Lets just say losing is the point of the game.
So when i got the prompt, my partner said i needed cats, so first thought that came was 9 lives. I needed them to go down, so I gave a boss that was never happy, hence why you lose if you hit the timer.
The cats just have a collider on it that take out beakers, so if a beaker fell, you got a strike. Other than that, they just visually cover the beakers and make it harder to see. Classic cats, other words obstacle. Big complaint is that you cant pet them.
Would you believe me i did all the sounds in less than 30 minutes on the day of the submission.
