For eons, no cat has managed to grasp the elusive Crimson Dot. Now a wise elder challenges you: do you have what it takes to join the Order?
\nGuide your laser pointer as an eager kitten gives chase, but strategy is key. Watch your cat’s stamina—push too hard and they’ll collapse from exhaustion. Rest too long and boredom will lull them to sleep. Feed them, let them nap, and find the perfect balance between happiness and endurance.
\nAs your kitten grows into a swift-eyed hunter, the challenge intensifies. The race against time begins. Ascension awaits.
\nFunny idea, but I felt the cat was having more fun than me, as I didnt have much challenges.\nI enjoyed the storm map.
\nIf there were more items in the map to interact with it would had been way better.

A few more fun items and challenges to play with the cat would be nice additions. Faster sleep cycle too.
\nA cute game.

We certainly had a few more things planned, but of course had to trim them down to fit. Tip: you can get through the game without sleeping on the couch. Best time I’ve seen so far is 2:41.

The music was catchy and I ended up moving the kitten and then the cat in time to the music. I liked the idle cat animation! Some more challenges in the levels would definitely add a little more.

I must have been doing something wrong, did manage to finish but it took 9:05 (looking at the other comments, this appears to be a world record for worst play!)
\nYou did a good job of incrementally introducing the various mechanics. Was never a point when I felt overwhelmed. And the music is just great.

As for gameplay - small mouse movements make one bar fill up and another bar stay mostly filled up. It doesn’t feel like anything is happening most of the time.

We probably needed to explain it a little better in the about section. The goal is to see how fast you can complete it, and avoiding the couch plays a large part in that. There are ways to regain stamina and continue evolving without sleeping. There were a lot of subtle game mechanics that probably go unnoticed in a competition setting. The original idea was sort of like a Tamagotchi, but we had to cut a few things out to fit.

\nLaser pointers: enabling us to remotely bring chaos to catowner-households since the late 80th, hehehe :-)
\nNice music and animation of the cat. I would add some more objectives than evolving by keeping happiness high. Maybe something (vases, etc.) to destroy with the remotely steered cat?

The graphics are simple but do the job (kudos for the cool looking cutscenes). I really liked the background music, it gives it a special atmosphere. The gameplay was a little lacking, though. On my trackpad, if I move slowly my finger in circle, I can maintain the right balance to get both stamina and happiness to go up until I finish the game. Overall, it is a great game but it might need a better game mechanic or at least a better balance so one move does not allow to go to the end of the game.
