Was pointed to this by Ianus. Alexandra tweets:
“So far it seems this year’s #SXSW key launch has been an app you play with your cat. Maybe now is the time to let Lindon and Berlin shine.”
So yeah, a marketing game about cat food. Ho hum. It’s a shame there’s not much more going on here beyond slapping at a screen as fast as possible.
The piece also mentions “Friskies hailed the game as the world’s first ever duel-species game.” Not true. I won’t talk about Pig Chase, ‘cause that’s not a playable game yet. But there’s plenty of prior art. My favorite: Beetle Wrestler (2008), by Chris Woebken, Natalie Jeremijenko, Lee Von Kraus and Leigha Dennis.
