Charming! As a fan of RoboRally, I really enjoyed this. Would be really nice to remove/edit parts of the sequence without restarting fresh. I also encountered a bug a few times where cat doesn't run when I play note next to it.

Interesting game. Good work on the graphics.

That's fun and cute.
Maybe few things can improve this game: a fast-forward button, the possibility to remove one item and keep the positions of the items when we fail...
And more levels!
Anyway, nice work, nice graphics, and nice mood!

​It's like RoboRally but domestic! I like it!

I have to say, It was fun!

Fun stuff! Agree with the others on ability to remove/edit before going and a fast-forward button. Otherwise, nifty little puzzler. Enjoyed the cat sounds. :)

Really like these kind of puzzles games, really well done. Just need to work on some of the bugs with the robot movement there, but it is a cool game!

This game is genius! First of all I love the isometrics graphics. I also really like this style game. I gave high humor, innovation and fun. Nice Job :).

Also, with my game, you definitely extracted the folder from the zip? Otherwise it won't run. If you did, it's probably an OpenGL Version problem

Anyway, Your game is brilliant, I had a lot of fun with it ;)

Cute, but the bugs are really frustrating, even when I have the right solution I often don't pass the level because the robot or the cat got stuck.

Really cute, and pretty clever puzzles. Would love if you could undo or delete single commands without having to redo the whole command chain.

Greate game idea. It reminds me of a board game (forgot how its called). But adding in the cat makes it much more fun/funny.

Nice and simple graphics. The little cat drawings between levels are funny, though they don't quite fit into the art style of the rest of the game.

Overall well implemented game!

Haha, this was an amusing entry. Engaging game mechanic too.

Nice mechanic and good game.

The gameplay like "scratch" it's really interesting!

Good job.

Nice! It is slightly similar to my entry, although yours is a better fit to the theme. Nice level design, and a good amount of polish for quite a solid entry. Congrats!! :D

Very fun game! I like to read cat's comments. There is also challenge, so solution is not always obvious, which is important for puzzle games. Good luck!

great idea and mechanics, the goal could be more clear, I got lost trying to understand what went wrong

Scaring the cat is an interesting addition to the old "program a robot" concept.

A nice program the robot game. Reminded me of a game on the Amiga called Tower of Babel which featured programmable robots. Solid well rounded entry.

This was fun. Needed more levels. I very much so enjoyed what I played.

Nice job. As others have said, the ability to edit programs would be a big help.

a very fun puzzle game. Easy to reset and repeat levels that you messed up, love it!

Great! It reminds me of "Robo-Rally." Definitely a game for programmers!

Nice little game. Some means to modify the program without restarting or to execute some steps and then continue adding commands or to skip animations to faster see the results would be good things to add.

Over here I'm having a dreary, grey morning... upbeat music + puzzle/prog game was appearantly just what I needed to lift my spirits. Thank you :-)
(That poor cat though...)

completed the game,
the concept is great really!
but I wish I could undo a button >-<..
overall it was a really fun experience

@all: I know that gameplay is not perfect, but that's all I managed to make in two days. Thanks a lot for your feedback, I guess I'll develop a complete game.

Good job!

While quite simple, has a lot of personality. I've included it in a video with further comments here, which should be up very shortly here. https://youtu.be/Afy4WAZrS2s

Haha, the scary vacuum noise! Pretty cool once I figured out what to do. I beat the game -- cool concept! The music was really fitting, too. :>
