Played in VR - unfortunately I think I ran into a bug with the movement, when I pressed forward on the thumbstick it kept moving me side-to-side, so it was hard for me to play through the game. I was able to slay a dog though!

Response to Shauna’s response: I’m also using a Quest 2 with the Meta browser; I tried playing again and the controls seem to work fine at first, but as I keep going and my orientation changes, then the controls seem to not work as intended. Perhaps I’m not understanding how to use them though!

Oh no! That’s terrible. Would you mind sharing what device / browser it was? I only tested on Quest 2; Quest and Wolvic browsers. Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the comp.

I played it in VR and on Desktop. In both versions the controls worked fine for me (Quest 3)\nNice game concept, a bit more variance would be nice to have.\nAlso, if you would add the intro music during gameplay, that might add to the atmosphere of the game.

\n

Overall:good job, kudos for VR

This was good fun! I found the motion too much for me in VR, but really enjoyed playing on desktop.

The level design is fine but the arena is mostly empty. This is a challenge with the 13 kb limit, I know. Still, some more things to collect and more sounds would have been nice.

\n

Why is it only possible to rate WebXR controls when the game is perfectly playable on desktop?

Great game with a great concept! I am able to clip through the wall though, and holding the claws out would make me invincible, even if i am not facing the dogs, it can kill it.

I had clipping issues and couldn’t navigate properly in VR on Quest. The concept is great though. I’d love to play it again after navigation bugs are fixed.

Would have been good if neither the cat nor the dogs could move through the walls. Defeating the dogs was a bit too easy.

\n

But overall simple but nice!

\n

Best looking claws in the competition!

The idea is quite original, although I found the controls a bit difficult to handle. I also think there might be a bug, since after going through all the mice, one of them stayed marked and the game kept sending me back to that spot even though nothing was there. The puzzle concept itself is really nice and could be a lot of fun if the controls were improved.

You’ve got a solid foundation here with classic first-person maze navigation and it’s for sure on theme with a cat collecting mice running away from dogs! The HUD minimap was genuinely helpful for navigation, and I felt real tension when being chased by dogs. I struggled with unclear objectives; I reached what seemed like the central goal after collecting 3 mice but it wasn’t the exit, which left me confused about what I was supposed to do. The graphics were quite simple even for this competition—adding some texture variation or lighting could help. The thumbstick locomotion scheme can cause vr sickness but it works as a starting point. The walking sounds add nice audio feedback.

I enjoyed playing your game

\n

I appreciated the minimap, otherwise I’m sure I would have gotten lost

\n

It felt a bit of an advantage to the dogs chasing you that they can go through the walls!

\n

Was there an end to the game or did each new level have the same layout but with one extra mouse/dog compared to the previous one?

\n

The dead dog skull appearing right in front of you and not letting you see if another dog was chasing you was a little distracting

Locomotion is motion sickness inducing and how to exit the maze was not clear

An interesting game to play that reflects this year’s theme well. I would suggest improving the controls and adding a teleport feature to make navigation easier. Introducing more varied sounds would also help make the experience more dynamic. In terms of graphics, the game could benefit from having a wider variety of backgrounds and textures to enrich the visual experience. Overall, it’s a good and enjoyable game.
