Adorable cats! I think you did a great job prioritizing what to show on screen and everything was easy to jump into and understand. 1st place felt good!

This was cute and simple! The last level felt like a little bit of a crapshoot, because even with perfect timing, it still seemed impossible to win! Definitely a game I'd love to play against other people though!

I absolutely love this! The cats are adorable and the game is instantly understandable. I honestly wish I was reviewing a hundred more games like this. It’s a shame it’s not 64x64 pixel resolution, but I’m certain you’re still going to rank well.

Shoot! Since its my first time on the jam I thought this scaled up version would still count as 64x64. Anyways, thanks a lot for the review Im rellay glad you liked to play

It would help to have some static background graphics to help communicate that the canoes are moving forward and not just back-and-forth. Like, waves on the water or maybe a coastline in the background.

Thanks for playing! Absolutelly agreed. A background wouldve helped a lot the visuals. Unfortunately at the point I realised this the code was horribly messy lol

it looks like i'm the king of the canoe, the graphics are super cool and the idea of the game is cool too. i like the idea of one button gameplay and how we can think around this concept. I think it would have been nice to put a little variety in the button pressing by varying the speed of the bar, changing the place where you have to hit or several places to hit. Thanks for the suggestion, we enjoyed breaking the other cats with my children

This game is very nice clean and fun to play!

The colour palette is used nicely.

I wanted to choose the grey cat!

Though I won! The final screen could've been a trophy too :)
