Catastrophy has been made for the GMTK Game Jam 2024.

Game summary

Step into the paws of a mischievous cat in this charming and addictive physics-based game. Take control of a playful feline on a mission to grow a wool ball to enormous sizes. As you explore the environment, you gather moss that clings to the wool ball, causing it to expand and become more challenging to manage. Master the art of strategic movement and precise timing as you navigate around obstacles and walls, while steering clear of hazards that threaten to shrink your wool ball.

Developer Note

I only had time to create a sandbox / prototype of the game mechanic. I did not to complete it as much as I wanted. I'll definitely keep updating it in my free time, after the game jam. <3
