✉️Author's note: 

My group partners and I developed this game  back in 2024. 
At the time, Cat Attack! was the second game that I've ever worked on.
With our inexperience, the game certainly is rough around the edges,
are there are several visual bugs left unresolved.
Still, I'm quite proud of what we were able to accomplish.
