I did have trouble keeping up with what was going on when trying to move. Maybe too much rotation / corrections happening.

\nCool concept for a game. Enjoying the fact that it works well on both mobile and desktop. I like the music you have in the game, it suits your theme and vibe well.
\nThe navigation is a little trippy and jerky; maybe smooth it out a little or allow the player to use WASD/arrows for movement. It wasn’t clear how or why I was scoring points. I know you only have 13kB the work, but it’d be really awesome to see an intro screen with some narrative, what the game is about, how to play, how to score etc. It would would make the gameplay much more immersive (ie. I think I was running past mice but I couldn’t distinguish based on the colouring; maybe some sound effects for when you catch mice).
\nThe artwork was very visually appealing, however you do lose a little of the magic in the jerky camera movements.
\nGreat job and looking forward to more developments.

\nThe controls with the mouse aiming and the rotation are something new. After a while, one gets used to it. It looks like if there was some kind of tactical movement planned, as the jump-path is divided into steps?
\nI really like the graphics and the ambient music.

I think with some more work and elements (more objects, rewarding if not touching the floor, etc.) it could be a really great game!

I got to a score of 36. Less sensitive controls would really help.
\n","games":["Chickpocalypse Meow"]},{"at":411367381,"author":"João Lopes","login":"lopis","gh":2715751,"url":"www.jlopes.dev","text":"The game is cute and mysterious. Maybe a little too dark to play in a bright room.\nI’m not quite sure what the goal is. Jumping on certain objects or rats gives me points. I can just keep jumping back and forth between two objects to farm points, but there’s no use for points anyway. I didn’t see any humans or dogs.
\nThe music is not working on Firefox at all. The camera movement made me a little dizzy. I wish I could turn it off.
\nThe design is interesting and could be a fun game with a bit more gameplay elements in it.
\n","games":["Meow Mountain"]},{"at":411790799,"author":"Magnus Lindh","login":"MagnusLindh","gh":26601704,"text":"Looks cool but I have no idea what the game is about. There is no sound in Firefox as already noted. In Chrome it works great and there is ambient music. Overall it is impressive but also pointless. Besides there are 3,5 kb left so perhaps the game is unfinished.

\nYour graphics style is really unique and fits the theme well
\nThe game was nice and easy to move around, so it was intuitive to play - which is always good
\nFor me there was no audio on FireFox

\nThe music and the cat movement works nicely on Chrome. Had some issues on Firefox.
\nI didn’t find any dog or human while playing, maybe they appear after a little while? There a solid core for a fun game here! Congrats!
