I think this project is charming!

 

That said, the puzzles are very tough! As is, it is really guesswork: drop a tile, wait for the results, repeat. I wonder if some other game component could be dropped in to make solutions a little less foggy. Or maybe have easier puzzles that need to be solved in a timely fashion (ie.... cat moves in pattern, player waits until cat turns corner to release the mouse) I don't know if that makes sense?

 

I enjoy watching you develop your stuff! Cheers!

I hope that I am being helpful. I found out recently that i may have asperger's syndrome. That may be a barrier when trying to work out the problems people are having with my games and programs.

Well, you need to think about where to drop the tile. If you just keep dropping the tile and waiting for the results, that doesn't seem like fun at all. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that when the cat or mouse touches the wall, it always moves to the right (unless there's a tile that says elsewise.)

Ah, knowing the cat always turns to the right does help.

 

Another idea would be more simple puzzles at the start... slowly progressing into the more difficult puzzles like you have now. Cool stuff!
