I'm a cat person, but other than that (and the music) this was a pretty nice little game. :)
Haha, I love the little mouse silhouettes in the chopper.
Wonderfully daft! I particularly like the "miaow" noise :P
I always thought that picking up and throwing was the obvious interpretation of the theme, but using a physics-controlled robot arm from a helicopter is something I would never have thought of. Nice :D
Definitely the funniest game I've played, even if I never really got the hang of throwing the cats.
Love it! You can rack up the score if you get a lot of cats in one area, but then you also risk getting PUMMELED by yarn balls!
Good interpretation of the theme. I also liked the low poly cat model and simple background. Normally I'm not a fan of Unity games but this one won me over. :)
Well, points for original interpretation. It was a bit hard to handle, and I was disappointed that the copter didn't go down in flames when I failed. The physics seemed weird at parts, causing explosion-like behavior.

beautiful choice of interpretation! I'm sure I woke up the rest of the house laughing! Physics were a little tough to play with though
