You used to be a predator, but years of living at home have dulled your skills. Your owner will be back any minute, and the house is full of pests. Take care of them if you want to keep enjoying your cozy home life!

I enjoyed launching the ball to knock out the mice and catch them. Maybe I have missed it but I would have appreciated a “replay” button when you fail a level. It was fun to play, great job!

Once I figured out what the balls were for gameplay became slightly easier, although still challenging. Great sprites and fitting audio. The narrative hook is simple but effective – just enough to explain the what and the why.

I had no idea the balls could be thrown the first time I played until after I saw someone else’s comment, that made it slightly easier to play subsequent times but still a lot of frantic chasing around and killing things.

\nFun arcade style gameplay. Feels very frantic! The mechanic with the ball was pretty creative, although I found it a little hard to aim with the mouse while moving around with the keyboard (maybe because I’m playing on a trackpad)
\nAnnoying nitpicky comment, but I would have made the UI in the top right a bit bigger/easier to see. I actually didn’t notice the timer for the first level and a half
\nIn any case, fun game! Well done!

I think the gameplay could be better, as just running around the mice was more frustrating than fun.\nThe images you used lack cohesion, there’s a mix of styles. I have no idea what the red balls were for or if they had any effect.\nKudos on the music and sound effects.
\nedit: Oh, now I understood the balls. That’s pretty clever. But again, the movement of the ball doesn’t fit the whole pixel art aesthetic or the rest of the design.

\nI like the mix of yarnball throwing to knock the mice out, and the frantic chasing of those little bastards!
\nHad fun playing, thx!

\nOne of the best interpretation of the theme. Also, brilliant gameplay and cute graphics. I liked it a lot.

The controls are decent, but I would have liked to see full keyboard controls too (with throwing the ball in the direction you are moving). The game becomes a bit repetitive since the level (room) is the same and the goal is the same each time. Would have been nice to have some kind of variation, perhaps different rooms?
