I'd have two potential suggestions:\n- Either make the game shorter, or put in more variation to keep the player entertained (e.g. introduce different types of cats that need to be petted in different ways, or different tasks to type the essay).\n- Make it possible to lose. Right now, it seems like you beat the game without petting the cats, so there's not much motivation to actually pet them. With a few changes, I can imagine this being a really fun hectic game where you have to multitask between lots of cats.\n\nI really liked the cat sprites and sound effects, and the polish was also quite good (like the hearts that appear on the cats), but I would have liked a little more variation in gameplay. Overall, nice work!

I didn't have the heart to let any of them down so I never found out what happens when you don't pet them! I wish that there was a sound the moment they wanted more pets so I'd know when to get up.

I would have liked if the cats were a little more intrusive to what you were doing - I felt like I could just sit there and hit the keyboard until the door knocked and then just click away at everything in between.

I liked the sprite variety and I lol'd when I saw the 4th cat's design. There was also another cat that sounded a bit like a goat(?) when petted that caught me off guard.
