The art style here is fantastic! From the animation on the title screen to the waves on the sea in-game, everything is just so well done...

What a fun and cozy game. Love the characters and how they crouch when looking for stones. It's cute! No highscores, no timers, just collecting 🥰 The graphics are gorgeous and the soundeffects are very well done. Especially the water sounds

I like the graphics and animations. Also that you can meow by pressing a button felt adorable! ^^

Is there a reason it requires Chrome to run in browser? I'm just curious.

I really really like all the different little art and animation effects here. Character is super cute. The procedurally generated rocks are mega-cool and it was really interesting to look for new ones. However, movement felt very slow, especially in the paw-grabbing segments, which could be a little frustrating. It's really cool though, I love that you included remappable controls as well! More games should come with a dedicated meow/woof button.

@cassowary just tested in with Firefox with user agent switched and it works just fine. I'm kinda philosophically opposed this dangerous extreme Chromium-only focus (remember IE6), but I gave it a try nonetheless.

Graphics/audio/mood are really well done. Animations are either too slow or my PC couldn't handle them (tried proper Chromium too, same results).

But nice relaxing experience.

Adorable! This game has personality, and hits right on theme. I agree with some other comments that things can be pretty slow, but perhaps I haven't met the game in the right chill slow mood that it demands.
I _love_ the long long arm (we made a game specifically about that last jam!), and __hecc yeah__ to the meow/woof button.
The music loop evoked pebbles, somehow, so good job. Could there have been foley rocks/sand sounds?
Last thing I can think of is that although the art is lovely, the colours, overall, could do with being more... tuned? Something to do with making the visuals cohere into the weather, the atmosphere, the vibes. Idk.
Cool game in any case
