The game is nice. The controls feel a bit wonky or laggy though, otherwise good job!

Developer

Thanks!

The visual is so cute. It's amazing to make the game in a week by one person.  Great work :)

Thanks.

I suck at this kind of games, so I didn’t get very far. But I liked the style, the art, the execution so much!

Developer

Thanks!

Played your game on stream on YT 😊

Developer(+1)

That's awesome! I'll check out your stream. Thank you.

Really cute cat model choice :) Once I understood the controls it was really easy and short to blast through it all. I did find the lack of air control a challenge and not in a fun way? Like the game just feels really clunky because of it. Maybe that’s the point, but I wish I had a little more control and then the challenges could be harder. Nice work putting this together though!

Developer(+1)

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for playing!

Fun game! Though I would have liked more control in the air. Also, if you move to the side while catching the bisquit the cat gets stuck in the walk animation. I think that looked funny and maybe something to keep? :P

Developer

Thank you.

This was just as fantastic as I'd hoped!
I absolutely love this. I love the core concept of a cat climbing a tree for a treat at the top, and this concept was executed flawlessly! The controls are easy to pick up quickly, the momentum and bounce mechanics are fun to toy with and try new things.

The introduction of new mechanics over levels (the bounce pad, then the clouds, and the combination of both) feels perfectly paced and keeps it interesting! This also really hit that perfect sweet spot in difficulty - it's just the right amount of challenging and rewarding, which is an incredibly difficult balance to find within the window of a jam.

On top of this, the music and sound effects fit the aesthetic perfectly, and I especially loved the little reaction animations of the leaves and clouds when landing on them. Those details really added a lot to how the game felt!

Developer

Thanks for your review!

Good game, I really think the controls could be improved but I like it, good job.

Developer

Thanks!

Love the visuals and sounds. Great game overall.

My first thought when playing this game was "that's a croissant not a biscuit" but then I realized this technically counts as insulting the French so you get bonus points for that. Well, it has the "biscuit", has some risk thanks to the timer and the fact that you can't change direction while jumping. Heck, every single jump feels like I'm taking a risk. I'm not sure if it was intentional but congrats either way, it fits the theme. Now look, if you think I'm gonna give you 5 stars for visuals just because you got a cute cat from the unity asset store then you're absolutely goddamn right.

Developer

Lol. I saw that 3d model and I had to use it! Thanks for playing. Yea, I couldn't find a "biscuit" 3d model. I thought croissant was close. 

Submitted

Nice little game, the controls could do with some tweaking, particularly air control.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Hey cool Mario hat on your profile icon.

Submitted

The game looks cute, good job!

Player doesn't respond very well :(

Developer

Sorry about that. I got to tweak the controls for sure. Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

The jumping is kinda hard maneuver around while on air. Haha
Did you tie the jump sound effect to the space bar key? I can hear the jumping sound effect before the cat jump before the game start haha

Please try my game too.

Developer (1 edit)

Haha. Yes. I tied the jump sound effect to the space bar key and when you hit the trampoline. Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

I can see this turn into a rage climbing game for streamers haha

Developer

omg. that would be hilarious.

Submitted

Great!!

Developer

thanks!

Submitted

At first the player movement was a bit frustrating, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I think the visual aspect of the game is the best part, I really like the cat. The jumping sound was a bit annoying, especially when it played every time you press SPACE, ignoring if you actually jumped or not. It's a nice short experience, good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I saw that cat in the Unity3d asset store, and was very excited to use it. I appreciate the feedback about jumping. I would like to tweak jumping based on player's velocity in the air next version.   

Submitted

Really interesting player movement!! Love the art style.

Developer

Thank you.

Submitted

It looks good but I don't know if it's possible to jump right :D

Developer

Thanks for playing!
