Moon-like Cat

Game Overview

Moon-like Cat is an experimental and whimsical interactive experience where players interact with a cat-like figure that occasionally shakes its head. The game revolves around playing with light sources—click and hold the mouse to move a light around, casting shadows and creating a playful, moon-like ambiance. The minimalist design and soothing visuals make it a unique and calming experience, perfect for unwinding.

Recommendation

This game is perfect for players who enjoy experimental, low-stakes interactions and appreciate creative visual experiments. It’s ideal for those looking for a relaxing, meditative experience or anyone curious about light and shadow mechanics in a playful setting. The simplicity and charm of the cat animation, combined with the interactive light, make it a delightful way to spend a few minutes.

How to Play

  1. Start the Game: Click the green flag or press the “Run” button to begin the game.

  2. Interact with the Cat: A cat (or cat-like drawing) will appear on screen. It may occasionally shake its head.

  3. Use the Light Source:

    • Mouse Control: Click and hold the mouse button, then move the cursor around the screen. This simulates shining a light on the cat, creating a visual effect.
    • The light interaction is experimental and enhances the “moon-like” atmosphere.

  4. Game Mechanics:

    • The game has no set end goal; it is an open-ended, experimental experience.
    • The focus is on the visual and interactive effects of light on the cat model.

  5. Additional Notes:

    • The cat’s appearance and parts (like ears or mouth) may adjust slightly based on the light position.
    • The game is optimized for performance, even on older PCs.

Inspiration

The game was inspired by a technical experiment with vertex data and light simulation in Blender. The creator wanted to explore how simple models could mimic realistic lighting without complex normal calculations. The cat’s design and the moon-like aesthetic emerged from tweaking the light data, resulting in a charming, low-poly visual style. The project evolved over time with updates to the model, lighting mechanics, and even multilingual support.
