Thanks so much for playing! I’m kicking myself so much having not made the clones weigh more 😭 Glad you thought it was cool tho 🙏

Super cool idea, the art is sick!

Thanks so much for playing and making it all the way through! Truly a great feat 🙏 I’m glad the music didnt completely ruin the experience for you haha 😆 

Thanks for playing! Certainly gonna switch out the music after the jam 😭

Thanks for playing! I’m glad you liked the character, I loved doing their lil animations. The physics is certainly more jank than I would’ve liked 😭

Thanks for playing! I’m getting cooked for the darn music haha 😭

Thanks for playing! I always fall into the same trap of getting used to play testing my game by myself and then I struggle to balance the difficulty haha. If I revisit this project I’ll have to mess around with the physics and weights for sure.

I’m glad you had fun! Thanks for playing!

Thanks so much for playing! That was one of the things I was unsure how to do, if I revisit this project I’d have to come up with some way to more gradually introduce the mechanics

I’m glad you had fun playing! Sorry about the jank I aughta go back in and fiddle with the physics after the rankings

Yea you pretty much hit the nail on the head with the music thing haha. I wanted classical music to give that squid game esc mysterious vibe and I looked through so much stuff, landed on one that said royalty free in the title, but the comments said it was not actually and I was so thrown off that I just took something from the site that was provided for this jam. I really wish I had more time to spend on the interactions and physics, but I was traveling so time was quite limited :( Thanks so much for playing and for the comment and feedback! I appreciate it! Aughta swap out the music and add some sound effects in a future update haha 

Totally fair, I went through so much music looking for something I was certain wasn’t going to get me disqualified for not being public domain and couldn’t find anything I was happy with, but already coded the music system, so ended up kinda throwing something in unfortunately. Thanks for playing and for the compliment on the art! Means a lot 😁

because it’s a game, boy!

thanks, did you make it to the end?

very cool game and style, unfortunately I wasnt able to finish it cus at one point my gun became disabled entirely and I was unable to continue to reach the next platforms. I think it has something to do with the reload if you'd like to try to recreate the bug. I could see that one of the bullets never de-spawned, so maybe that is relevant as well.

this thing is something else

Potential Update Ideas: 

- Remove filler (boring) levels

- Add coins that need to be collected before scoring

- Different colored balls that need to be scored in their corresponding colored goal

love the artstyle looks really cool

i think this should full screen, otherwise maybe its an aspect ratio thing?

I think there is a full-screen button in the bottom right, but maybe it looks different on your end?

Thanks so much for playing and giving this amazing feedback! I’ll for sure check out your game when I have the chance! 

Adding more visual feedback is definitely something I’ll look to add more of. I feel like that will help to make it more clear what the utilities do as well. 

Thanks again for checking it out! I appreciate it :)

HELLO ALL! I need your help! In this game, you control your cats, put them to work on the computer, and decorate your island! The goal is to earn $100,000 to save your cats' business.

Let me know what you like, what you don't like, what needs balancing, what needs to be removed entirely, or built upon. I'm all ears! If you have any ideas for the game as well, feel free to share them in the comments!

And please, if you find any game-breaking bugs, let me know about them as well, so I can fix all that :)

I appreciate the time you put into playing this game and hope you enjoy!

Check out my project here: https://jamemakegame.itch.io/day-trader-cats

I have been working on an incremental upgrade game called Day Trader Cats, where you put your cats to work to save your company! 

The game features utilities, various cat types, and decorative items for your island. Make your cats as efficient as possible to buy new things and continue to grow and progress!

I am not yet done with this project, but I feel since I last posted on this community page, I have made significant progress, and the state that it is at now is much more aligned with my vision for the game.  Please give it a shot and let me know what you liked, what you hated, and even what you think I should add. I'm open to all suggestions! 

If you find any bugs, please share them with me as well :)

Appreciate you all!

Those are great ideas! Thank you so much for playing and for sharing your feedback here. I'm going to have to steal some of those haha.

I really like your motivation idea that's actually a perfect way to incorporate the cat's interests and favorite things into the game!

To deselect a cat you can right-click.  I'm not sure if I have that in the info scene or not, might have to make the controls more clear in a future update. 

Again thank you! 

Thank you! I’ll be sure to check it out! Your profile looks very professional btw, very cool

Fun lil cat game, very cozy. I'm working on a cat game myself and all the sudden am coming across all these different cat-themed projects lol

Hey All!

I just released the first prototype for my game "Day Trader Cats" and recently updated it to Version 2.0. It is far from a finished game, but it will get there as I continue to tick things off my list of to-dos. 

This thread will be where I post about the progress I am making on this project. 

I appreciate any and all feedback and will look to implement as many features as possible into this little game, so feel free to say literally anything as it may just end up in the game :)

Appreciate you all <3
