Screen Door Panic!
by Adam Hartling - XenosNS
for Ludum Dare Jam 31

It's a beautiful summer day. The warm breeze is coming in through the screen door as flies buzz outside.
Unfortunately, your cat is being mischievous. She keeps trying to claw at the screen!
If she rips the screen, the flies will get in and eat your lovely bowl of fresh fruit!
Instructions
Click on the cat's paws to swat her away from the screen
If she rips the screen, repeatedly click on the tear to fix it
If any flies get in the tears, click on the flies to swat them away from your bowl of fruit
If the flies eat all the fruit, the game is over

Cool idea but its really easy to camp the bottom of the screen. You may want to consider adding something near the top to make the player not always just sit at the bottom.

12400. I was just thinking that it wasn't increasing in challenge when all of a sudden there were cat paws everywhere!!! Pretty fun and innovative. Oh and uh...it certainly takes place on one SCREEN. I see what you did there. Oh yes. I see what you did.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing! :D

Hilarious confusion, very innovative, but a little impossible to manage eventually. Like it!

That darn cat! Cute and enjoyable experience, a little tougher on touchpad vs. mouse as swatting the cat seemed to require dragging and not just clicking :D

Hi there. Like the cat miaow/mew. Game is basically impossible once there's a hole in the screen door... too much to do. Needs some balance work. Good job!

Thanks everyone for the comments and for playing!
I agree it could use more work, especially balancing. Only had 4-5 hours of free time that weekend to work on it but wanted to participate regardless.

20,800! Man, those cat paws are long! I like how as the game progresses you have to balance between letting some flies through to keep focusing on the cat paws or it just cascades in difficulty.

One suggestion: try to make the flies go through the screen once they reach the center of the tear.

I almost went with a screen door theme, but couldn't think of a good place to bring it. But you did! Excellent job, I found this game actually really funny, mostly the choice of sound.
