Hello there @Scarlet Games! your game is great! and it would be greater if it had a Multiplayer and a customization for cat! I would be happy and rate your game a 5 star if you add it


Edit:Also pls remove the zooming camera when i speed too much

ohhh goooood this game so great!!!! better than chasing our cat!!!!! i am waiting for the realease

(+2)

this is like my dream game and it seems so fun to play but its too lagy for my computer to enjoy so could you add more to the settings to improve FPS

(+1)

anxious for de multiplayer!!!

Funny!

I think there should be secret cheat codes for secret cat skins (not any different stats) or scrapped cats in general (different stats, maybe bengal or prussian blue), maybe even munchkin (as a joke cat cheat code with worst stats).  

And if you do end up implementing the retro-style secret codes, can you add a secret skin or cat for my cat Nugget? She has jade eyes, grayish light-brown and sleek black stripes, she's mainly a crossbreed between a Tabby and a Bengal, with a little bit of Prussian Blue. She has a scar on her left ear and is a very feisty cat, she fights with every cat that she comes across. It'd make my day to see my senior cat on a racing cat game! I've got a picture of her (before the scar) if you'd like it for reference.

Edit: Discord is "thegamesquad" and i could help for ideas, I'd love to help with the development of this game. One example i had an idea of is a Cat Cafe, racing on bar counters and whatnot, being the "Baby Park" of the game with 8 laps and a small oval track

Edit 2: ow i just burned my tongue

Edit 3, Suggestions Galore: another idea for a suggestion, how about a large mansion track with a cat gym as a possible "Rainbow Ride" style track with guided jumps and such. Speaking of jumps, One thing that i find inconsistent are the jumps in the game, they're very hard to predict and not flip over on. Another track idea could be a Laser tag arena as a sort of a Tron-esque Vaporwave aesthetic track with a vaporwave cat skin reward to match for getting 1st place on hard. Last and final track idea i have is a large Cat Show track that acts as the game's "Wario Stadium" with fire hoop hazards and stage hazards that are unique to this stage like packing peanuts (equivalent of mario kart's lightning/banana but as a stage hazard) and/or chained dogs (equivalent of mario kart's piranha plant stage hazard), and two or three cheat code ideas for you, "CATNIP" a cheat code that can be entered in singleplayer, or alternatively in multiplayer, a percentage of people have to enter the cheatcode for the catnip gamemode. This gamemode would make all cats in the room or race act as if it were mariokart's 200cc, but with much harder control and steering and a catnip decal overlayed onscreen as a sort of a "chaotic mode". Second cheat code idea is another gamemode idea, "HISSFIT", which as before, applied in singleplayer immediately and multiplayer with a vote. This gamemode would function similarly to Balloon Battle from mario kart, and would have a special map to go along with it. There will be a winner declared by how many "Hits" someone got in total, or it will be team mode, graded by team average, which can be a variant of the original code as "TEAMHISS". These could also alternatively be implemented as a gamemode.

I know its alot to read at the last edit, but those are all just ideas of mine

Hello!
I appreciate all of the great ideas, but just remember I am just one guy doing this in his spare time :'D I will definitely take your feedback on-board, especially putting your cat into the game. If you send me a DM to my Twitter, send a pic of your cat and I will try and put them into the game for you.

Thanks!

yeah im just a little ecstatic about helping people with games lol. i dont usually use twitter but im going to try. I couldnt dm you so i made a post and tagged you in it.

Hi!! Just an update on this:

I created a cheat code system and put your cat into the game :)
All you have to do (from the next update) is input the code "SOLOMON2207" and it will replace the skin for the Tabby cat with one that looks like Nugget. I posted some images in the reply to your Twitter message.

oh wow, thank you!!! i almost forgot about this

I was disappointed that the multiplayer is not working. I mean, the button is disabled. I thought I had to complete some levels to unlock it but it didn't work like that. 

Overall, the game is pretty nice, it's relaxing and stuff. However, I'd like to see more variety on the maps like shortcuts and maybe some additional obstacles. And of course it would be nice to see more cats. Thanks for the game, it's one of the coolest indie games I've played for the last months

Hi there!

Multiplayer is currently not enabled in the demo. Sorry about that! I will enable it when the game is near completion. I will add a tooltip in the next patch to make sure people know this.

Really glad you enjoyed the other parts of the game! I am definitely refining the tracks and adding more cats so you should follow this page to stay tuned into the semi-regular dev diaries and patch notes.

Just played a bit of the demo and have some feedback. Mostly about difficulty. Played it on easy and found it tough to even come 5th place. AI cats significantly faster than starter cat, and always avoid obstacles. The handling is pretty tough too. Too easy to spin out and a lot of getting stuck clipping through things having to reset. Found the screeching sound a bit grating too. Love the concept and fun enough but would be better if those things were addressed.

Hello!

I have reduced the volume of skidding/screeching and have tweaked some physics values that should make it harder (not impossible) to spin out. I have also further limited the speed of AI cats on the Easy difficulty.

These changes will be available in the next update!

I think the easiness of spinning out adds to the charm of driving a cat instead of a car, there should be some noticable driving differences to make it a little more chaotic. I've been able to win 1st place pretty consistently on hard with the scottish fold by getting used to the driving.

can't download or install the game on itch.io app :(

that's because the game is not marked as Win compatible: https://itch.io/t/3848455/why-no-compatible-downloads-were-found

Hello!
Yes unfortunately Zoomies is not currently compatible with the itch app. I have never used the app before so am currently researching the app to make it work with the next versions of Zoomies, so it will be compatible in the future.

For now, if you want to play Zoomies please download the latest build from the store page, extract the files to anywhere you'd like, then click the .exe to play!

Actually, I just now got it uploaded. You can now download using the itch app :) let me know if you have any issues

Hi ! Thank you, I really appreciate that ! I just installed the game, it runs perfectly, and It is very fun to play !

(+1)

its a great idea and game but i have a few problems, for example the difficulty bonus in the money doesnt work, or other thing is that sometime the cat flyes for no reason or steer waay too much. anyway great game idea if you do it well you can make history!! :D

Hmm the difficulty bonus bug is definitely concerning! I will definitely look into that and fix it for the next update. As for the controls - this is something I’m constantly refining with each update so I’ll take your comments on board and will make some changes :) thank you for the feedback

(+2)

very fun! playing on controller, I do wish there was a way to lower sensitivity for steering. But I'm getting the hang of it :) excited to keep playing!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can add something like that :) cheers

When the next update is coming ?? Can't wait :3

Hello! I am currently working on the next update :)
I will write a new dev diary this weekend which will talk more about what is coming up next!

I Have idea is Item boxes, Which Could Give Like Boost items, Stun Items ,Etc

Hello! Thanks a lot for playing :)
The current demo version 0.9.1 includes some physics improvements so it's easier to drift. Just something to consider in-case you ever revisit the game. Stay tuned for more cats and tracks!

So after posting my first video there was an update that fixed a lot of the keyboard control issues and made it easier for keyboard users . I wanted to go back in and see if I could make anything other than last place lol

It wouldn't update the game in the itchio app and so I uninstalled it. When reinstalling, it reports an error "Cannot read property 'build' of undefined" but installing it from the website directly works.

Hello! Yes I’m unsure of how the app works but redownloading from the store page should definitely work. I’ll look into getting the app myself and trying to get it to work on there!

Great game: me and my brother really enjoyed playing it

Hi! I am super glad you like the game! I noticed you played the 'old' version of Zoomies. If you download the new demo, it contains new graphics, tracks and more!

Thanks for playing !

Yoooo i’ll definitely download the new demo then, we loved the game and were talking about playing it again but with different characters so that sounds epic!

I've always sucked at racing games, Mario Kart...etc. lol. So, here's mine!

Thank you for the generous contribution! The latest update has made the cats a lot easier to control so less spinning out!

Thanks for playing and I hope you return soon :)

This game has a lot of potential to be a good racing game. I had an issue with turning but I bet the controls are a lot better using a controller .  I hope the full version has way more kitties to pick from  :) 

(+1)

Hello! Thanks for playing!
Interesting bug you found with the cat stats. Will have to make sure I fix that :)

Also there is a new demo build available which includes better drift physics so that it's easier to play with a keyboard. Please let me know what you think!

Thank you again

Oohhhh wow , so when I was able to change the stats that was a bug? lol I thought that was odd .  

 I was thinking of trying it out with a controller to see if I could do any better but since you got a new demo out ill check that one out too :) 

Let me know what you think!

Cada vez qye vuelvo a jugar el juego mejora bastante, me gusta la implementacion de impulsadores, los npc, los vehículos, obstaculos, y el cambio grafico al estilo de los simpsons se ven geniales, el juego es muy divertido y tiene futuro, faltan arreglar algunos puntos en los niveles que se bugean pero despues el juego es maravilloso

Thank you for playing!

Funniest thing I've played in a minute, it's also a lot of fun! My only real complaint is tight turning is really hard since using your break to simulate a drift makes you do a 180, but I suppose that's also the point. Other than that a lot of fun! Can't wait for the multiplayer release

Hello! I've literally just uploaded a new demo build right now which includes some slight drift physics tweaks. Maybe try on that build and see what you think? In any case I'll make a note to reduce the braking power when drifting so thanks very much for that :)

Really happy you like the game! Cheers!

I just tried the new version, and yeah drifting feels so much cleaner now! I will say I do not know what the sparks mean, though I just use them as a guide to tell me if I am turning too hard, which I really like! The game feels really unique and a lot of fun with the new change, the new maps is also really cool I love how you repurposed a previous map yet made it feel so different! Really excited for this game :D!! In terms of balancing cats with high turning capabilities seem really strong right now, but then again game isn't multiplayer yet so I would not fully know. Can't wait!

I'm glad you like the new update! And yes that is exactly what the sparks mean :)
I'm still trying to figure out how to teach the player about the sparks, so maybe I'll make a tutorial race for first-time players.

Ooh okay I'll see if I can buff the other cats then if the high-turning cats are too OP. Thanks so much for all of the feedback!

It stills processing HD, I play on controller and tbh this is the best time I could get I even tried with all other cats so maybe bobcat just good, and np! Game is just fun so i'd love to see it better, I'll wait for more updates to come! There is 1 area of this map though that I feel like should be changed in the clip after the first race you can see me crashing into nothing since there is an invisible wall that always stops me from taking a tighter turn, do not know if this is on purpose but that's my only criticism with the new map LOL. Cant wait for more!!

Thanks so much for the video! I really appreciate that :) yes it looks like there's some collision that shouldn't be there. I'll make sure to remove that in the next update. Good find!

I will try and beat your time :P it might take me a while since you've set a really good time I am struggling to beat it!

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!

(+1)

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)

Thanks again!

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)

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!

(+1)

the blur effect still remains even if i change the settings to very low

Hi there!

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.

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!

Cheers!

whats the minimum requirements

Hi there

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 :) 

(+1)

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

(+1)

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?

(+1)

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

Tabarnack pas controllable ca calisse greos

Hi there, are you having issues with the game?

This game has alot of potential please add a jump mechanic

Thank you I will think about it :)

(+1)

Very fun. Looks promising. =)

Thank you!

SUPER fun love this game

<3 thank you

(+2)

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

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 :)

(+1)

TENIA MUCHO QUE NO ME DIVERTIA TANTO Y MAS CON GATOS WAO

When will us be able to play the multiplayer version?
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.
