Oh, what a game of such a very, very ultra cute cat!
I played it while writhing in agony because the round and chubby deformation of the cat is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
As for the gameplay, it was difficult to distinguish between the two, but that made the joy of clearing the game that much greater.
I was so happy to see a picture of your cat at the end!
The idea of combining music with cats is very adorable, and the overall coordination is excellent. It is very friendly to those who enjoy music.
Love it! Avid music and cat fan myself :)
Nice one. Cat and music is a perfect match
omg is that the meowsic keyboard! really fun and cute game
Thank you!
As a cat person I love it. The art style is simple yet captivating!
thanks!
Love it! The idea of matching the sounds works, the art style is clean and simple.
Suggestions
It could have been nice to let the user understand how the sound they pick is different (was it close or far?), and enabling them to hear the cat that actually would have matched.
And even though it's clearly written to click on the bottom right once your selection is done, i ended being a bit lost for a moment after selecting a cat (I was in fullscreen).
Thanks nrodriguez for your suggstions. I made the checker (right bottom arrow) larger. Hope this helps with the gameplay.
That's unusual and fun experience!
Would also cool to hear piano sounds at the end to hear how meows matches with original piano sounds. Maybe even hightlight right and wrong answers!
Overall I like it! Feel free to give feedback on our submission too!
Thanks for playing, MrJackphil!
