Hi there! Thanks so much for playing, loved your video (and your cat ears!)
The drifting physics are definitely a little janky and it's something I'm working hard to improve. It's quite a difficult thing to get right for sure :)
I'm releasing an update to the demo soon which should include a slight improvement to the drift physics, specifically it helps you more to retain a drift rather than letting you spin out (though it is definitely still possible if you drift hard enough xD)
been following this game for months now and gotta say i had an absolute blast with this new update!!! love the music as well! will definitely be getting the full release. (scottish fold kinda goated ngl)
Do you mean the blur effect on the main menu? This was intentional as it doesn't really affect the game performance all that much as the blur is only present in the main menu. I can add it as a toggle off for the very low quality settings though.
This was an awesome, funny and cute game! Took a second to get used to the controls and the drifting but once I did it plays great. I managed to get first and second place in both tracks, great job! I recommend and will play more when multiplayer is added. Here is my gameplay video!
I still need to improve the cat stability when they go over ramps and jumps, so I'll make sure to provide some love and care to this area for the full game!
I have no idea, but Zoomies should run on most modern computers. There is a 'Quality' setting in the game which you can set lower if you are having issues with performance.
The demo is free so you should try it and find out :)
Ok I found out, my 2 core, 4g ram laptop can run it very well at medium settings. Above that it's just a wee bit laggy but still playable. Also, good game but I suck with keyboard lol. [Still in easy mode] Can't wait to see more.
Thank you for your kind words! Yes I recommend playing the game using a gamepad or xbox controller, but I will try and make the keyboard input a bit smoother for the full game!
So is it only demo's atm? I looked on youtube and their game is very different than mine. Yes I paid for it, I just want to know I got the right one.. Only link to download is the demo :(
Hello! Yes it is only the demo right now, as it says on the store page the game is still in development. The demo was uploaded less than a week ago and includes many improvements over the older demo.
There are many Youtube videos of the old demo (which was the build used for the game jam) which looks a lot different. I can make this demo available for you, if you'd prefer that?
I stumbled upon the project on dev logs. I was curious so I played it. I have finished everything and this is the funniest and funnest game I have played for a while xD
Hello! I'm super happy you enjoyed the game! Thanks so much for your support~ The full game will feature gamepad support, as well as taking advantage of both WASD and Arrow Keys for movement! I'll be updating the demo soon which should include these features so stay tuned :)
Hi there! Thank you for your kind comments :) I am just one guy developing this on my own so the full game will not be ready until 2024. But please keep following the development until then !
Hello, this game is very similar to a old browser game I used to play about cats racing but it was indoors. I was wondering if you got inspired by that game and if so, do you remember what it was called? I cannot find it anywhere.
Hey! This game is actually inspired by the Cat Driving mode from the popular Timesplitters series. I don't think I've heard of the game you're talking about but it sounds cool!
Hey, thanks for the reply. Sadly it's not the game I am looking for, but I appriciate that you've responded. I think it's somewhere deeply rooted in one of those browser game websites. I'll share if I find anything.
Very nice, it gives a good feel of speed, is surprisingly tricky, and is just good fun. Plus, cats. At an early stage, but I can see a really fun game coming out of it.
However, I will say that the background sound is... unpleasant. Not the music, the sound. It sounds like a mix of engine noise and hissing cats, which... I assume is intentional, but it's just unpleasant to listen to, in that I don't want to play for too long because it gets on my nerves. That's my only major complaint, though.
Some random ideas for it could be instead of the current loading screen have an animation of a 2D cat snorting a line of catnip. For the speedometer it could be a can of tuna with a little fish being the needle. Anyways great game so far!
I was able to give this a fair shot on a better device, and had a great time! As other players on the rating page said, the cat was a bit hard to control. But then I got the hang of it and found myself zooming around the city! I can't wait for future updates and what improvements or new features they might bring :) This game has a lot of potential!
Awesome! Thank you for coming back and giving it another go :) The cats should be much easier to control when I launch the latest patch tomorrow, which also includes some performance optimizations too
I just love the concept. Racing games and cats are two of my favorite things! This is a very unique and fun concept that has never been explored in the past! Great job on the creativity :)
I love the small details in the environment. It feels alive and polished. The visuals and the audio were great as well! Due to my hardware limitations I have experienced low frame rates, though that didn't stop me from having a good time with this!
I see there are multiple cats, but also the possibility for multiple race tracks, which is a great touch of variety to the game! Especially the different stats for the race cats.
This is going to be developed into a full game as well, so I'm excited to see where this will go! Keep it up :)

Actually a fantastic idea of a game! I love this take on a racing game! The drifting is a little wild, but I can't wait to see this fully! Great work!

Thank you so much! Lovely to hear that :)
My favourite is the Persian, but also excited to reveal the new cats that will come with the full game!
the blur effect still remains even if i change the settings to very low
Hi there!

Sorry for the confusion. I misspoke about the blur effect. What I meant was the blur motion.
This was an awesome, funny and cute game! Took a second to get used to the controls and the drifting but once I did it plays great. I managed to get first and second place in both tracks, great job! I recommend and will play more when multiplayer is added. Here is my gameplay video!
Awesome vid, dude! Thanks so much!
I still need to improve the cat stability when they go over ramps and jumps, so I'll make sure to provide some love and care to this area for the full game!

whats the minimum requirements

I was asking cuz my laptop is one of those cheap laptops.

No, I'm good! I just wanted to make sure I got the right one that's all 😁😁. I can't wait to see it as it develops

Thanks for your kind words :)
El mejor juego de gatos que e visto XD muy divertido
Great game! A little bit of glitches, but I can not wait for more updates!
This is a fun game! Any way to remap the movement buttons for the keyboard? I'd prefer to use the arrow keys.
Hello! I'm super happy you enjoyed the game! Thanks so much for your support~
The full game will feature gamepad support, as well as taking advantage of both WASD and Arrow Keys for movement! I'll be updating the demo soon which should include these features so stay tuned :)

The game is too good! Congrats!
Hi there! Thank you for your kind comments :)
I am just one guy developing this on my own so the full game will not be ready until 2024. But please keep following the development until then !
did you make the ART?
Hello! Most of the art is from the Synty Studios POLYGON asset packs.
Bruh. This looks fun as hell!

thats a really nice game fr , im horrendous at it tho (please add a practice mode)
Who would have thought cats and speedy racing would make a perfect combo?
ZOOMIES
Making a game all by yourself is so hard, I'm impressed with the result! It's a lot of fun
with a tiny drop of frustration:DThis game is sooo silly and fun! I love it!! great job!!!!
The best thing ever made in the history of everything.
Thank you
No.. thank YOU!

Thanks! Your kind words mean a lot to me :)
The full version will include more cats and tracks!

this game is nice but too hard can you please make it more easy and can you make a flying cat it would be cool thats if you want to
thank you
-youssef-
Hey! The full game will include 3 difficulties [Easy, Medium, Hard] so there will be a comfortable experience for everyone :)
Very nice, it gives a good feel of speed, is surprisingly tricky, and is just good fun. Plus, cats. At an early stage, but I can see a really fun game coming out of it.

Cheers for the feedback. The game audio has definitely been overhauled for the full game :)
Zoomies! Cat Racing Gameplay
XD
Please keep working on this game, its hilarious
Some random ideas for it could be instead of the current loading screen have an animation of a 2D cat snorting a line of catnip. For the speedometer it could be a can of tuna with a little fish being the needle. Anyways great game so far!
Thank you for the kind words and awesome ideas!
I am indeed developing this into a full game and will definitely take your ideas on board :D
I was able to give this a fair shot on a better device, and had a great time! As other players on the rating page said, the cat was a bit hard to control. But then I got the hang of it and found myself zooming around the city! I can't wait for future updates and what improvements or new features they might bring :) This game has a lot of potential!

The cats should be much easier to control when I launch the latest patch tomorrow, which also includes some performance optimizations too
Thanks once again!
Amazing entry! Very impressive work on this :)
