Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the solo dev behind Brush Nooli — a free browser cat game that accidentally became the world's most passive-aggressive friendship test. The idea was simple: brush a sleeping ginger cat, feel calm, have a nice two minutes. No login, no install. Just open it and go. I spent a long time on the small stuff — Nooli's breathing animation, how her fur reacts to brush speed, the audio layering that makes everything feel a little too peaceful. Then I added the wake-up moment. Six versions of it. The current one makes people feel like it was genuinely their fault. It has since been used to prank coworkers, partners, and one grandparent who I heard from directly. A few things I'd love to know from the PH community: — Did the jump scare get you? — Who did you immediately send it to? — How long did you actually last? Happy to talk about the build, the sound design, or why "cozy horror" is apparently a genre I invented by accident. Ask me anything — I'm here all day.

I made a free browser game about brushing a cat — what's the wildest reaction your product ever got?

So I shipped something weird last week and I'm still processing the feedback.

It's a free browser game called Brush Nooli. You open it, there's a sleeping ginger cat, soft music, purring sounds. You brush her. The fur reacts. She shifts a little. People have called it "genuinely meditative" and "the only peaceful thing I've done all week."

And then if you brush too fast, or get too confident she wakes up.
