I really felt like I was a mouse. The scale of everything was done perfectly. I also laughed at the "honey I am home" VO. Really solid entry

If the hoard of cats weren't so incompetent, this would make for a great stealth game! Love the concept.

Nice stealth game! I really like the low perspective, you definitely feel small.

One of the most enjoyable games I've seen in a game jam format! Well done. I think the number of cats was a bit too large, and they struggled to keep up. That said, this was really fun to play and I like the humor!

The scale of the mouse really worked, also man this house/office has a ton of cats.

This is funny, we had quite a similar concept for our game but we went with 2D instead of 3D. Great job on the game!

In short, the music fits completely out of tune with the atmosphere, the sound of eating cheese is annoying, the lack of fluidity in the audio manifests itself here.
The graphics are downright gorgeous and especially those random shadow casting or light falling. Cats do not take damage despite standing still.
For a game made in less than 72h I am full of admiration and appreciation because you can clearly see what time was spent on. All in all it's enjoyable to play and I guess that's the point. This is so far the only game in which I spent more than 15 minutes. Well done and good luck.

Loved "Epic Fantasy Final Boss Battle Music" when cats are chasing. Overall pretty fun game, a little bit of stealth, a little bit of intense running with some cheesy humour.
I wished there were more ramps and placed to run. Getting on the couch, table or climbing the cords of the TV to reach higher places. But I understand well time constraints.
The Roach is a scumbag :(

An emotional story about a mouse locked in a relationship of narcistic abuse by a never-satisfied cockroach. Really good take on the theme, I wish there is more to it, but only because I liked the premise so much.

I enjoyed that. The movement felt good and the sense of scale worked well.
I laughed at the eating cheese sound effect.
The extra touches around the map such as the TV and pictures and the home sweet home sign were a nice addition, though I would have liked more things to climb to explore the map further.
The cats were quite incompetent and not even remotely a threat.

Funny one!
