Sneak up behind birds, eat them, get fatter the more you eat.

Birds are like dinosaurs, they can't see you when you're not moving.

Arrow Keys to Move, Shift to Run.

Used bfxr for sound effects, and Montserrat font from Google Fonts.

Other than the really annoying sound effect its a pretty fun game, I'm way too impatient though

Very nice game! A little frustrating when a bird pops right under your nose and all of them are alerted :S

Nice, although the sound effects are really annoying. Try making your own (rather then generating them) by hitting things in front of a microphone. It takes about 10 minutes and you get some amazing sounds from it :)

The graphics are amazing and its fun when you have a MASSIVE cat slowly making its way around the board.

Great entry

looks fun, but you should make a web port :D

the sound scared my the first time I heard it :))

furriKira8 Dec 2014, 16:16

Aww... I love cats and then I can't play this because my computer is a 32x system. D:

The sound is grating;/ Other parts are fine

JNyknn8 Dec 2014, 19:24

That sound effect is annoying, otherwise an entertaining game.

I enjoyed it! I jumped out of my seat when I first heard the sound lol :)! I like the cat. I also wanted to have a cat main character but never got round to designing him.

Very cool idea but a little simple, still liking it cos it's complete, well done :)

Sweet visuals!

The sfx were kinda harsh. I am not patient enough to stalk those darn birds. I would fail as a cat! :) Thanks for this!

slarrimer10 Dec 2014, 03:19

Very cute game! I kinda wish the cat avatar was fatter though.

Pretty fun to play, but the sounds hurt my ears, so I just turned them off. The graphics where very minimalistic but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Gins10 Dec 2014, 10:40

That's quite addicting and suspenseful :)
Suggestion for the future: have the environment affect your stealth.

tcarter11 Dec 2014, 08:27

They all seemed alerted to me instantly. Maybe I'm not very good at hiding.

jpmit11 Dec 2014, 21:00

Nice game!

AMS14 Dec 2014, 14:18

Cute game ^^
the sound effects are sometimes annoying, but its addicting and fun
good job overall :D

Teesquared15 Dec 2014, 03:34

I enjoyed this game I thought it was very funny and more challenging when the cat got bigger.

MrShoestore18 Dec 2014, 04:55

You had me at "Birds are like dinosaurs" The eating SFX literally scared me the first time it happened. I like the colors used. Would love to have seen a bird not paying attention while pecking a worm from the ground animation, and a big/different colored bird worth 2 snacks.

RobustInteractive23 Dec 2014, 10:45

good job! but arent the birds a bit too obvious to fool?
anyways, good game, but not so good music.

StackAttack25 Dec 2014, 17:06

Fun little game. It is hard to know the detection area of the birds which made it a bit frustrating when I didn't know if they could see me or not.

I like stealth games ;)
And cat getting so fat is funny!
