Current State

Focus: Cat Basketball — Solo Shooting and Replay Baseline
Setup: Ready
Primary Reference: Basketball Legends 2020
Reference Thesis: Use the catalog's solo-training subset to test whether a clear hoop target, automatic dribble, assisted shooting and repeated attempts give the expressive cat sports concept more understandable goals and replay appeal.
Reference Alignment: New Cat Basketball direction; proposed experiment scope, not a claim of implementation. Competitive modes, opponents and super abilities are outside this initial solo-training test. Confirm actual controls, shot feedback and ball recovery against current repository before implementation.
Open Questions: Can fresh players understand how to score baskets and voluntarily repeat attempts in the Basketball Legends 2020-inspired solo-training version?

Active Hypotheses

A readable Foot Bag-style timing and positioning loop, expressed through the cat's whole-body animation, will motivate intentional trick combinations and voluntary retries beyond the initial novelty of the character.

The user accepted animation feasibility and selected California Games Footbag after judging paw-only activities too limited. This supports testing whole-body interaction, but supplies no gameplay retention evidence. Keep Cat Ball distinct from prior cat-care puzzle experiments.

proposed · CONFIRMED

A clear hoop target and assisted repeatable shots may make the cat sports loop easier to understand and more replayable than the previous juggling version.

Latest Experiment

Cat Basketball — Solo Shooting and Replay Baseline

Can fresh players understand how to score baskets and voluntarily repeat attempts in the Basketball Legends 2020-inspired solo-training version?

Proposed smallest solo-training baseline: expressive cat, one clear hoop target, automatic dribble, assisted shots and quick repeat attempts. Confirm actual repository state and remaining work before finalizing controls, timing rewards or recovery rules.
