I'm on that version too, no extensions it still gives me this:

I guess I'll have to see what my OS is missing

I can't see the vid on Firefox but I can on Chrome :(

I thought it was like a Raven plush at first, with the ear being the beak.

What a nice void that is!

I get it and I commend you for that. The thing is, that consistency, feel and flow is what makes a game look and feel good.

Here's some specifics:

  • Cat's Eye Chaos: camera goes way too fast, can't really track the ball at times. Also, because the ball can go up so high, you don't know whether you're picking up power ups correctly which can lead to frustration. I also didn't know that the yellow bars were flippers, but I could have gleaned that from the instructions.

  • Cardboard Castle Builder: the goal is confusing and it doesn't seem very clear on how to "win", but I do love the idea, together with the cat checking it out before getting a score.

  • Oracle Cats: this seems to be just 8ball questions and answers? I can't really call this a game, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

Considering you're doing this as a learning experience, I don't want to be too harsh though. I just wanted to point out that while technically it's a game, it lacks that feeling of elements working nearly together to make a fun experience.

I don't think you're going to get more out of GenAI though, so I can't really give you any feedback other than try to do it without AI. But that's probably not very fair, I can't even program myself so that sounds hypocritical

Edit: hypocritical

You put it on the website, so imo you did nothing wrong. It's not like you tried to hide it

The games are very inconsistent and sometimes not even enjoyable. Apparently you vibe coded all these apps? The cover art pictures gives away the use of GenAI.

Imo, focus on 4-6 games in different genres and actually make them a game instead of a soulless interactive element. Quality over quantity.

Awesome stuff! Really cool project and I have experienced the same problems.

May I suggest one thing: when you have a search term that has a single hit (like "broccoli"), navigate to the page immediately instead of showing the single search result you have to press again to read.

This speeds up the process immensely but idk how easy it is to implement.

Keep up the good work!

Chrome has a built in dark mode nowadays? Been a while since I used it

Edit: for web pages, not for the browser window itself

jokes aside, that's a heckin' cute cat! Glad you are responding so well to it.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No problem! Feel free to keep sharing :) I was just confused.

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to tell me, but glad you and Furryosa are okay.

Do you have the latest .cat codec installed?
