I don't know if you've gone through something terrible to create this, and I'm truly sorry if that's the case, but next time, maybe try to include some context or environmental narrative in your game.","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1140568,"author_name":"Kveg","author_uid":"kveg","epoch":1744234258,"text":"Smooth animation there guy","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1140924,"author_name":"KALABHERS","author_uid":"kalabhers","epoch":1744240192,"text":"\u00ab13 butt-sliding cats out of 10\u00bb\n\nAt first, the game feels like pure chaos \u2014 I had no idea what to do in the browser version, but somehow couldn\u2019t close the tab. Then I downloaded the archive version and\u2026 still clueless! But running around in the gloom, accumulating a tail of red-eyed shadow cats stubbornly sliding on their butts is inexplicably fun. The character animation and eerie vibe are weirdly captivating.\n\nQuick guide for fellow confused players:\n\nMove with arrow keys (\u2190\u2191\u2192).\n\nDrink bottles by pressing DOWN \u2014 screen darkens, spawns a new shadow cat.\n\nTo drink again, hold SHIFT to burn energy, then press DOWN.\n\nEndgame: You lead a parade of creepy-yet-adorable freaks.\n\nJokes aside:\nThe game is bizarre, hilarious, and full of atmosphere, but I\u2019d love to see a more polished version \u2014 with clearer mechanics, a bit more context, or even a narrative thread. The devs clearly have a knack for crafting unique, memorable experiences, and it\u2019d be great to see that potential fully realized.\n\n","format":"md","likes":6,"spam":"N"},{"id":1141122,"author_name":"Isaac Hisey","author_uid":"isaac-hisey","epoch":1744244829,"text":"I did it.

So, what is published is a concept of a game that was created in a hour.\n\nEDIT: Also, the game character is a placeholder, it wasn't intended to specifically showcase the subject of alcoholism.
