Cake Cat: All Caked Up

Controls:
Arrow Keys: Run

This is really cute and well done :3
> "Press X to meow"
Better believe I gave those donuts a good talking to!



The game looks fun and cute, but I can't get an higher score than 20 because cakes and enemies are too similar to me, so I can't easily differentiate then
Maybe they're too small to



Super fun, thanks! Good mechanics and smooth feel. Great music too, I wish there was another song while you play.
Yes the cake could be a little more visually distinct.



@mabbees Thanks for giving it a play! And glad you got some use out of the meow button. :)
@OniriCorpe I bumped up the size of the donut, cake, and cat sprites by a couple pixels, which I hope might help make them more distinct! Thanks for giving it a try, and thanks for the feedback. :)
@SaltySalticid Thanks for giving it a play, and glad that you liked the feel of it. I love composing game music so I'm glad you enjoyed the title screen tune. I left music out of the main game loop since I find that with such short play sessions it's unlikely that folks would hear more than the first few bars, but I totally understand your perspective too. I adjusted the cake sprite to be a little more visually distinct, so thanks for the feedback! :)



I have a bug report. In on the start screen it says "Dash". I think you misspelled "Zoomies"






Found some interesting behaviour while playtesting. In the web player, when you press 'escape' then select 'exit' from the menu, you're sent back to the Picotron desktop. From here, you can navigate to the game's hiscore value and easily edit it manually. Might be a drawback if folks want to add their Picotron games to sites with leaderboards (Newgrounds, Gamejolt) as this can probably be exploited.





Wow. This game is so fun. I love the art and beautiful animation. It's like pacman, but with cat and cakes ;)



@elgopher Glad you like the art and animation! I'm a big fan of Pacman so there's definitely some inspiration there. Thanks for playing. :)



This is so much fun! My high score is 414, it gets tricky very quickly!
EDIT: Got to 476, playing on Steam Deck now




My first reaction to the "donuts" was that they were collars. Evil humans trying to contain the cat!
So delightful. Great control feel.
