This is fun. The platforming mechanics - especially wall climb / wall jump - felt very snappy. The "preview level" mechanic is a nice touch.

Hey! we had a super similar idea! I had a hard time with wall climbing. I like your execution of it a lot, nice controls and destuction animation.

I'm Just A Cat [GAME JAM]Great game! It feels very polished, the platforming is perfect and the artstyle is very nice too.
It reminded me of our game, although our cat is less evil :)

Nine Lives Too ManyLike the visuals and a fun experience however I'm not sure why the game is lagging for me during the explosions. Well done.

Totally Normal Power PlantLoved this! It was really satisfying to break stuff. The incompetech stuff is so good isn't it? You picked a great track. The cat sprite was really nicely animated too.

Sterling's RunI love the art for this game! It's so cute and stylish and really ties together the adorable chaos of an unattended and mischievous cat :3 Jumping is a bit hard to control, but aside from that this feels like a really solid platformer, but I think that is mainly due to jump being on the 'up' key and not a mechanical flaw. Great job!
This is a nice little cat platformer! I booted up the game solely because of the cats, not gonna lie. But the game does look fabulous! The art is good, the cat is cute, love the levels and the harsh time limit too. I would also like to praise the fact that there are in-level tutorials and that is a very good thing indeed! Good job on that!
The main issue for me is that the controls are a bit unconventional. I do get used to the controls eventually and was having a blast, but its really difficult to understand especially when you just started the game. From my understanding, it seems to be "jump towards the wall with an upward momentum -> wait a bit to trigger the climbing animation -> release and press jump -> quickly change direction if needed" and I've struggled a lot at the first two steps. Not sure how can you fix this without breaking the climbing mechanics, but I'd suggest removing the upward momentum requirement. It may work I don't know.
Anyway, this is quite a nice entry! Well done!
Definitely is a cute lil' platformer!
Very satisfying to break pots!
Main issue I had was wall jumps feeling a bit janky.
Other than that good job!

4 Jobs at the Same TimeThis is SO slick! I love everything about the visuals and the concept. Only thing is the camera's a bit jittery when you move around and it's a little distracting, but the gameplay itself feels great.
