This is really really cute and fun! I love the game! The art style is amazing, I just wish I could play longer. I hope you can make it longer with more variations, I'd totally play it!

Very fun and addicting game! I love the that you can see when the next train is coming, that really helps. Is there any use for the coins? The graphics are cute, i like the cat. The game could use punchiness in terms of audio, but otherwise very great!

Nice little game, and a cute cat on top of that :)
After you get the core gameplay, the game feels way too easy though. Could really use some obstacles that force you to get into tricky situations.

Fun game! I like how you can see which trains are coming and the graphics are very nice!

It would be cool, if you decide to build on the game, to have the cat face some other challenges or minigames throughout their journey. I also wonder if maybe coins could be replaced with something like cat treats and chests with food bowls? :smiley_cat:

Great work!

@crocidb Thank you! Our original idea was to make a (simplyfied) replic of Subte A, a subway from Buenos Aires city, with all the stations it has. But sadly, we didn't had the time to make it. We still plan to do so in the future!

@gamejmunk Thanks for the feedback! Your final score is equal to the amount of coins you collected, that's its use for now, but we're planning to add skins for the cat that you can buy with those coins 😊

@doccrazy @robeecodes We already planned some ways to increase the difficulty and add more variety to the game but we weren't able to add them yet. Thank you for your feedback and ideas!

Awesome game! really fun simple to understand concept, with some cute art assets! I found myself continuously trying to risk it for more coins as i get deeper into the tunnel haha

Great game! I really like the artwork.
I can imagine how much fun it would be with various train tracks all over the level!

What a cute game! But it's so sad to see my player character get run over by a train (┬┬﹏┬┬) It's simple, short and sweet. The artwork is charming! I like that you added a little reward at each station and that I can see when the next train will be.

This cat is adorable! I like the art work and game design. It's sad that I can't catch the mouse, oh well...

neat game, neat cat. I think there might be some improvement space in the coin collection. such as putting them in some more risky point?

It took me some time to realize the dots on the top left corner represents when the train will come and each dot represents 2 seconds instead of 1, hope there could be more variations added to the main gameplay as the current gameplay is not really challenging.
