I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
thats insane what
Move thy mouse to the mouse.
Great charming game! There's not a single thing I didn't like about this one. Everything from visuals and audio to gameplay is top notch!
Keep up the good work!
Amazing! Great humor, love the graphics, audio and music is awesome as well. We did something similar with the game mechanics of looping around enemies to hurt them, but this expanded it much more than what we did I think!
Gave me some inspiration personally actually in case we decide to do something else with it in the future.
Lovely submission in general, so glad I got notified about it.
Very fun game, super polished, amazing work! The intro is super fun and cute, and can we talk about th menu? It is amazing!
I would say the only downside to me was the game was a bit long, it got repetitive after a while.
But otherwise, the music, SFX , artwork, it's all great. And super nice that you included an option to change the mouse sensitivity :)
This game is RATS backwards.
Memes, vibe, music and looks is top notch.
Awesome game! Fun and engaging, one of the best I've played :D
If we talk about possible disadvantages, then the only minus is that the cat is too close to the edges of the screen. Obstacles that interfere with the mouse are funny, but the constant circling of the cat around the edge of the screen is a bit annoying.
thanks for the feedback!
This was a lot of fun!! 10/10
One of the best games I've played in this jam! It has good gameplay, good ost, an amazing artwork and even a cute narrative! Only thing I would change is having some visual feedback for when the cats gets damaged, but other than that, amazing job!
This is so creative and I think you have one of the more forgiving mouse-loop mechanics I've played. It was fun and I got competitive with it pretty quickly. There were times I thought I should have gotten a loop but didn't, I think if anything could have been a bit clearer in the tutorial it would be the importance of ending a loop to start a new one to make sure no enemies touch it. Overall super fun and a great job!
Great game, and this is a very creative interpretation of the theme! I love the main mechanic, and I am personally glad you did not add dying. I took 278 damage because I don't have a mouse, and I would not have wanted to die because of using trackpad. I also love the general vibe of the game. I think the boss has a bit too much health on its final shield phase, but other than that the gameplay is great! I cannot comprehend how you were able to make something this big and high-quality in 4 days (The art is great I love it).
thanks!
Very creative way of using loops as a main game mechanic. Health of the boss is a bit high. The obstacles that appear on the map are a very good idea to break up mindlessly drawing loops.
The good things: The artwork was crazy good and the mechanics very fun.
The not so good things: I think the boss health was incredibly high so I stopped trying at 10 minutes playing and only half bar done, also it didn't seem the attacks or mobs were doing any damage to me, so it kinda loses the point of a boss fight if I'm invincible
Thanks for the feedback! The you not taking damage part is by design, it was meant to not punish players who weren’t as skilled. The ‘competitiveness’ of the game i guess could come from the endscreen stats. Also maybe it wasnt clear enough from the sfx but you cannot damage the boss while it’s spawning enemies (when the shield bar is active). If you have suggestions as to how we could’ve made that clearer I would like to know (we plan on releasing a polished post-jam version so constructive feedback is always appreciated)
That's great, it has a lot of potential. In my opinion you should make clear those stats from the start, just by saying what will happen if you get hit cause otherwise it feels like nothing is happening.
I would add visual feedback when you're damaging the enemy, like a flash effect and maybe some small screen shake. At first I didn't understand what the shield bar was, I thought it was the player's, so maybe the enemy bars should be at the bottom of the screen, I think the top right is usually player HUD. I'm not a game expert and it's just my opinion but I hope my feedback helps!
shared it with my team, thanks again!
This was my favourite so far i love this one, the art and the music and gamplay was so fun, i loved the dancing muose at the end very silly, very fun!!
Nice game, No real problems with it. I love the art style and music.
A lotta fun! I liked the artstyle, the presentation was very funny, and the gameplay is solid. Surprisingly challenging, too!
Good job on this!
nice game, cool idea and grate execution
it was nicly pholished maybe a bit too hard and the art was amazing
This is so fun! I love all the satisfying little juicy details. Nice job!
thanks!
As a trackpad user...
I LOVED this game! It did hurt my hand a little since the max sensitivity was the tiniest bit too low, but I still loved it. Not sure I was meant to take 1004 damage and 742 seconds, but it was great! That song definitely kept me going alongside the cat constantly giving off Ralsei Deltarune vibes, lol. Nice work!
thanks for the review!
