Brush Jjaemu
You've been hired to brush Jjaemu (째무)—a short, reactive browser game about brushing fast for points while freezing the moment they look back, so you don't stress the cat (or get bitten).
Core loop
Quick primer—exact timing stays in the game build.
- Brush: click and drag with the mouse to groom Jjaemu. The faster you move, the faster your score can climb.
- Freeze: when Jjaemu turns to look at you, stop brushing and wait until they look away again—like a red-light / statue game.
- Fail: if you keep brushing while they're watching, you get bitten and the run ends (often with a sharp sound—see FAQ if you're sound-sensitive).
- Replay: short runs; try again to chase a higher score without getting caught.
More context: About (real Jjaemu, press links).
At a glance
- What you're doing
- Brush for score, stop when Jjaemu looks back—sessions are short, and many players replay to push speed without getting bitten.
- Vibe
- Tense-funny "brush the cat" energy—classic web mini-game feel, occasional sharp audio on game over, and nods players compare to famous game-over memes.
- Tech & device
- HTML5, made with Godot. The author notes mobile can be buggy—a desktop browser is the most reliable.

How to play
Start with the core loop above, then refine in-game.
- Goal: keep brushing for a strong score while respecting Jjaemu's "don't move" moments—greed for speed is what ends runs.
- Controls: mouse: hold and drag to brush; release or stay still when the cat is watching you. On-screen prompts cover anything extra the build adds.
- Runs: sessions are short; replay to chase a better score or outcome.
- Jjaemu (째무) is a real cat and shows up online as @jjaemu_ (and elsewhere—see About).
FAQ
- Will it work on my phone?
- Maybe, but the author warns mobile can be buggy. Desktop is the safest bet. If the embed is awkward, use Full screen on the bar below the game.
- No sound or audio feels wrong
- Check the browser tab isn't muted, raise system volume, and allow sound if the browser asks. Try Full screen, a refresh, or the embed in a new tab; the official build is linked in the footer if you need it.
- When Jjaemu looks at me, what should I do?
- Stop brushing and wait until they look away again. If you keep grooming while they're watching, the run ends.
- Jump scares or sudden loud sounds?
- Game over can hit with sharp audio. If you're sensitive, turn the volume down or take headphones off. You can mute the tab, but you might miss useful cues.
- Black screen, frozen, or endless loading
- Wait for the game to finish loading inside the frame; if it stalls, refresh this page or open the game in a new tab. Try another browser or disable heavy extensions.
