Inspiration

Greedy Paws takes inspiration from the "Lucky" Cats often found in small shops to bring good fortune in business. We thought it'd be hilarious to have a hello cat with all of the personality and selfishness of a real cat.

What it does

In Greedy Paws you take on the role of a shop owner's cat. You 'help' the shop by sitting next to the register, stealing customers' change, and messing with their orders.

You are a lazy cat and need to mess with the customers' orders to keep you in the mood to work the counter. Who can resist dipping a paw in a customer's freshly made latte? Tap to mess up their order before your mood gets too low but be quick so that the shop owner doesn't catch you!

As you steal change, you'll build up a score that'll go into the leaderboard. This score is reset when you get caught and thrown out of the shop or your mood drops too low and you decide to take a nap.

Competing players can join you at the counter to try and snatch the coins right out from under you. Get a higher score to remind them who the top cat is!

How we built it

We heavily used Noesis UI to get a 2D experience up and running in Horizon.

Challenges we ran into

Many features of Noesis do not work upon import into Horizon and there is little documentation on which features these are. This took a lot of trial and error and greatly impacted how far we could get before the competition deadline.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We managed to get a fun 2D experience working in Horizon!

What we learned

We learned a lot of the caveats of working with Noesis and Horizon. We've got a better battle plan now.

What's next for Greedy Paws

If we win enough funding for it, we have a lot of plans for Greedy Paws! We'd like to add a store for you to spend your hard-earned change along with:
