I got through most of it I think, but... I have a track pad. This game is not easy for people with track pads. I would also say its way to sensitive, but that might just be my own settings. I would have to recommend a setting or something or another option, maybe use arrow keys to move up and down idk. Other than that, It was an interesting concept. I enjoyed petting your cat.
Thanks for the input. I was thinking of allowing arrow keys, but at the last minute I thought I need to stick to the gimmick and intended gameplay, but there's really no point that I didn't allow an alternative and I'll update the controls after the judging is done. At least petting the cat makes more sense on a trackpad, heh. I did test with both very precise and very sensitive scrolling though. The game should be beatable with a sensitive scroll, unless "Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0f" works differently on some setups/mousewheels. But if you can get from one edge to the other in one stroke you should be able to beat even the final level.

It's sad to see a great gameplay idea ruined by the interface itself. I see you've already replied about the scrollwheel sensitivity and I would suggest you to check and control the scrollwheel's delta returned by the GetAxis (you can manage it as a float), maybe you can make a "scrollwheel check scene" before the game starts so you'll sure everyone can setup and play at the way you meant it! :)
Kudos for your idea!
