Everything in the house is so noisy! You just want to be alone and go to bed.

Windows version requires XNA 4.0. Web version uses Unity.

It crashes when I try to start it. Windows7 64bit.

Beerman19 Dec 2011, 14:43

Crashes for me too :( Also Win7 x64

ladronauthor19 Dec 2011, 16:22

Do you have XNA 4.0 installed? It is required. Web version coming soon (hopefully today)

ladronauthor19 Dec 2011, 18:51

Turns out there was an issue with the windows package. I've fixed it, and it should work now (provided you have XNA installed).

The web version is up now, as well.

Nice! Also, great idea to make a web port. Was there much work involved in porting XNA->Unity?

ladronauthor19 Dec 2011, 21:56

Thanks! With Unity, the hard part is getting the bulk of the engine out of the way so that you can just draw stuff.

Very cute. I would like to play more levels.

ladronauthor19 Dec 2011, 23:02

I might do a post-compo version. Now that the engine is done, adding more content is pretty easy. We'll see..

kibertoad19 Dec 2011, 23:23

Enjoyed it. Nice treatment of a theme.

Very nice.

Wompus20 Dec 2011, 01:47

How did you port your XNA game to web? Did you somehow port the code? Or is it easier than I think?

Btw I enjoyed the game thoroughly, would love to see more content!

Very cute. I would have liked to see and ending message of some sort, but I suppose in this case fading to black wasn't entirely a cop-out.

ladronauthor20 Dec 2011, 02:23

Wompus - the Web version uses Unity, so both are C#. Most of the code is shared - it is just low-level drawing and audio code that is different.

Wicked good. That mom was just like mine!

RobProductions20 Dec 2011, 22:20

Pretty nice, but could've been a little longer. The character movement was fantastic and smooth!

MadEqua21 Dec 2011, 01:16

Great take on the theme, just a little too short. Good job!

nuria21 Dec 2011, 05:21

awesome, very enjoyable, this has a lot of style, you gotta try it.

increpare21 Dec 2011, 16:23

in the browser version, the dish on the roof is never fully on-screen (at least not when you're on the roof as well).

Was weird that you can throw the remote(?) off the edge of the screen as well.

ladronauthor21 Dec 2011, 17:19

increpare - it sounds like the screen is getting cut off for you. No idea why, though...

Wiering22 Dec 2011, 02:27

Can't sleep even when the kittens are in the other room and the door is closed?

ladronauthor22 Dec 2011, 03:40

Wiering - nope :-) I should probably have a special message for that case, though.

recursor22 Dec 2011, 13:25

I like the feel of the game, the art style, and the kittens. Well done.

Winterblood22 Dec 2011, 23:39

Simple, slick, fun. The prompts didn't appear for a minute or so, which was confusing, but eventually they turned up and made it a lot easier. Enjoyed it!

ladronauthor23 Dec 2011, 01:24

Winterblood - glad you liked it! Strange about the prompts not showing up.

If anyone else has any weirdness with the graphics, can you let me know what OS and browser you are using? Thanks!

Nice work!

Love the lo-fi style.
