Find Us Cats

[H1]Refund speedrun 101[/H1] I played for less than 15 minutes before deciding this was a refund for me. Even at around 3$ CAD on sale, I expected more than something that barely lasts a coffee break, especially when the quality falls behind so many other HOGs. There are a few nice ideas, though. The hint system uses a little cat to show pictures of the remaining cats' surroundings, the point-and-click controls are instinctive, the zoom is good, the visuals are cute, and the options menu is surprisingly complete with multiple sound sliders, resolution and monitor selection, brightness, fullscreen, and even a "run in the background" option.

Music is pretty nice to listen to. I hope the developers don't abandon this game and don't get discouraged. This could be a basis for a good small cute game with more content and a bit less jank (for example more resolution would be nice).
