How does the game fit the theme?
Everyone knows cats have nine lives, but not only that... They're practically invincible!
This short story follows Mimi, our cat hero with all nine lives intact. Why? You may ask. Because for a cat living in a perfectly safe and guarded house, nothing can go wrong. But what if she's tired of her perfect world? What if she's dying to go to kitty heaven, a paradise for cats where excitement knows no bounds?
Help her find a way to spend all nine lives... Nine lives too many.

This is one of the best games I've played in this game jam. You should be really proud of the work you did on this one! The art, the music, the gameplay, it all just works so well. Nice job on this!
Wow, thanks!
love it! I only figured out 7 ways to kill the cat before i looked for help- i got stuck on the vents. I think adding some more sound effects could make it even better! My favorite part is the graphics and animations(the books and bowling ball falling looked especially cool)
Thank you!!
Great game!! !It was a lot of fun finding all the possible ways I could commit suicide...
The gameplay was great, maybe the platforming part was a little bit hard : adding a little bit of coyote jump would have helped (or you know, skill issue I guess...).
The music was great and did not feel too repetitive. I would have loved some SFX when interacting with the world.
Finally, as written by others already, the ventilation entrance was really hard to guess without any hint.
A great entry, congrats!
Thank you for your feedback! SFX, coyote time and a hint for the ventilation one are things we will add in the future.
Great art, nice music and well though out gameplay! Great job! The ventilation one sure could have had some more obvious hint though...
True, I may add some hint to that in the future. Thanks!
Great game! I liked the puzzle solving. I got stumped on the bathroom part for a while though.
Thanks!
Super cool game! I love the art and concept. It's very fun to explore the environment and see what's interactive. Well done :)
Thank you :)
What a game, I loved trying to kill my cat !
More seriously, this game is so fun, and the idea is brilliant and hilarious, it fits the theme incredibly well !
Now I'm in the cat heaven I want to go to cat heaven heaven ( by finding ways to die in heaven) !!
Good job, epic submission !
Thank you! That's a good idea for a sequel!
Cats AND puzzles? Count me in! That poor cat! I only found 7 ways but it was fun nonetheless. Great submission!
Thanks!!
Very good, but sad game. I found all 9 ways; the freezer and ventilation in the room could be made a bit more obvious. And why are the clouds yellow? The 'Welcome' button froze everything; was that an exit for the desktop version? The melancholic music is very beautiful—simple but really resonated with me. Excellent visuals and animations. Great job!
Thank you :)
Yes, that was the quit button, it doesn't work in the web version.
Nice idea (acually no, I like cats and don't want them to die)! Nice graphics, audio, everything! Amazing job for 7 days!
Thank you!
I hope Kitty Heaven is worth being crushed by your owner.
Good game, good art. Nice job
Thanks, I'm sure it is!
Nice game with a cute graphics. BGM has good and I think you can improved with some sound effect. I want to play more.
Thanks!
Wow this is a really fun game! I love the art and animations. It seems like we had similar interpretations of the theme! I couldn't figure out all 9 ways to die (I got stuck after 8) but I still had a really good time playing it!
Yes it seems we had the same idea! Thank you, I loved you game too :)
very pretty art. I wish sound setting slider was available. Kinda made me jump with headphones on. Overall very cute.
Sorry to hear that, it's true we didn't have time to implement it.
Really cool idea, a puzzle game where the goal is to die :)
Thank you :)
Really fun game! Love the idea, and the art is wonderful. I’m down to my last life!
Thanks!
I really like your game. The idea is great, and the artwork looks awesome.
Thank you!!
Overall a fun game but there is little direction to the goal of it. What am I suppose to do kill the person with a bowling ball?
Super cute btw! Love the cat animation!
Yes, unfortunately we didn't have time to have a proper tutorial, we were just hoping that the goal would be easy to understand once the player explored the house for a while.
This is one of the better games I've played so far, really smooth gameplay, beautiful art, straight to the point and full story. I really had a good time playing and would play again. You did a fantastic job 10/10
Wow, thank you so much!!
The visuals are so cute, and I feel really relaxed with the game and its music. Everything fits together perfectly! I also love the fact that there are 9 lives—such a nice touch!
Thank you! Glad to see that you noticed that detail.
