Pet-A-Cat (or get a scratch…) is a fast-paced, whack-a-mole style game where your goal is simple - pet as many cats as you can! But be careful - some cats aren’t meant to be touched.

I liked how fast paced it was. I do wish there had been a few more types of cats, maybe with some kinds of special abilities.

\nI think if you add animated cats walking around the screen, a few power ups and mechanics, this could turn into something like Cursor Blade but for petting cats.

Anyway, the game is very cute and easy to learn. I like the sound effects. Thank you very much for making your game! May God bless.

\nGreat gameplay, I love the style. Was very intuitive, and nice gameplay progression: starting slow, building up, more cats etc. I like that you can earn lives back.
\nThe sound effect was interesting, sounded more like a hungry kitten and made me laugh every time. I’d love to see some music, that would make it more addictive than it already is.
\nA leaderboard would be fun too. Great job on an awesome game. I really do like the sourcing implementation however; ie. if you have lost a life and pat the heart eyes cat, you get a life back, but if you’ve got full lives, then the heart eyes cat gives you extra points. LOVE IT.

I noticed that in the faster levels (I think level 7+?), I died very quickly when I started clicking on eyes that turned red, I actually could not tell the difference so I wasn’t sure whether I was missing a subtle signal not to click or whether it is just random and I got an unlucky string.
\nEither way my high score so far is 780!

\nThe zzfxM-Meow sounds are amazing!

\nThe graphics are simple yet effective
\nThe music is good, but a little short loop
\nThe meow sound is fun at first
\nEasy enough to play and understand, I played on desktop, but could see how it would be even better on touchscreen

\nFantastic job on this! I absolutely love the progression feel and the controls. The sounds and graphics are great as well.
\nThis is a very strong contender for the competition!
\nI recorded a video review for all the games here so that you can see my initial reaction while playing, which is often quite helpful from a user experience perspective. https://www.youtube.com/live/jl6pC4OnVJA?si=hadQmN9JZB93hDUM
\nGood luck in the competition and good job!
