Small idea for a little game. *Egyptian mau

I've managed to end up with something playable, but still just the basic game core loop.

No time left for polishing, no focus on audio and music. The optimistic aim, that has been dropped in action, included some graphically worked welcome and final screens - the Bastet narrator, it is truly missing there.

You know what? It's simple but it made me giggle! And has a nice aesthetics too, everything fits together. Congratulations!

I am chaos cat and I love it.

Love the art style: simple yet distinctive.

LDJam user 2805655 Apr 2022, 15:07

Lovely art style! Nice and simple :)

Took me some time to figure out what to do! Great looking game.

This is just awesome, love the idea, love the style, houmurous and clever. Such a nice little game

Nice art and an interesting concept! :paintbrush:

This was very short, but actually really fun :) I thought it was really neat how you sometimes flipped the progress bar to confuse the player. It definitely worked XD

It feels that you wanted to a lot more with this game, but what you have now already works really well and looks beautiful! Really great job on the art :D

Neat idea. I really liked the art style. Well done!

Omega_Troll6 Apr 2022, 20:09

I loved this game!. Nice and different idea and it totally catches the cat sprit throwing things down somewhere.

Love the artstyle, and the humor was spot on too! I just wish it was longer!

Absolutely beautiful art style and concept. The game was fun, although more levels and complexity would be cool. Very nice work.

I liked the concept! I wasn't sure exactly what to do, but slowly figured it out. It was a fun little game. Wish I could see some more!

Frostbiiten7 Apr 2022, 01:28

Loved the simple, angular art-style. It was simple but sweet!

Everything about this is so simple and works together so well. Enjoyed it a lot.

oh god really difficult after experience continuous failure. How can I precisely click when it come to the far right? But it is fun.

onnofalauthor8 Apr 2022, 10:31

@sophie-s Sorry to read, but there is nothing difficult at all - maybe I've just not communicated the way of controls clear enough, but believe me, it is on purpose and supposed to be a part of the game to find out. The point is not to click, but to click and hold - and release precisely (actually not even much precision needed). Thanks for playing, hope you try again :)

Love the minimalistic art and funny gameplay concept! Wish there was more of a challenge but definitely a starting-off point. Solid entry :)

mlho78 Apr 2022, 13:07

Idea is funny, I really like the art part, it's a great entry, good job.

jujujuju8 Apr 2022, 18:44

A really fun idea and beautiful efficient graphics! Loved learning what to do, and then it was over already. :'D Would love to play more! Good job.

I dont think I understood the mechanics... I never managed to get the vase off the shelf? Anyway, very nice and simple art and very cute concept! Cool sound effects too, feels very clean even if you had bigger plans.

LDJam user 2807558 Apr 2022, 21:31

Funny idea mixing the egyptian stuff with the mischeivousness of cats. Would be cool to see this developed more!

Bastienre412 Apr 2022, 22:02

Very fun concept!
And graphics are simply perfect!
Good job!

lesinvisible14 Apr 2022, 10:26

I was very surprised with this game! Yes, this is very minimalistic and the actual mechanic of breaking the vase is very simple, comparing to what I expected initially. But the graphics and animations are so cute and really create this lively feeling. This game gives a very nice impression.
