Brush Jjaemu is a cat-brushing game that challenges your timing and self-control. Brush, stop instantly, or get bitten in a sudden, hilarious game over.
The game was created by Korean artist/indie developer artbyeori (also known as byeorisim on itch.io). It quickly spread on social media, with simple gameplay and surprisingly witty visuals. Plus, the main character is the infamous orange cat, appealing to the psychology of cat lovers who want to play immediately.
This is a seemingly harmless but incredibly captivating game if you're a cat lover. The task is simple: brush the cat's fur without letting the orange cat see you. If it sees you brushing it, it will bite you hard, and the game is over.
Take advantage of the moment when the orange cat turns its back to brush its fur quickly. Each brush earns one point; the more you brush, the higher your score. However, be careful when the orange cat turns its head to look at you. Stop immediately if you don't want the game to end.
Just one second of greed, brushing a little longer, and you'll be instantly defeated by the cat. Game over without warning, no mercy.
The most interesting aspect of Brush Jjaemu isn't its difficulty, but how it plays on the player's psychology:
The game doesn't require you to be fast, but to know when to stop, something that seems easy but is extremely difficult when you're in the groove.
Use the mouse and drag in a straight line from beginning to end to complete one pass.
