Great idea and love the gameplay.

Enjoyed the audio too, especially when catching a mouse!

Great execution. Realy liked the hand drawn style. One thing, that might be interesting to experiment with is what happens if all/some of the shadows only move if you move.

OMG this was so much fun, one of the few games I actually played longer than just a few seconds :) I love the meow sound :D and I love the shadows ideas

Loved it! Super cool graphics and intro and i loved the idea!

Really nice entry. My one nitpick is that I could not find a way to reset the game without reloading the webpage.

Hey this was awesome! I love the fat cat lol. The shadows idea was really clever. Great job!

Gonzalol7 Oct 2020, 08:28

It's a funny interpretation of the theme. I like the art at the intro and the sound of the cat meowing.

@theras That's a very interesting idea! It would make that game almost feel like a strategy game, we'll give it a try!

Nice idea !
I think the music had to be more happy but it fit to the shaman atmosphere.
Great job.

I think that the music didnt fitted that weel, but it wasnt bad! But overall, very nice!

Maxime Barreauthor7 Oct 2020, 15:46

@orange-oceans Thanks for giving it a try. Actually the idea was to bring a mystical vibe to the game, because of the shaman's help in the overall story. Plus, we wanted to give a Twink Peaks vibe, with the black & white tiles and the curtains!

Meow. The idea of "avoiding your shadows" is very original and fun. I had a good time wondering what's the best strategy, but the game is probably more fun when you just go straight for the mice.

Why the cat keeps fit with so sad backgroud music haha. Beautiful graphic art and funnygame machanics, I enjoy a lot with friend. We love this game! Thank you and good job!
