BLINK: for five seconds he stops walking to the dot. If he can see it and it is a metre or more away, he is simply there - and whatever sits within 40 cm of where he lands breaks on arrival. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats

ANTIGRAVITY: he leaves the floor and holds 30 cm off whatever surface the dot is on - a wall, a shelf, the underside of a table. He banks toward it instead of riding it, breaks whatever he flies into, and when the five seconds are up he drops straight down. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot of a bright tiled kitchen and dining room: the ANTIGRAVITY banner reads 3.0 seconds, an orange tabby stands in the middle of the floor lit by an orange aura with the red laser line running to him, green chairs and broken pieces are scattered around a long table, and the receipt on the right totals $1,702 with TOY CAR greyed out. The timer reads 0:50 and the yarn count 727.

Two point seven seconds of BIG TROUBLE left, $7,922 on the receipt, and the sofa is in slabs across the floor. At eight times his size he walks in a straight line to the dot and the furniture is not consulted. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot: the BIG TROUBLE banner reads 2.7 seconds while a pink sofa lies shattered into slabs across a tiled kitchen floor, toy blocks scattered around it and a giant white paw filling the top of the frame; the receipt on the right totals $7,922 with several lines greyed out, and the timer reads 0:44.

GROUND SLAM: 1.2 m straight up and back down in 0.28 seconds. Whatever he lands on breaks, furniture included, and the rest of the room gets a rattle just under the speed that breaks glass, so pictures come off the walls and everything else survives. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

Fifty-one seconds left and the receipt is still only $160, because so far all he has done is walk along the back of the sofa. You only ever control the dot; what he does about it is his business. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot of a living room: a ginger tabby stands on the back of a pink sofa, a coffee table with a laptop beside it, dumbbells and toy blocks scattered across the tiled floor and a red laser line running along it; the receipt on the right totals $160, the timer reads 0:51 and the yarn counter 724.

A jump gets him 1.5 m up. Put the laser dot higher than that and he runs up the wall for another 2.5, swats at it on the way past, and comes back down on his claws. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

Six tenths of a second of ACID VOMIT left and the jet is still going. Anything loose it lands on dissolves three seconds later; the furniture just ends up stained. The two greyed-out perfumes on the receipt are already gone. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot: the ACID VOMIT banner reads 0.6 seconds while a striped cat on a cat tree sprays a wide green jet across a wrecked room of broken chairs and scattered debris; the receipt on the right totals $525 with two PERFUME lines greyed out, and the yarn counter reads 736.

Three seconds of MAGNETOE left and the lamp has already left the sideboard. Everything loose within two metres gets the same pull toward him, so a laptop arrives as fast as a mug, and the receipt is at $1,103. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot: the MAGNETOE banner reads 3.0 seconds, a tall lamp lifts off a wooden sideboard in a bright kitchen with sparkles and a WOW! burst behind it; the receipt on the right totals $1,103 and the yarn counter reads 728.

One POOP SPRAY on a grey floor lays around 1,500 brown marks in a second and a half, and a mark that lands on a mark merges into it and grows, so the floor ends up blotchy rather than speckled. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

Put a fire within 1.7 m of him and he bolts: he runs about 2.6 m, then turns round and watches it burn from there. The fire keeps spreading whether he watches or not. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

ANTIGRAVITY: he flies straight at the laser dot and stops about 30 cm short of whatever it is sitting on, a wall, a shelf or the underside of a table, then swats at it. He eases in and banks rather than riding the dot, and anything he flies into breaks. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

He only chases a dot he can see. 180 degrees of vision, walls and furniture block it, and if it vanishes for more than 0.6 seconds he stares at the spot for 3, looks around for 6, and gives up at 10. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

Eight seconds left, $3,684 on the receipt and the kitchen already on fire, and the game offers a laser that breaks things by itself or a cat who stains whatever he pees on. The greyed-out lines on the receipt are the things he has already broken. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot, 8 seconds left: two cards over a blurred kitchen, BLUE LASER (do damage yourself using the blue laser, 5 seconds) and UNCONTROLLED URINATION (cat stains everything he pees on, 5 seconds); a fire burns at the back of the room, the receipt on the right totals $3,684 with several lines greyed out, and the yarn counter reads 653.

33 seconds left, $1,947 on the receipt, and the pick is SPEEDY CAT or BIG TROUBLE: a faster cat, or one the size of an elephant walking through the furniture. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot, 33 seconds left: two cards over a blurred room, SPEEDY CAT (faster reaction and movements, 5 seconds) and BIG TROUBLE (elephant cat size, 5 seconds); the receipt on the right totals $1,947 and the yarn counter reads 643.

18 seconds left and the game deals FIRE CAT or BLUE LASER. Three seconds of a burning cat, or five of a laser dot that breaks things by itself. The grand piano is right there. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
In-round screenshot, 18 seconds left: two cards over a blurred kitchen, FIRE CAT (flammable cat spreading fire, 3 seconds) and BLUE LASER (do damage yourself using the blue laser, 5 seconds); the receipt on the right totals $1,443 and a grand piano sits in the corner.

For three seconds he's on fire and completely calm about it (the test take holds it longer). Everything he brushes against catches, sofas included, and nothing sends him running: he is the fire. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

Nine of him at once, and only one of them cares about the laser dot. The other eight each pick the nearest unbroken thing nobody else is after and go for it. #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

The sprinklers only run for five seconds. Every fire goes out in steam and every bulb in the room bursts, then the alarm goes quiet and the room can burn again. The puddles stay. (Test room, alarm and water triggered early for the clip.) #indiedev #gamedev #cats #unity3d

MAGNETOE ignores weight: everything loose within 2 m gets the same 7 m/s² pull toward him, capped at 4 m/s, so heavy things arrive as fast as light ones. The furniture stays where it is.

Follow for more powers before it lands on Steam.

LION STRENGTH doesn't just break what he brushes past, it throws it: every piece leaves at 8 m/s straight away from him and 3 m/s up. One walk along a bench of jars and the shards end up across the bench and the floor.

KITTENS in numbers: three cats at 45% size, circling him 55 cm out, a full lap every 2.4 seconds. Any loose thing their paws touch breaks; furniture is off-limits to them. When he jumps they ride along and break nothing until he lands.

SPEEDY CAT is four numbers doubled for five seconds: run speed, acceleration, turn rate and animation speed. The jumps keep their own timing, so a leap looks exactly like the normal cat's, only the running in between is twice as fast.

A vase, a mug and a glass on a 45 cm grey table. All he needs is for the laser dot to land on each one.

Five seconds left, $5,269 on the receipt, and he's still halfway up the cabinet after the dot.

#indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #cats
An isometric living room with five seconds left on a red timer. An orange tabby cat claws his way up the side of a tall orange cabinet toward the red laser dot on top, where broken grey pieces already lie. A potted plant lies tipped over on the tiles and the receipt reads $5,269.

Everything in the room runs at 30% speed for five seconds, except the cat. He keeps his own clock, so whatever he knocks over drifts down in slow motion while he's already moving on.
