The window sits on top of your other windows at all times as your mons wander the bottom of the screen. You control everything with your mouse!
It features lots of options to customize your experience and make the desktop pet as comfortable and easy for you to use as possible, such as different themes and less distracting control options.
! I will not accept any donations from this project but if you wish to support me as a developer it would mean the world to me if you wishlisted my main project Blob The Klex on Steam, freshly announced <3 if you like cats it's likely for you! :)

Im running on windows but how do i get rid of the black background?
Are you using Windows 10? If so try going to your settings and turn on Personalisation > Colors > Transparency effects. If you're using Windows 11 there's a chance it's your system specs or some other setting, I haven't figured out the cause for it yet :(
I am using windows 11. ill mess around with the settings. lmk if you find something though! <3
EDIT - Yeah sadly no luck rip
This looks so awesome. Too bad i'm on linux tho T_T.
I tried running it with Faugus, it launches but it doesn't go over the other windows, it only works in a black window that it creates over all the windows T_T, like it's own environment,
I'm guessing a Linux release would be too much work :( ?
Thank you! Unfortunately yes, no linux planned! The black screen is the reason why it's Windows only, since I make the game transparent using Windows specific API.
I'm so excited it's finally out! Thank you for your hard work <3
I'm only now downloading the app and I'm excited to give it a go. I also just wanted to encourage you and let you know I DID follow/wishlist your KLEX game on Steam. I love the concept and the art looks amazing! I pray the best for your game! (Plus, I love cats! Even better!)
