Usually I use Superpowers, but as it's now incompatible with my computer I went with Godot.
It was my first time with it but it went quite nice, so I guess I will use it from now on !

Thanks for playing, please leave a feedback and rate the game :)

-------

In this game, you have to raise up cats, make them the happiest possible and then harvest them for an unknown reason (or maybe you will discover it out if you do well enough...)

Make sure that cats can eat and go to the litter in order to make them happy !
Once empty, put a package above the empty bowl/litter to fill it up, then trash the empty package.
You can go to the attic to find more food and litter. (You will need to open the closets by clicking on it !)
At the end of the day, harvest cats to get happiness points !

----

J+1 Fixes:
- Changed dropped items behavior, buggy on some OS (due to HTML5 export I guess)
- Fixed typos

Tools: Godot

Aww this was super cute, I really enjoyed the two areas and the mechanic with the flashlight and opening the cupboards was really clever. Nice work!

Great idea and implementation of concepts around keeping cats! Would be cool to see it keep going. :)

Reminded me of the game I made in the last Ludum Dare event. Good job!

A fun little game! Lots of instructions at the start - I struggle to remember them all. Once I got playing it was fine though. I liked the different minigames you had to juggle :)

Cute game! Love the cat-based take on the theme, and the retro graphics -- reminds me a lot of the old PC game Alley Cat (https://www.mobygames.com/game/pc-booter/alley-cat/screenshots), which I adored as a kid, so thanks for nudging the nostalgia! Well done!

Vey cute little game albeit a bit of a stretch theme-wise. Regardless, it's fun to play and works well so well done!

Awww, that was as stressful as it was *adorable*! ♥ I did my best to tend to those ungrateful fluff-balls and unlocked the ending at the second day. Also congrats on getting started with Godot, apparently you already know your way around it!

It's adorable! Raising the cats are a lot of fun! It was a really creative idea with the theme.

These cats are needier than my actual ones!

Really liked the fetching supplies mechanic, as well as how easy it was to throw out old stuff. I hit some hitbox issues sometimes with the refilling of the food.

This kinda reminded me of tamagotchi :smile:
The gameplay loop was overall surprisingly fun despite the simplicity. Some cats did start to get annoyed right after they finished eating or other businesses though which was kinda confusing.

Cute and funny!
This is a cool idea ... harvesting cats.
I like the game loop: feed, keep sand in cat loo, ... keeping cats happy.
I liked that you can move cats around, did not expect that.
Graphics reminds me on early PC games, cute. Sound is ok.
I liked that the game is relaxing.

Cute game and cute cats! I liked the attic idea, it was well implemented!
