It was a fun run everyone! Music, art, code, and design was done by yours truly. Sound effects were done with Bfxr.

You take the role of Will. Will loves cats. He loves them so much, he can't help himself from loving them when he gets near them. As much as Will relies on cats for happiness, the sad fact is Will can't take care of cats. Franky, he sucks.
Will has to get home, no matter the measure. Animal Control has taken note of him and seem to follow him around a lot, the police aren't fond of jaywalkers, bullies seem to lurk everywhere, and Gramps is very territorial. But he'll get home. He has to.!
UPDATE - There is an updated version of the game with a different level only, nothing else was touched
Surprisingly complex for what appears to be a simple game at first (such as leading off dogs with the bone). Music and aesthetics pair well together to create a really cohesive experience. Only personal nitpick I can offer is a wish for an easy mode where the cats can't be run over by cars :( :( :(
Rhymes with "chicken dinner". This game is outstanding! I love the art style, mechanics and overall vibe of the game. Even the menu is very nicely done.
I tried so hard to get will home, so many times, but it takes luck to get across that road with bullies on the other side, and gramps is quite the shot! Great job!
Awesome fun and imaginative mechanics. Tunes were really nice too. Like the others said, the difficulty curve is pretty hard haha. Maybe if you would like to keep working on it, introduce the 'enemies' more slowly to teach the player how to avoid them then ramp it up from there.
Argh, this was pretty hard. But it was the fun kind of frustrating. Played it for quite a while, really wanted to beat it but in the end I failed even when I realized that having more cats aren't necessarily better (in fitting with the theme). Good game!
IT LOOKS AWESOME : you need to fix it and make it an arcade game with a good feedback loop ! Graphics are awesome, the sound is great, it is really inviting, event the main menu is awesome ! I didn't spot if cats made you slower ? The animations when you get knocked over or smashed on the road are hilarious! However the road takes a lot of space, and the spawn of the cars is really random and quick: you should moderate that by adding a flashing sign and a beeping noise before the car spawns. Keep working on it !
@eretzoum The game actually does punish you for having too many pets. The more cats you have, the more damage that can be done to you. Any old cat can die and nothing happens, but if your loved cats die then you start getting sad.
There is also code that changes the view distance of a few enemies based on how many cats you tamed. Unfortunately it's not really noticeable.

Cool game again ! Just the decrease of the hp during time is very hard to handle haha.
