Help needed!

\n

I will be away for a couple of days on a business trip. A responsible person is wanted to take care of my precious cat\nMaja. She is very affectionate but due to poor orientation skills she has a tendency to get lost. Important: Don’t\nforget to feed the cat!

\n

Controls

\n

Arrow keys or WASD and space.\nR to restart.

Congrats for the 3D graphics! Thanks for reading my WebGL guide!!\nCute and sounds good. Fun to play.

A fully animated 3d character in 3kb! Since the game stretches to window size with no regards to aspect ratio, at first it looked like on of those memes with overstretched Jason Statham and got a laugh out of me.

The game was not intended to be stretched. First I submitted it as a square window game, but it was rejected because it only filled half the screen. I stretched the game to fit the screen window but didn’t have time to fix the aspect ratio. It looked stupid but funny so I kept it. If you want to play the game as it was intended you can just resize your window to a square. Thanks!

Well done on all the 3D and music in under 13KB. I liked how the camera position gave a little additional sense of danger at times when I was walking towards it and trying navigate around the platforms and not fall down between them.

Thank you! The camera cannot rotate since I could not find out how to do it. This makes the game harder for sure. The gap between the platfors is small and not hard to jump over.

I do like the fact that you made a 3D game, but I feel maybe the movement or angle is a little challenging. I like the music, and the first level I had wasn’t so big, so it felt very fun to complete. I wish that the levels had a more uniform size, as my next level was SO hard.

Thanks for trying my game. It can be a little bit challenging to complete depending on how the scene is generated. Mostly the scene tend to be fairly easy. There is only one difficulty level but maybe I will add some more. The fixed camera angle makes the game harder too for sure. Happy you like the music by the way.

Your game looks cool, although very dark

\n

The 3D works well, and the models are good

\n

The music is well done, although very dark in tone for a cat feeding game, and slightly repetitive

\n

I liked the SPACE to jump and navigating the rooms

\n

I did accidentally push the cat off the edge of the level whilst I was trying to feed it, but it seemed ok and just reappeared

\n

I played a few times, but I didn’t ever work out how to feed the cat

I can understand if the game is percieved as dark. The models are strange and the music is not in some usual harmony. The cat feeding is mostly a pretext for searching the area, like the objective in most horror games. Unfortunately there is no food for the poor cat. Just walk up to it to complete the game. Adding the food can is on the to do list..

I really like the music! Impressive with the 3D!

\n

Each time you restart, you get a new level layout, right? That’s pretty nice!

\n

As others mentioned, the camera angle makes it a little tricky, but it’s also sort of fun to have to move carefully around with limited perspective. Maybe it’s mirroring Maja’s poor orientation skills.

\n

Oh, one other thing– if you fall off the stage, I think you’re just stuck down there forever, right? I guess it would be good to pop people back up on stage after falling.

\n

The graphics give me a slightly liminal feeling, haha. That combined with the sort of ominous music creates a cool, eerie tone for this game, like something is going to go wrong. I enjoyed it!

Thanks for the positive feed-back. The music is basic, since I had to program every note with TinyMusic. Not the most user friendly music tracker, but it is small. The game should restart when you fall off the platforms and yes - the world is procedurally generated. The game was intended as a horror game but I guess it is not that scary. If it is eerie, that is good enough.

Camera angle makes it a little tricky, but music and overall dark vibe matches perfectly. Impressive 3D view!

Happy you like the dark vibe. For sure, the fixed camera angle makes the game harder, but it also simplifies the game design :)

First off, great job fitting it all into the size limit! 3D graphics with animations, procedurally generated level, sound effects, music all there and working fine.

\n

I had some issues / glitches with the game; the aspect ratio is not correcting to different screen sizes, I got sometimes stuck on objects with no way to get unstuck and I wish I could just walk up the stairs without having to always jump.

\n

I didn’t really like the camera angle though, it made it hard to see where I’m going and the generated levels can vary a lot in difficulty (sometimes it spawned Maja literally in front of me). I also find the game a bit too simple, there is no obstacles or much challenge.

\n

The graphics are great and the music was really nice and moody, fitting the theme of the game well.

\n

Good job on making all this work within 13kb and good luck!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and happy you like the music and the graphics. The aspect ratio issue and the camera issue have both been mentioned before so I will no comment on that. Getting stuck can happen but you can always restart the game by pressing R.

Impressive 3D game! The music hits a little hard sometimes, maybe it’s too loud?

Yes, I agree, the music is not well balanced. There is an option to set the volume in TinyMusic so I will try to improve the dynamics. Thanks for commenting.

A 3d game with procedurally generated world is very impressive for 13kb! I realized that I can cheese the game by just restarting until I spawn really close to the cat haha. It was fun.

Yeah, it is not hard to finish the game if you are lucky with the level design. I suppose this is a point to improve.
