's going to slide down or not, but in a way that's kind of how a cat in real life goes anyways lol... Other than that, it's a very fun game! Keep up the great work!

This one's a strong contender! Once you get past the learning curve, it's a very smooth way to implement indirect movement!

Only thing that confuses me is the stress meter. Not sure if I should care about it.

I was a bit confused at start because the game directly starts and also the displacement gameplay is not obvious. But this approach is original and creative. This sub is the perfect example that 1 fresh idea makes a great start for a game.

love the idea! I really want to delve more into mechanics about where the mouse is, this kind of stuff definitely inspires me to try new things! great stuff

The "aha" moment where I noticed how the main mechanic worked was satisfying. The stress meter was really clever - balancing how far up its butt my cursor was was fun :) The pixel art and animation of the cat were cute and compelling and I liked that it could climb walls too.

I liked this creative idea! Quite unique this way of control the cat and the animations are really nice!
I don't understand how to proper climb the walls or even getting down from it, so in these times I was wandering if the stress meter is of the cat or mine... haha :-)

Of course cat's  stress, could you understand a man who likes cats but the cats don't like him  XD

I thought the idea of using your cursor to move the character was unique, and I loved the mechanic of the stress meter influencing the cat's behaviour! Cat animations are really nice as well!
