Mischief

• Attention Meter: Your attention is indicated as an hp bar which slowly depletes as your cat starts feline bored. To avoid this cat-astrophy you must interact with the world (gather collectables, defeat enemies, etc).
• Powerups: Find special items that grant cool abilities, allowing you to become invincible, reduce your gravity, or move faster with greater control.
• Enemies: Snakes and dogs will patrol the ground, ready to knock you away. Defeat these enemies by pouncing on them or walking into them when you are invincible. Watch the skies for mice, which are airborne enemies that will throw cheese at the player! Swatting them down is as simple as catching them.
• Environment: Explore a randomly generated world filled with interactive obstacles and objects. Push vases off ledges to smash them, spring off bouncy platforms, slide over icy terrain, catch moving platforms, and avoid getting shocked by electrified surfaces.

• Move Left/Right: Left / Right Arrow Keys or A / D
• Move Down: Down Arrow Key or S
• Jump: Up Arrow, W, Spacebar, or Z
• Pause: P
• Mute: M

While I had a great time making this game, I did not do everything myself. I want to give credit to the talented creators whose work helped bring this project together. If you're interested, please check them out below!
