Precision Platforming. Wholesome Chaos. One Judgmental Cat.


Hi! I'm the solo-dev behind SproutForge. I used to build machines as a Mechanical Engineer, but now I build pixel worlds fueled by coffee.

A Cat Named Venus Shorttail is my debut project. It's a vertical arcade adventure where physics meets feline agility.

๐Ÿ† Can You Beat The Dev?

My High Score: 2930 (It was a lucky run)

I challenge you to beat it! If you do, post your score in the comments so I can be jealous. ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿˆ Who is Venus?

Starring my real-life British Shorthair, Venus. She sat on my keyboard during development and "supervised" every line of code.
(P.S. Yes, her tail is naturally that short. Please don't ask why—she's very sensitive about it. ๐Ÿคซ)


โœจ Why Play?

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Engineered Controls: Responsive movement logic, tested to perfection (and approved by Venus).
  • ๐Ÿ‘ป The "Ghost Shelf": Watch out for blue platforms; they have commitment issues.
  • ๐Ÿฆ Green Birds are Jerks: Seriously. Dodge them at all costs.
  • ๐Ÿšซ Zero Bloat: No ads, no downloads. Just pure arcade fun.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Should Venus Go Mobile?

I designed this game with a "pick up and play" philosophy. My dream is to bring it to Android & iOS.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Let me know in the comments:

1. Would you play this on your phone?
2. What features would you want in a pocket version?
