Super cute! I loved the little hint descriptions of each cat and the way they all have their own meow! It's very much in the spirit of Hidden Folks to encourage you to click on every one. Donated a fiver to my local shelter in appreciation. Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
Oh my gosh Bubbles gave me so much trouble, I really had to zoom in just to find that rascal but other than that it was absolutely adorable for such a short game. There isn't much story but for such a simple game I think that's fine especially with its simplistic style. Great game and I hope your gf loves it as well!!
Sorry for the very late reply. I'm glad you liked it! But I feel that the game is too similar to Hidden Cats for me to release the source, I wouldn't want anyone using my source to actually rip off and make money off that game. Sorry!
Thank you! The wobbly lines come from a modified sprite shader I wrote. It samples the sprite image pixels with a noise offset. I've been thinking about posting the source already, I should probably get to doing that.
That sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't have a Mac myself, I had a friend try it out on his and it worked fine in Chrome, Firefox & Safari. Make sure you've got the latest updates first. Something you can try that might give me some kind of error-message is if you, in Firefox, right-click on the page and choose "Inspect Element". The page should split and show info on the right, at the bottom should be an error log. Reply with any error messages you have there and I'll see what I can figure out.
I'm sorry to say that it might be that the graphics card on your machine doesn't work with WebGL 2.0. Could be the drivers but if they're up to date already there isn't much I can do to help you out sadly :( Maybe try it out on someone elses mahine?
I know it was a birthday present, but I hope you consider expanding the project. It's a really cool way to raise awareness and participation at shelters.
Thank you! I really enjoyed hearing your personal stories about your animals, it matched very well with the game :)
About expanding it, right now I'm working on other things but maybe sometime in the future I'll go back and add another level or so. Or atleast add some music.
We're glad you enjoyed it, we both watched your playthrough. We noticed that it wasn't obvious that you can click the cat names to show some hint-text so we were impressed you found them all by just looking at the silhouettes!
Ah, yeah, I had no idea there were hints, that's cool though! Maybe in the tutorial it might help to mention it? But besides the bush cat, it was challenging enough but not too hard. =]
The tutorial actually does mention it as you have to click one of the cats and show its info-box to proceed but it seems that it wasn't clear enough :)

the game is super cute and super fun, but the text is INFURIATINGLY slow, and there is no way to skip
Them: "relaxing music" Me:
(i was not affiliated with the making of this song at all, it's just what I like to listen to.)Sososo cute, appreciate the various poses the kitties are drawn in and all of the different meows!

based on a true story ? o.O

I now have a hate love relationship with Bubbles. Great game though!
<3AAAA SO CUTTTEEE♥︎♡☺︎
a. dor. a. ble. :3
I wish there was more but this was SUPER cute! 10/10 would play again
Love it!
Are you sharing the source code? Would love to learn how to do a game like this one. Or even maybe sell the source code?
Thanks anyway.

i love cat's voice!!! so cute
THIS IS SO CUTE! Please add more : ) i had so much trouble finding the bubbles cat omg
Thanks for the kind words! Bubbles sure is one of the trickier ones, he's got a bit of a unique view :)
Super cute and addictive, wish there was more!
Thanks! Great playthrough, you really are a cat finding master! :)
I've put the wobbly line shader into its own sample project that I've uploaded, it's free to use for anyone who wants it!
Very cool game good sir! Wonderfully designed too.
How did you achieve the 'smearing' effect on the environments? Is it done as post-processing for some layers or is it a shader?
Thank you! The wobbly lines come from a modified sprite shader I wrote. It samples the sprite image pixels with a noise offset. I've been thinking about posting the source already, I should probably get to doing that.
As mentioned above, I finally took some time to actually put the shader in a small sample project, it's available here if you're interested.
Thank you for following-up! I will check that out soon. I'm curious to see how that fares with pixel art projects.
I can't play with Chrome or Firefox (Mac Os), I don't see the illustrations, just violet square or silhouettes of the elements.

There aren't error messages, but lots of warning.
Maybe I found: Warning: Unsupported graphics API WebGL 2.0
So I can play the game, it runs, instead the images are hidden. Thank you anyway

I know my macOs is old. Maybe yes I will try it on another computer. Thank you! I love Hidden cat's graphic, I saw it in a video gameplayer :) bye
Pretty cool. I like the voices and sound effects. All the cat pics at the end were a nice touch.
Thanks, our cats had to get their due after being featured so prominently in the game :)
Very cute. Nice sound design as well!
Thanks!
As someone who loves Hidden folks and cats...this is purrfect ;)
Thank you :)

This is precious! I love the sounds!
Thanks!
I really enjoyed this! Great idea for a birthday present. The cat in the bush was a bit tricky to find.

But I'm glad it was challenging enough still!
