🐱🤖 WIND-UP CAT

A stray cat and its tiny wind-up robot break into the Vacuum Factory to rescue every caged cat inside.

The robot rides on the cat's back… until you step on an OUTLET. Then it hops off and copies your moves MIRRORED: up and down the same, left and right FLIPPED. Use it to hold pressure plates, push crates, cross lasers and flip switches, while the cat squeezes through vents and cat flaps.

Every cat you free joins your line. A longer line means more cats saved, but if a vacuum touches ANY cat in the line, you lose a life.

✨ FEATURES

- 5 tutorial rooms, one mechanic at a time

- Roguelite runs: 3 floors (Living Room, Junkyard, Factory), random dark rooms and upgrades between floors

- Boss fight: the VACUUM MASTER

- ♪ RHYTHM MODE: same rooms, but every step must land on the beat. Miss it or hesitate and the vacuums move without you. Combos and high score!

- The Cattery: every cat you save hangs out there and unlocks new upgrades

- English and Portuguese

🎮 CONTROLS

Arrow keys / WASD, or swipe on mobile. That's it.

🔒 JAM CONSTRAINT: MOVEMENT ONLY

Everything happens by walking: starting a run, picking upgrades, choosing the language and even restarting a room (bump into a wall 5 times).

🤖 AI USAGE

- Code: the whole game (turn-based logic, canvas rendering, Web Audio sound and music) was written with Claude (Anthropic) from my design.

- Level design + AI verification: every room was checked by an automated solver (breadth-first search) that plays it and guarantees it's solvable, including bonus cages and every upgrade combination.

- Art & sound: procedural pixel art and sound effects generated in code with Claude.

- Ideation: the original idea is mine; Claude helped refine the loop (mirrored robot, cat line, single-use outlets, cat flaps, rhythm mode).

🇧🇷 GATO DE CORDA

Um gato de rua e seu robozinho de corda invadem a Fábrica de Aspiradores pra resgatar todos os gatos presos.

O robô anda nas costas do gato… até você pisar numa TOMADA. Aí ele desce e copia seus movimentos ESPELHADOS: cima e baixo iguais, esquerda e direita INVERTIDOS. Use isso pra segurar placas, empurrar caixas, atravessar lasers e ligar interruptores enquanto o gato passa por dutos e portinholas.

Cada gato resgatado entra na sua fila. Fila maior = mais gatos salvos, mas se um aspirador encostar em QUALQUER gato da fila, você perde uma vida.

- 5 salas de tutorial

- Roguelite: 3 andares, salas escuras aleatórias e upgrades

- Chefão: o MESTRE ASPIRADOR

- ♪ MODO RITMO: cada passo tem que cair na batida da música!

- Gatil: os gatos salvos ficam passeando lá e desbloqueiam upgrades

- Português e inglês

Controles: setas / WASD ou deslizar o dedo no celular. SÓ isso.
