How does you game fit the theme?
It's a story about how a little girl is protected from her fears by her pets. However she thinks otherwise - she is never alone.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we did everything from scratch except from music. We downloaded it from the OpenGameArt. Special thanks to HorrorPen, pauliuw, Alexandr Zhelanov Yubatake and ViRiX
ATTENTION GAMEPLAY TIPS&TRICKS
Since so many players have problem with beating 2nd level (which is on us of course for making it to hard if you don't the patterns we know) we decided to share some cheating knowledge about how to outplay this level.
1) Cats are fast! You gotta spam attack button.
2) What's more you gotta spam it both sides. You can change sides midair and attack some brussels that got past you. Some of them may die from hit even when you would think it won't. Try to figure out the real hitbox as it's a bit bigger than it seems to be unfortunately.
3) It's best to position the cat somewhere in the middle of the room and on the counter, since you fall faster than you jump.
And I guess that's all. You just have to slice these brussels changning direction cat aim almost everytime when something happens. But cats are great at acrobatics, aren't they? I hope it will help some of you to beat it. We put our hearts into some more content you can't even see because of this balance mistake.

Wow, super impressed! Loved every aspect of your game :D Thoughtful and well constructed game in all ways. Amazing job! <3
I really enjoyed it... Art and music is really nice... Keet it up
DO CHECK MINE
I liked the art. Mini games reminded me of Game and Watch.
The art work and music were great. I feel like it was kind of annoying to restart the entire phase when you fail though.
Great game! My favourite! Congratulations!
Amazing work you guys did here with the art style. The bird in the first level felt a bit too "slow" in a way once you reach the 3rd difficulty but otherwise it was a nice lil game. Good job!
really like this game, its unforgiving but still very fun, great job on the visuals too, they are beautiful! i just feel as if having a slight speed boost to the player would make it a bit more balanced!
Beautiful art, and I love how it fits with the theme. This is such a great idea to use this type of children fantasy.
Congratulations !
I really love the art of the game
The music is nice too
The game is really nice but for me is really difficult 😂
at first, I thought it was just the bird thing so after losing a bunch of times I quit then I saw in the comments that there are other levels so I managed to go back and get to the cat level but it's just intense😂
Maybe some minor difficulty balance or at least if I die at stage 2 let me repeat stage 2, not 1 😂😂
other than that it's a really good aesthetics if the game had an end it's really a shame I couldn't get to it
Great job!
Arts, animations and music are wonderful and match the vibe of the game perfectly. The idea is also great. The cat level was quite hard, but I've beaten it and stuck on the boss level xD
I'm glad to hear that some beat the brussels! You are the first one to mention boss fight. Could you give us more details about that level? Was it a bug or something or was it just something not explain well? According to my knowledge cat was worse to beat than boss! :D
Well, I was hit'n'running him with the dog, and every time I was near the border of the level I tried to jump above him. This was almost never worked out and I was losing health on this maneuver. Also when the actual fight starts I often took the first hit by standing too close to him xD.
Did you hold space or just click? We didn't mention it in the tutorial but if you hold it he jumped a bit higher. You tactic was on spot!
Omg, I didn't think about holding. Ty for the advice!
Ok, I finished the boss level! The game is really adorable and I really love the cat sprite and animations :3
The bird level is too easy and you can just stand in front of the house without any movement. I guess enemies should go not only to the centre of the house, but to the other direction too. Also checkpoints for every stage would be great too.
Boss level is a bit hard. In my opinion boss attacks should be a little bit slower.
Anyways, very nice game!
Glad to hear that! We will spend more time for testing for another game jams :D
Really loved this, SUPER aesthetic
Wow! Very unique idea! And the art is just beautiful! I like that tutorial is in the gameplay, not just a text before. This is definitely one of the best games I've seen on this jam. More people should play this game! But I the end of the brussels level was too hard for me. Audio perfectly matches style of the game. I had fun playing this, even when I was loosing! You should be proud of yourself what you accomplished.
Serio świetna robota!!
Yes, that's a big shame people can't get past cat level, because we spiced things up with the boss fight at the end of the game and it brings a bit different mechanics. :/ We tested it and it seemed hard but playable, but it surely makes a difference when you know how to position and how to attack to outplay the code! :D We failed on balance for sure. Next time we will let more people test it before we upload it.
I truly want to attain the good end, but I stuck at the final stage of the cat challenge...I asked my partner to try and he also stuck at the same stage. We were expecting 3 waves of enemies, but finally failed in the 4th wave. Missing one ball leads to game end...I hope the cat can move faster or allowing 1 to 3 misses, something like a shield protecting the door and the shield will be destroyed when the cat missed a number of balls. Or like others said, a checkpoint between waves. Other than the game difficulties, everything is nice and polished, graphics are very presentable and the music suits the theme. Great job!
We understand it's really hard! So in response to all of your comments we posted updated description when we explain how to beat it so you can expirience the whole game. It would be nice to have you try it once more with that additional knowledge.
The art is amazing! I just want to say though that it wasnt that fun to play, but everything else was on point!
The art for this game was on-point! Nice job! Do you mind rating mine when you get a chance?
I love the art, nice job :)
The art is just amazing, the background music fits perfectly, the theme is on point. I think one of the reason why this is so underrated is because of the gameplay being too long. (which is fine for a normal game, but not for jam) people want to go through it see all the unique mechanics and playing a same level (if you fail) that gets longer everytime with no checkpoint might be a turn off for a lot of people imo
Thanks, it's our first game jam so we didn't really know what to aim for. We would make it easier to play if we made it now.
Great game it was a blast playing it
The art is just amazed I dont know why is this so underated and no one is playing it.
I think look at the art and animations also with the spooky while relaxing music is already fun enough for a game so the difficulty could be lower like, lower the monster's speed
Other than the art the music is also cool do you mind credit them too xD
We credited music creators in screenshots. But thanks for pointing out it's not visible enough! We will look into it.
Great game! The music and art are great and compliment the feel of the game and the different minigames are nice to play
