Good game, flawed controls
This is a decent game with good animation but there is just 1 thing that ruins it for me: the controls. You have an ENTIRE keyboard to choose from when it comes to starting the game, pausing the game, reeling in the cat and dropping the cat, yet, you decided that the mouse would be used for everything. Why? It only causes so many problems for nothing. Examples:
- I'm starting a level... I clicked the pumpkin and then a cat... Out of nowhere, a string appears that starts at the pumpkin and ends at the cat because I didn't wait before clicking the cat.
- I want to reel in the cat, so I move my mouse over to Sally and the cat starts flying like crazy because I moved the mouse up.
- I want to drop a cat but I have not yet begun reeling it in. To drop it, I have to click Sally 4 times (twice to reel it in, twice to drop it) and by moving the mouse to Sally, the cat goes flying.
There are more examples but the bottom line is that the mouse is used to perform so many functions that it is very difficult to do what we want to do. I understand that making strings and moving the cat up and down require the mouse's movements but the other functions don't and would be better off if they were performed with a button on the keyboard.
