You are business cat. You are late for work. Select a path that will get you to the checkpoint and out the door in 10 seconds or less. You don't have to rush. You don't have to build the whole path in one go (hint)!

I enjoyed that maybe more than I should've (XD)! I've gotta say, it is pretty simple, but that didn't stop it from being entertaining! I did lose on the last level before I got the solution, but I only had to restart once, so it's all good on my side (😎)! Congrats on your first Ludum Dare entry! It's a win from my eyes! >:D

Cats, business suits, coffee... and fits the theme.
Took me a while to figure out that you could dismount the bed at an angle.
I would like to see more levels.

Your game could profit from a hint how o make a longer path ;) Jus tried cuse your hint that you do not have to do it.

I love the graphics. I guess noone can resist a ca in a suite

When I pressed play and the music hit then the roomba started chasing I died! Hilarious! Cute pixel artwork as well.

Very stylish.

Very fun twist on the theme! So many of the LD51 games are stressful, this one is a nice change of pace. The only thing I would change is to maybe lower the audio levels a bit, it sounds like they clip the top of the mixer occasionally. The artwork is also very cute.

Great job, I had fun!

The pixel art is so cute! Very cool to see another take on a puzzle game with this theme. I had a little trouble with the first puzzle because I didn't realize you could move diagonally to get off the bed. I liked the music - it's simple, but it works really well at establishing the mood for each part of the game. Nice job!

Aw man! This game is awesome! I really love the idea of a business cat late for work, great job! These puzzles are challenging while also staying fun. The artwork looks awesome and I love the sounds that get played when the cat is following your moves, really makes me worry hoping I got the puzzle right this time. The ending... is very cute :) best ending ever!

Really fun puzzle concept. I also had trouble realizing you could get out of bed diagonally but after that the puzzles were smooth from there.

Fantastic concept! I love that you took the theme but made the tie-in to "Every 10 Seconds" something that was very low-stress and fun. The music was also very cute, and the sound effects were adorable (cat slurping coffee! Squee!). So much fun, and very well-executed!

Haha! I love the use of the vacuum: mortal enemy of cats everywhere, especially the first time you click the play button, when the vacuum unexpectedly starts moving and you're like "Oh, no... I see where this is going..." I found this game quite enjoyable (although surprisingly difficult) and quite humorous, and I loved the puzzles and also the ending.

It's refreshing to play a game that doesn't have the 10 seconds happen in real time! Very chill, adorable puzzle game. I'd love to see more levels of this.

I was also thinking about a turn-based game where one turn would be one second, but didn't figure out what it would be. This on the other hand is quite ingenious! Really nice puzzles too, only the sounds I didn't care much for. It feels a bit like cheating when you don't plot the whole path in advance, though clearly it's how it's supposed to be played!

@arzi, I agree it would've been better if we could have plotted the whole course at once. Unfortunately we couldn't get the mechanics of running over tiles multiple times without stopping. Definitely something I'll have to figure out in the future.
