Did you know?
Microchipping is essential to help cats get back home safely, unlike collars which can come off microchips don’t get lost. They can also have their details updated whenever you change your phone number or move house. Microchipping cats isn’t compulsory by law, however Cats Protection have been campaigning to make the law follow that for dogs and to make microchips compulsory for all cats. We managed to reunite 2,500 cats with their owners in 2019 but would love to see this number increase!
As well as helping cats return home microchips also enable technology which works off your cats unique microchip number. You can have cat flaps which will allow individual cats to enter or exit at different times, or a feeder that will only open for a specific cat. Pretty cool!

My favorite wild west cat collection game ever!!
I felt sometimes like I got unlocky with 2 or 3 dogs right in front of my lasso where I couldn't catch anything but the dog and had to wait and ran out of time.
A mechanic to use against the dog would have made me feel more in control.
Thanks for the kind words and suggestion!
We definitely thought about some different mechanic options to balance more but ultimately ran out of time for development 😅 -- will think of different options to possibly add in the future to balance against the doggos 🤔

Great job y'all!!!! Yeeehaw!!!
Fun and cute!
Love it! Great feel and game play. Awesome colour scheme. Cute cats. Fab voice over and music. Still trying to get the final scene.
Delightful game with lovely cats! (I too would start walking alarmingly quickly if I saw someone swinging around a lasso). Was really addicting to play and the music was on point. The ending was very heartwarming!
Great work all! Amazing intro haha :D
The art is really cute and I love the shifting animation style
