Welcome to Purrfect Stack, a short game developed for Ludum Dare 55 where the goal is to summon quirky kitties to help you build a cat tower.

As you draw cards and summon new elements for your tower, the goal is to defy physics for as long as you can while you build a tower as tall as possible. You lose when your poor cat tower tumbles down.

Meet our cast of whimsical cats, enjoy the ride and have fun! Thank you for playing! 🐱

Make sure to read the controls before playing, we didn't have time to add them in-game

Very nice graphics, the cat artworks are amazing. the game is chill and relaxing, tho I personally prefer these kind of physic based games to have a bit of a time pressure. Also the LD page is beautiful. Great work!

Loved this puzzle game! I wasn't sure about the objective, was it to go the highest possible or to stack the maximum number of cats ? Loved the art!

The game is very cute, fun to play, and overall very relaxing! Who would have though that stacking cat would be so fun ? I got a tower of 41 cats!

I have learned that this game is adorable and I have also learned that I am terrible at stacking cats.

Really great concept and fun game! The whole vibe of it is so very good. Really liked that you chose to introduce each cat the first time you play it. It's a really nice touch.

I usually try to leave some kind of critical/improvement ideas on these comments, but I have no notes this time around. I really just thought this was great all around. It was one of the better games I've played thus far.

If you ever decide to add the mechanics you ran out of time for, I'm in.

So many cats! All beautifully illustrated. I reached 12.6 ach with 67 cats. I thought my tower was strong, but I was mistaken. Each new cat having an introduction was a great touch. I also really like how the water was animated, it's so effective! The physics felt fair as well. Overall, a very well-polished experience!

Lots of fun, I had a wonderful 19 ach tower, the physics are also nice to play with (should have stabilised my Duchess with some Purrfect Balls, dammit)

The Tricky Towers style is my weak point, with more shapes represented by cats in different poses.
Great idea!

Damn, I didn’t even click on the link before I couldn’t help but want to give it a full 5 star rating! It’s like a super cute cat version of Tetris, how could I not play it! And I think the cat tower is really full of joy when it falls down, and people can’t help but play it again hahahaha. By the way, I absolutely love your cats! Can you make stickers or models for sale? ! !

REALLY adorable! The illustration work is amazing and I loved seeing all the info cards for the different cats. The water animation was really cool - would love to see splash added for when the cats fall into the ocean :D

The only problem for me is the size of the game which is very small, it could be bigger, otherwise, the sound, the art, the concept is very solid, well done!

There are so many cat games, but yours is one I'll remember. I like tetris very much, and I often play different versions of it. But combining tetris and cats is perfect. The only thing is that the physics seemed strange to me, but it's still fun

A very cute cat game! It's interesting and comfortable to build a tower with cats.

Great job! It feels surprisingly fair compared to most physics based games I played. Small mistakes are not punished immediately by the whole tower falling. And of course art is gorgeous!

I love your take on the theme !

It's always a good first impression when the start menu is animated :)

Very cute artstyle ! Had a lot of fun stacking cats and competing with my friend.
(Using the scroll wheel to move the camera to move would have been more ergonomic in my opinion)
Very cool game over all!

Nice little towers game about cats. I like visuals.

Really loved the artstyle and wordplay! Very cute. I also love how many different cats there are to choose.
~The only thing I'd say I didn't love is that when the tower gets too big it gets hard to place the cats. Great game nonetheless, and quite an impressive thing to pull off in so little time.~ Edit: Nevermind, I just saw you can move the camera. No criticism then.

A tower of cats?

Only in one game!

Beautiful art! The game itself doesn't have much new, but they did a great job with it.

Congratulations!
