No?

Its almost impossible to play. As soon as you click start a cat will hit you.

Good point. Might give a countdown into the game start alright. You can get it moving alright if you keep the mouse to the left when you click start.

Ok, updated now so that the cats start in each corner. Have to fix one cat rolling, but do you think it is easier to get started now?

the collision boxes are very awkward....

gave it a play, here's my suggestions:

1 - instructions
2 - countdown of 3 seconds to play
3 - increase the score update rate. have it increase by 1 every second.
4 - start button needs more contrast the press start text blends in with the green
5 - the background in the game is ok, but 1/2 the screen is the white ceiling. i think you could make better use of the space
6 - have the game background change every time you play
7 - allow the player to pick his mouse
8 - sounds? i can't hear anything, but that might be cause of the arcade
9 - like nww003 said, the collision boxes are off. maybe make them circular on the cats?
10 - save highest score so you have a goal to beat

the last 10% of making your game takes 90% of the total time. whenever i finish an app i give it a few days then go back and give it a once over to see what else I can do.

Thanks for the input guys. Will be working some more on this over the weekend and see what my skills allow me to update. The collision boxes seem to be a big issue. @Jon. Lots there in your points. Not sure how much I will be able to do, but will def do some of them. Has anyone tried it on mobile? Functionality has to be different as drag does not work. Not sure if I should change both to instant move or HTML as drag and phone as tap.
