Swipe at the mice. See how many you can get.

That’s a fun one! I wish the controls were a bit less cell-based, maybe if I could control the cat with my mouse and the mice would move more erratically that would be even more fun.

\n

Mobile controls feel a bit off. They work but the layout feels off, would be nicer if they were laid out like a D-pad.

I like this game! It’s simple and fun to play. However, on Android, I would had prefered if the arrow buttons were layed out in a way that we are used to, like how it is on keyboards or a virtural dpad.

\n

Thank you for making your game!

There ought to be some feedback when you kill a mouse. Especially when there’s two in the same cell, it’s hard to tell that anything happened.

\n

Nice and clean overall, I like it.

Blew my friggin mind!!! I felt like I was actually a cat.

A very simple game, and again another one that might have been so much better given time.

\n

Next time round take the time at least to tell the player what keys perform what actions in the description :)

Half the challenge was pressing the right buttons. They just weren’t where I expected then to be.

\n

I tried using code blocks to show where the buttons were vs where I expected them to be but the markdown renderer has some issues 😕

\n

I’m using Firefox on Android.

\n

The theme is on point: you’re a cat, you’re swiping pesky rats!

Cute, next time try to use the whole 13kb to add a little story and/or sound :)

The game in itself is pretty fun, but it lacks audio; and maybe some more challenge like a mode where your score decreases whenever you swipe an empty space. Good luck!

⚡ A quick little game — very easy to understand and well executed. Controls are smooth, which makes it satisfying to play.

Little game that fits the theme. On mobile, it’s a bit hard to control.

\n

I think you should add sound, some hit feedback, and a little challenge—for example, the cat should feel some tension. Hunger, cooldown time after a failed attack, etc., would be good additions.

The game is well done, but according to me it i’s a pity there is no sound :(

Nice little game, a bit short maybe.

\n

You could increase the urge to replay it more often, if you would add some more mechanics. Maybe something like placing bait, adding barriers, add a dog that chases the cat a bit,.. Something to fill the rest of the 13 kb ;-)

Interesting concept; it’s like reverse space invaders!

\n

I’d love to see some music and sound effects to make this game more immersive. It’d be cool to have levels as well, or just have the mice change their movements as the clock ticks down. Would also be great to see a score board or similar.

\n

Great that you have support for keyboard and on screen controls. Would be awesome to add in support for WASD keys too.

\n

Fun, lightweight graphics, and I love your promo artwork for it too.

What a great idea for a grid based game!

\n

You managed to keep exactly on theme which was great to see. In addition to the existing game play, I would love to see this game taken further in terms of adding music.

\n

If you ever want to develop it further, perhaps adding more complexity as the cat swipes more mice could be an idea. Think - ‘snake’ for example, where the snake gets longer and longer with each apple it eats, as well as speeds up.

\n

Nice one!

Your game plays well

\n

It’s easy to understand and play

\n

The graphics that you have look good

\n

I managed to swipe 55 mice in the time

\n

There was a little but too much key pressing for me, maybe being able to hold the swipe or having an auto swipe when you’re close by would be good
