About Praise the cats, hooman.
A shelter simulation game made in 3 days for Ludum Dare 40. Even if the game was submitted to Jam instead of Compo, I still made everything all by myself.
TODO more explanations :)

I was quite surprised when cats started to eat poor granny alive! That's what they call a plot twist!
Loved tinkering with the systems. I never got super far, my best run I probably got through four shipments of food before I lost it. I wasn't very good at the multitasking I guess! My grandson has zero initiative, but at least he's obedient.
Something was sapping my money... I'd collect a bit for food, then get to the telephone, but then realize I had zero! Was I paying my grandson or something? Whatever that one piece was I missed it.
Really nice total package here - sick idea, strong implementation, fun time.
Oh a small technical note: I played the flash version in firefox because I ran into the following problem trying to launch the PC version on Windows 7: https://imgur.com/a/RNxtJ
The one frustrating thing was something taking my money and I couldn't figure out what it was, resulting in a number of trips with cash in hand to the phone, but then not enough to buy new items by the time I'd arrived.
All in all, excellent work!
cool graphics and music,
fun and stressfull, good work!
( there is an other game in the same idea, but with a more cute goal: [cute cats daily](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/$55308) )
The DLL issue should be fixed right now, please download the game again :)
And yeah, It was more than great. Great Job.
I don't usually like hectic gameplay like this, but it was surprisingly fun and nice. Very hard too. I like how cats always do something and create that chaos, that you can't keep track of it, but have to focus on one task at a time.
The gameplay is really smart and difficulty quite well balanced. I spent more than 1 (or 2) hour (!) playing it to finally buy all the possible stuff, then I bought dozens of cats and fishes boxes in a row. Then died fast but I felt that there was no game win :] I had some slowdowns while playing, and it gets slow if you have really too many cats but I think you can only die at this point.
Very good looking, interesting and fun entry. Awesome job !
Cheers !
I like the game but wish there were some more objectives beyond survival; at a certain point you end up with practically unlimited money and it becomes simply a matter of time before you can't fill the food bowls/get cans to the fridge fast enough and the cats end up insta-killing you.
Graphics are fantastic and dialogue is pretty funny, mechanics solid and smooth otherwise.
lol. I have no useful feedback, it was decent.
I hate cats more after playing this. :D
