Hello Itch.io Community! 👋
I usually spend my days dealing with production, technical drawings, and heavy machinery as a Mechanical Engineer. But as soon as my shift ends, I close the CAD software and open Godot.
After many sleepless nights and liters of coffee, I am thrilled to share my first solo project with you: A Cat Named Venus Shorttail.
It is a game starring my real-life cat, Venus, who spent most of the development process sleeping on my keyboard (literally).
🎮 What is the game about? This is a vertical platformer designed with a "pick-up and play" philosophy. My goal was to create something you can play with one hand on a bus or subway, but with precise mechanics that feel rewarding.
- The Goal: Climb as high as you can.
- The Obstacles: Gravity, annoying birds, and what I call "Ghost Shelves" (platforms that vanish when you need them most).
- The Vibe: Cozy pixel art with a dash of frustration :)

📱The game is currently playable in your Browser (no download needed), but I also provided native builds for Windows, Mac, and Android (APK).
My ultimate goal is to release this on mobile app stores. But before I face the "final bosses" of the App Store and Play Store, I need the feedback of this experienced community.
- Does the movement feel right?
- Is it fun on mobile?
👗 Let's Co-Create! You can unlock different cat costumes with the coins you collect in the game. But I want to expand this wardrobe! Do you have a funny or cool costume idea? Please let me know in the comments. I’d love to draw your suggestions and add them to the game in the next update. Let's build this together!
Thank you so much for stopping by, playing, or just leaving a comment. Every bit of support helps this engineer become a better game developer.
