This is my entry, the first time for me participating of Ludum Dare. The game has a backstory to it, and it's somewhat real. The game have two parts: in the first part you train your cat in the backyard, you can feed it and get it to sleep also. There's a hidden fitness, tiredness and hunger stat that shift towards the activity you're doing. The cat also can do whetever he/she wants as the hunger or tiredness level go up. The fitness level is important because at higher levels, the cat does more damage on stage 2.
Once the time is over, you must fight the old lady on the stage 2 smashing the keys, that's the only way.
I couldn't work more on balance, and trying to make it more fun, but anyway I'm happy with the results.
I'm not sure it this was suppose to happen but there was the first stage with 3 rooms, I kept going to the left one and the cat kept going to the right one. Then a fight scene where I mashed qwe and that was the end of it. I liked the graphics though.
It wasn't clear exactly what was going on during training. Very cute game, though.
Suggestion: you might want to host the game externally on a site such as itch.io, so that when you click "Web", it links you straight to the game embedded in a webpage.
Nice take on the theme, I really liked the graphics and sound effects in this one. Gameplay was pretty straightforward... first keep clicking q, and then mash all three buttons... If the old lady had some different abilities and then you had to counter those abilities with your abilities, it might have added more complexity. Still pretty good for the time frame.
Nice pixel art, and cute idea for the theme. SFX were kind of jarring, and I wished there was more stuff on the screen telling me what I should be doing. Nice job getting something completed for the compo!!
