This game has such good art ^^ I think that jumping is not very useful or that what I think.

But is very enjoyable!!

I really like the art of this game and also the addition of getting to choose different cats.

Nice game! Very enjoyable sprites, and I liked the sound effect you used. You do a good job of attention to detail with instructions and info too.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking my game. Funny fact,  I made the sound effects with my mouth XD.

Hands down, the best Cat-Catching-Potatoes game I've ever played.

You might consider switching to a portrait build, as it's a little difficult to put yourself under the potato in landscape, what with the jar being almost in the horizontal middle of the play space.

Otherwise, you've got all the necessary fixings for a good time, and being able to choose your cat is a nice touch.

Well done, and good luck! :D

Developer

Thank you for the compliment I must agree this is the best Cat-Catching-Potatoes game out there. (;
Thanks for the input, I'll work on it more after the jam. {:

Cool game, picking up the potatos was satisfying. I think it would be cool if over time it got more chaotic and multiple objects spawned at the same time (but then you shouldn't lose a life if you miss a potato)

Keep it up :)

Thank you for playing my game. I liked your idea. Actually, potatoes are falling every five points it is not a big change but it makes it harder. I want to add that you can heal one heart every 25 points. Glad you had fun (:

You're lucky I find potatos extremely funny! And also you made a great game with nice art and animations. Was a bit too hard sometimes when potatos are too far, but who doesn't like a little challenge?

Developer

Thank you for playing my game. I also find potatoes funny and I will try to incorporate them in all my games as my username is PotatoLife. It is purposely hard so it is not easy to get a high score. glad you had fun . (:

Art looks really cool.. although the cat's arms are a bit too long XD

The potatoes kinda look like the toast from teletubbies. Personally, I'm not a fan of loosing a live when you can't collect the potato but that's just me. Overall, really cute game :)

Developer

thank you for playing my game. I made it hard on purpose so it is hard to get a high score ;>

A simple game idea but really nice execution,  I liked all the little particle effects like when you got hit with the bomb or when the ghosts appeared after you die. The game felt great to control as well. I thought the art was cute and loved what you did with the menu. My highscore ended up being 15, but I noticed that when you refresh the page it doesn't save your highscore!

Developer

Thank you checking the game and sending me feedback. my high score is in the 30s. [:
I know the high score doesn't save if you refresh and I will try to figure it out in future games.

Cool game. I liked the death animation.

Developer

Thanks for checking my game. you probably didn't see but when the cat in my game dies there are 9 ghosts. ;0 I also like your game

I loved the falling potato animation. A bit difficult to use jump appropriately so i just used walk

Developer

Thank you for checking the game. I liked your fighting game concept so I would like to try and make a fighting game in the future as well. :3

Thank you for checking my game. I have never played Earthworm Jim but if its like my game, it must be good. ;D
 I enjoyed your game as well.

Cool game! I liked the graphics. But it is difficult to understand that these are cats. You've got a good project. It is sometimes difficult to catch potatoes. The character does not have time to run.

Thanks for checking my game. I also enjoyed yours. (:
