You can't define other's feeling. Feeling is real only to the subject. What you say is just like "why don't you try not to be sad?". Try to say something else that won't increase suicide rate of the world.

 

Your emoji can't hide your arrogance as well, premium member.

 

I'm not going to make light of this, no matter how arrogant you feel I was being before - Whether you find me arrogant or not, that's not important, and I don't care.

 

What IS important is this:

 

If you are having suicidal thoughts over a trophy, then contacting the developer to make it easier is not the solution - it is bigger than that.

 

Stop playing, and immediately telling someone you love how you are feeling.

Seek some help.

 

There is no trophy in the world worth feeling suicidal over. 

 

Do NOT allow yourself to feel this way alone - there IS help available, and there are people who can help and want to help.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

 

PLEASE do not continue playing if you feel this way.

So, after more 50+ times and almost declare insanity, I made it.

When you reach some small spaces, go towards to the wall to make them ricochet when they jump.

I saw powerpyx video, and I laughed. Not the same game BUT the ideia of zigzag helped a lot.

 

In the beginning it is ok, just go around them.

Then when they come from a wall at the right I make that ricochet at the left wall and continue zig zag.

Then when they fall from the ceiling or whatever, instead of going to their left I passed slightly under the spot they fall, not at their left because is insta kill.

That net area when they came from your left, I make a large way to the right and zigzag, immediately go left when they came from your front.

Then I zigzaged like hell until the end and spammed X to make the cat jump before having a heart attack!

 

Hope you guys can do it. I loved this game, it's just prrfect besides this trophy and 2 hours one.

 

And sorry about my English! ?

If you find this hard or impossible its best you stop trophy hunting all together. Some people and their comments are pathetic, freaking out about this. Got so used to these 5minute pleb easy games that require no skill at all? Same goes for autopopping or stacking 5x same easy game, its sad times nowadays. Sjeesh, who remember the ps3 days where every game and platinum was so much harder to get and so much more satisfying.

[Steven-Spiegel]

I see a couple of videos cause of this thread, but only took me 3 attemps to make it, sensivity to max, and trying to zig zag (with the help pf the camera too) and be close to the walls.

Stray should be a relaxing one, anything annoying defeats the purpose. We expect this game to be a 3A top game, but turn out it is a low-price simulator game.

 

You claim the person can't define other's feeling. Yet you try to define what a game made by somebody else should or shouldn't be while simultaneously speaking for others? OK.

[vanslayder]

I love this kind of threads. 
Burning asses and people talking suicide because of cat game. Lol. This is so cool to read all this.

I don't know, how people spent so much time for this trophy. My third try and I got it. On ps4 version. So simple. Just remember when and where they spawn. And do SOME zig-zags.

[Vigilantony]

This is what buying easy Platinums does to a mf 

[xh117]

It's not that bad honestly, could have been way worse. The whole thing lasts for a little over a minute, purrrsistence is key here, don't give up! ??

Crying trophy hunters are the worst kind along with the toxic community

They are pathetic

I thankfully didn't have too many problems with this trophy once I worked out that there is a rough set path for some of it that works but how random the little Wish.com versions of headcrabs are is abysmal because even with set spawn points, once they've spawned they can do totally different and unpredictable things each time.

 

Possibly the worst factor in my opinion was how many spawn, especially in the tighter alleys because on some runs for me as little as 3 would appear but on another maybe >6 would show up from the same spawn point. (Perhaps this is a spawn bug though because a couple of times my path looked clear and then out of nowhere I'd suddenly have one attached to my face.)

 

Another large factor is that there's seemingly no pattern to their jumps; some seem to get almost stunned/staggered by jumping and helplessly roll about while I seen others just touch the ground and immediately spring towards me again and some seem to have really weak jumps but then others fly at you like a homing rocket from off-screen.

 

One thing that I feel did help was I changed the binding of running to a face button.

 

Now, I say this not as thinking of it from a hunting trophies perspective as I'm not really one to call for trophies to be changed unless it is completely unreasonable (in my opinion) such as Emperor in ESO or the leaderboard ones in GRAW for example, but purely thinking of it for people that might be drawn to this kind of game, say people that might only play a handful of games a year and sees this and is drawn to the whole cat aspect or whatever, I honestly hope they do nerf it at least a touch so that everyone (I would say no matter their skill level, but there's not all that much skill involved with this trophy) has a better chance to get the platinum.

I have to disagree, this trophy was fun to earn and was well designed. I normally hate perfect run/speed run trophies but this was just the right size for me. A perfect run takes a minute or so. You die and it quickly loads you right back to the beginning. I never felt like my time was being wasted. It’s a challenge but definitely attainable (1 in 5 people have earned it so far at the time of writing) and you feel a sense of accomplishment when you nail that run. My girlfriend was watching me do it and she cheered when I earned it too. ? The trophy hint on PS5 tells you all you need to know and it’s been echoed throughout this thread. There is no hidden strategy here. If you keep at it you will get it.

[Jason-DFG]

These things suck so much, it's just heavy RNG based, not even skill.µ

 

Edit: After trying for 45 min more - i'm ready to turn in the towel, this game is actually making me sick, with the motion controls.

Bro calm down, @DrBloodmoney just having his own opinion. And I kinda agree with him. And don't do that 'premium member' thing, come on.

It took me more or less 40 tries but finally got it. Annoying as hell.

I'd say we've been there for a good while now.  Regarding this particular game, it seems as though everyone just wants to try and get their name onto the Fastest Achievers screen, as though that actually means something.

 

It is, quite frankly, ridiculous that there are so many complaints over one trophy in a game that's only been out for about two days now.  God forbid that a game that looks to be pretty easy should have a grand total of ONE semi-challenging aspect to it, and that people might actually have to spend a bit of time on it to get it done.

As someone who has a few games on the front page of the Fastest Achievers screen, the stress and frustration is just not worth it. 
 

Most of my games that I’m in the top 10 in are games I played extensively when I was young, so I knew ahead of time what to expect. 
 

I’m content in earning a platinum and enjoying the game I played. Trophy speedrunning to me is utterly pointless.

[Nauticus87]

This thread is... something. Personal experience first: I thought it was a fair trophy. It had a bit of challenge but at no point did I feel the game was against me, once you knew where they appeared you could judge where to move to, took about 4-5 attempts and with each failed attempt I got further.

Number two, it's a cat game, kid game, easy game. Annoying trophies are more annoying when they are in a game that's supposed to be a breeze.

 

 

I've seen this as a recurring thought in the thread, the trophies being disproportionately unfair compared to how easy the game is supposed to be, but can I ask something, genuine question to anyone in general: Was this game marketed as a kid-friendly, easy game? I didn't watch any of the hype because I wanted to go in fresh, but from the few images I saw it gave me a Tokyo Jungle vibe, which was a hard enough trophy list. I'm wondering is this a bait and switch from the developers, Annapurna, who do generally put out games on the easier side, or an assumption from people who are then annoyed that the game they thought would be easy, wasn't? If it's the latter, that's on you, a game can be deceptive based on looks. If you're ever unsure then give it a week or two until a guide or some reviews come in that can help give a better understanding of what a game is like.

I worked all day and looked forward to relaxing and playing a cat game that extra and premium members received for free. What I didn’t expect was how tough and luck based this trophy was.

 

This confused me. You worked all day and looked forward to relaxing, but then chose to go after an optional trophy that you didn't need to go for even as it frustrated and annoyed you. You could have skipped it for later. You could have ignored it completely. What was stopping you from moving on? Even if you wanted the platinum, you could have left that trophy for later so you could relax.

 

To anyone raging in here: I understand trophies can be a crux, how difficult it can be to say no, I won't get this right now even as your trophy-earning habits kick in and you try once more and the rage builds further, but treat this situation as a chance to learn. If you want to play a game for a reason, do that. If you want to earn the trophy, do it. But never let a trophy genuinely cause you anguish. It's like that gambling tagline: When the fun stops, stop.

[BloodyRutz]

My thoughts after finishing this trophy after 15-20 tries (just putting it there, not that it matters). First, I believe some people learned the term RNG in gaming a do not really understand what it means, otherwise, how can you explain most of the posts here. Second, assuming it is all RNG, they just zig-zag the way through the level without ever thinking about what they are doing waiting for finally getting lucky.

 

What worked for me was learning where the Zurks are and bait them to the side I wanted to have them. Once they started jumping on me, I ran towards them, so they always ended up jumping over me.

 

Edit: This trophy reminded me Reunited with Fidolina trophy from Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War when people were saying raging how finishing Dead Ops Arcade 3 is impossible and completely RNG until they actually took a time to practice and learned how to bait the zombies. The same principle works here. Only this is much much easier.

Finally got it.

The only solution I can give is to keep trying. Strategies won't help you here, This trophy is too RNG.

Edit: got it again on the PS4 version and this time it took me 3 tries. Weird because the ps4 version feels like it's 20 fps so I figured it will take me longer this time but it was easier.

First, it was the speedrun controversy, now it's the Can't Cat-ch Me debacle... 

 

Sheesh... we might survive the financial crisis, the pandemic and climate change, but I guess it's the cute cat game that's gonna start world war 3.
