You are a tuxedo cat living in your human's mouse-infested home. Luckily for you, your human allows you to eat the mice (what else do you expect?). So because of that, you do what a feline does best: you pounce and devour each and every last one of them.
How to play
Catch as many mice as you can before you lose your nine lives. If a mouse escapes, you lose a life. On all devices, click the mice to catch them and get points. On iOS, you can also play "Tilt Mode" and move the cat to the mice by tilting your phone.
Inspiration
The idea came to my mind within seconds: cats and mice are incompatible. The reason I kept this idea was because I have two cats myself, and they mean so much to me.
@pandademic42, thanks for your great feedback! I just updated the entry description (the game already had the info you requested in the "how to play" area). I was planning on adding sound, but some devices make it a little tricky (sometimes impossible).
@mao, thanks for the feedback. I see that sometimes too. It does work better on a phone, but I can still make the mice a little bigger. Also, when I was connecting the theme, I took two different objects that are incompatible, not two genres (a lot of people also did that).
Two points of critique: 1. it is sometimes hard to click a mouse, as apparently not the entire cursor counts. 2. Interepreting species as genre is a bit far fetched in my opinion.
@Mr.MadCat, thanks for the feedback. I will make the mice bigger (or at least add some clear padding to the image) so they are easier to click. The cursor aspect, I can't do anything about. It does work better on a phone though (also tilt mode on iOS is fun).
Really cool! I didn't mind having to click multiple times to catch a mice, it gave the game a better catching type feel, anyway, Only thing I noticed was that the mice could spawn and instantly crash into the walls and make me lose hp. The theme selection was also really cool! Can't wait for more of your games.
@pogo & @samuel-henderson, thanks for your feedback! I will fix both of those issues at some point.
@PatrickRMC, thanks for the great feedback and the brilliant way to think of the problem that way. I will fix those problems at some point though. I see that you're 14-years-old. If you didn't already know, I'm too:smile:.
Simple yet addicting game. Graphics are nice, could use some sound though. sometimes mice spawn too close to the edges of the screen. I have a similar game where you have to kill enemies with traps instead of attacking. you can check it out here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/unnamed-game
This is a good game, I would prefer a video game genre incompatibility, but the jam doesn't specify the genre type, so there is no fault on that.
Sometimes the mice appear in a corner of the screen, and it is hard to catch. I think that it shouldn't be because of that that you can't catch a mouse, but this is a minor and easy fix.
I would have wanted some music and sounds, to set the mood of the game. But hey, for a compo entry is forgiven, I didn't do music in mine.

I would hardly call mice and cats genres...

Otherwise well done.
@Blinkenlights, thanks for enjoying. :cat:

@bryyrt, thanks for the feedback. I'll make sure to check out your game.
