That was really good for your first game jam. The animation when you swap between cat and mouse was really cool. Gameplay aside, I think the idea is really cool. If you want to make it harder with an update after the jam, an idea maybe: when you are a cat there are many mice all around, which die in 1 hit. When you are a mouse, there are a number of cats equal to the number of mice you killed last round... Also the enemies get stuck on walls super easily so probably reduce or get rid of the friction on the walls

Thanks for your feedback! In the end I decided to make a better player following algorithm for the mouse and cat, so this problem will be gone with the update. For the harder difficulty, I wanted to just make the cat/mouse faster, but your idea seems more clever and fair at the same time! In the game it kinda looks weird to eat the mouse while the mouse is invincible, because there is no more point in eating it. With this idea, it looks more realistic and I like the fact that your play as a cat will affect the game later!
