…is a simple endless arcade platformer action thingy. You control a black cat who has to keep eating otherwise a single hit by a red-nosed slime can kill you.
\nThe goal is to get as many points as possible. The following actions give you points:
\n(Note: Z and X can be different on non-qwerty keyboards, but they are always the keys you can find above your left alt)
\nThis game was really fun to play once I got the hang of it. It starts off a bit hard which is not always the worst. Made it more of a challenge. Would have been cool to see more of the black cat come into the game. I really like the title screen at the start felt really polished game and I loved how much art you got into. All in all an amazing game well done!

\nThe tongue-grab is very satisfying. Feels very “sticky.” Yes, those were weird sentences, and I regret typing them.
\nI like the hunger mechanic– it’s like an ever-decreasing health bar. Do you try to stomp an enemy to get more points, or eat the enemy to increase your health? It creates a nice strategic element!
\nOne nitpick– despite that strategy element, I find myself always eating enemies, because the hunger bar runs out pretty fast, and the bounce from the jump often sends me into unseen enemies above. I wonder… if the whole screen were zoomed out a bit (like you could see more levels above), if stomping enemies could be more viable? Just a thought…
\nOverall, very fun and addictive, though!

\nA few notes/suggestions:
\nSuch beautiful graphics! And the interactions all feel juicy and weighty, it’s an absolute delight to play. I wish there was gamepad support.
\nScored 17360 on the first try, but I’ll be back to beat that later :)

\nLoved the game’s pixel art and animations. My highest score is 950.
Nice polished pixel-graphics, and I like the various enemy- (or better: prey-) actions. Stomping them is equally funny to using the frog-tongue :)
\nI had fun playing it!

\nI felt more like a frog than a cat though.
\nI would have loved if the scrolling didnt go so fast, but maybe it would have been too easy otherwise.

\nI found the gameplay engaging and challenging, it was fun to play. The graphics style is clean but unoriginal, and the sounds fit the style of the game. Some jaunty music would’ve been nice.

The text around the screen were a bit confusing and hard to read during the game. The gameplay is fun and fast paced, but becomes a bit samey after a while.
