Don't Kill My Cat by Local Minimum

[raw]
made by Local Minimum for LD 44 (JAM)

toxo.png I really suffered this theme and I'm not new to making something out of a hostile theme.

I've done more than 15 LDJAM straight.

This one got to me and from that feeling this very concise game/experience was born.

It's about my cat... her life, your life and the economics of you playing this game.

It's either a work of genius or utter bullshit, and I can't decide which.

A bit weird, but also pretty fun. Well done.

I guess life is a game that you can never stop playing ;)

I enjoyed learning facts about your cat, but some more reward than that would have been great, like if instead of just holding the mouse button you had to continually stroke her, and that made her purr.

I didn't realize I had to "hold" the button down. I love Toxo!

Aww this was clever. I made it 2 minutes in. It would have been nice to say "hold the left mouse button" instead of "press the left mouse button" as the later lead to me single clicking and having to refresh the page in confusion 3 or 4 times at first.

I'm happy I spent time with your kitty. Mine inspired for my game and I know what it means. I'm always curious about this kind of interactive adventures and I think it had its value what you have done. I traded minutes of my life to gain understanding of your bond with her. And it was a fair exchange.

I at first did not understand I had to hold the mouse, but after that it was fine. It is not a very large game, but it was still good to play it. Recommended for all cat lovers.

I must say that I feel cheated . It said press the left mouse button, I did. I then blinked and it said I killed the cat; didn’t get the “don’t let go” message till after I let go

Interesting concept, you feel the need to play along and go to the end of the story.

![cat.png](///raw/e7c/2/z/24178.png) I was like stuck in this screen so I stopped hold the mouse. I've had the final screen I think. It was a bit harsh to understand at the beginning but it's a pretty good idea ! It's a match with the theme.

19 secs in my first run. As an idle game enthusiast I am embarrassed by my inability to play a true idle game. Forgive me.

I did play it again and held it for a while. I always know when I play a @local-minimum game I'm gonna get a special experience :)

I'm a compulsive clicker so I clicked a few times initially when it asked for me to click, so sorry Toxo. Replayed it again for the "true end". The theme also finally "clicked" at the end. Needs some music for more feels, but it is certainly an interesting way of doing an idle clicker.
