CATastrophe: Sunshine Shenanigans

It's another busy Sunday afternoon at the CATastrophe Cat Café, and you need a well-deserved break after a long morning of scratching furniture and chasing mice. Fortunately for you, there is a wonderful spot of sunshine right in the middle of the café, perfect for a catnap. Unfortunately for you, all the other cats are already lying there sunbathing, and you were never very good at sharing...

In CATastrophe: Sunshine Shenanigans, you play as a pair of greedy cats who are fighting the other cats for the perfect sunbathing spot. Your goal is to hog all the sunlight to yourself by creating a giant Rube Goldberg machine to lure, scare, or otherwise remove all the other cats from the center of the café. What if you attract the Fat Cat with a bowl of milk, causing him to step on a toy car that drives around scaring the Scaredy Cats? Oh, or maybe you could distract the Kitten with a ball of yarn, coaxing it over to where you've set up the loud clatter teeth? Hmm, who knew that relaxing was such hard work?

Controls and Mechanics:

• Left Mouse Click: Pick up and drop Components
• Right Mouse Click: Rotate Component
• Fat Cat only moves with Milk but is lazy so milk needs to be placed closer
• Black Cats are scaredy and can only be Scared away by loud noises which can be through the Clatter Teeth or Toy Car
• Orange Cats are both hungry and scaredy
• Most Components need some trigger for them to start, which can be placing them beside moving cats or other components
