I would honestly download the intro song that was really good.
Thank you! You can actually get the mp3s from github repo (assets > sound), but it may sound different because I tweaked the pitch a bit in unity to match the animations.
Very interesting puzzles! Fun to play!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Amazing gameplay, graphics and sounds! Good job. Nothing to add.
Thank you!
You did an amazing job learning pixel art, and garageband to come out with a great project like this.
The game is polished, art is perfect, music is great and text sound effects are wholesome.
The drag and drop mechanics are satisfying as well.
Thank you so much :) I'm glad you enjoyed playing!
Wow, your game is really a masterpiece! The graphics and the music are so good. And the game control is really innovative. How did you finish all these in one month?! amazing....
thank you so much for your kind words! I wish I had more time to make more stages, but yeah it was tough making it on my free time while still learning how to make pixel art and make music with garageband. But it was fun making it and I guess thats whats important at the end of the day. :)
Love it!, the history and gameplay is quite fun, also the music and graphics are great :D!
Thank you so much for playing!
Fun and unique puzzle game! I enjoyed the cute dialogue too :)
I had to replay the beginning twice to get my head around the way the tiles work, but that's on me for not reading properly the first time haha :D
Thank you for playing :) I will defintely try to make things alot more intuitive on my next project, and it was a good lesson to be learnt with your honest comment :) BTW Your project was awesome.
Neat and very cute and fun story telling mechanic. I like that at first it looked like it was going to be a simple "put the pieces in the right order and hit play to see it play out" only to realize that "no, this is how you control the game by moving these piece" plus allowing me to continuously have play ON while I move things around gave me an extra self-imposed challenge :D
very glad you enjoyed it! Yeah initially it wasnt planned to be like this but a bug in my coding introduced me to realtime and it felt okay and went with it :) Thank you for playing!
This is a really fun and unique game. I especially like the opening and fusing animations. There are also quite a few music in it and they all reflect on the level well.
I think that there isn't enough time/opportunities to get familiar with the new tiles. I would be more comfortable when I get to use the same tiles a few more times before introducing a new one. The reset is also a little confusing since it's different the reset button in most puzzle games.
Still, I really like the game and its mechanics. Great job!
thank you for your great feedback. I totally agree with you and i guess my greediness couldn't be resisted to add more new features/tiles than to have a smooth learning curve. :)
What a fresh new idea, I love how the puzzles are unique but also well explained. There were some errors like resetting the level does not seem to reset all the elements and once you hit play you can't pause it again.
Thank you for playing! You are right about the reset button, it was originally meant to be a full reset, but I've slimmed it down to just positioning to sort of ease the difficulty by leaving the environment as it is (which kind of makes sense that the creatures are replaced every time they are dead, but not the environment). Also the play and can't stop part is design intentions, where I had a pause button but took it out cuz it kinda felt fun just moving tiles around in real-time. It's a question which I am still considering whether or not to revive the pause button :) So your comment is very helpful.
Definitely one of the most unique games on the list. Loved the music and animal crossing dialogue! Really fun :)
Wow thank you for playing and feedback! Your comment just made my day :)
I had a really fun time playing this game. It required a few big brain plays. Super duper polished as well. Can't wait for the expansion pack.
Thank you so much for playing and generous feedback. BTW I really loved your game (that I even mention your game on my page!!) :D
What a great concept! Execution was done very well. I really enjoyed the cause and effect system. Graphics were charming and like the music as well. I liked how there was surprising new tiles at every level which really made you think. I appreciated the question mark and reset buttons too! I liked stopping the actions mid-action by moving tiles really quickly to solve the puzzles. Animation too, it was fun seeing what I would become next on each stage :) Nicely done!
Thank you so much for playing my game!
I was going to stop playing games then I saw the title was about cats, so I clicked it… And what I got was bacteria !
I did play through a few levels though, but I’m pretty sure I should have paid more attention to the instructions. Thing is, instructions out of context don’t click for me. I need to see the game, so I have a terrible habit of clicking past intro dialogues and it does me no favours!
Still, it was good to play something a bit different, and I was sort of getting it. But I wanted cats! :D
Yeah, intuitiveness has always been the hardest part to deliver... due to my lack of art skills and game design skills. I'll always keep in mind to make my future work more understandable. Thank you for trying out my game and your honest feedback! Really helpful!
Amazing game, loved the Celeste like dialog sounds, the music and SFX!
The gameplay is on point, but I think the game broke in a later puzzle, the UI didn’t shown up I wasn’t able to press the “Play” button.
But quite good, would play more of it.
Thank you for the feedback and sorry about the last stage bug, I will look into that!
I've fixed the bug and updated it (it was a very stupid mistake)!
Please check it out if you're interested!
Is working now, thanks for that cool puzzles, loved the last one with the sun and cloud! :D
Didn't manage to make create a cat. But really cool game!
Thank you for playing! I was actually concerned about the difficulty, wish I had more time to add more stages so that users can get used to the tiles more.
Unique game mechanic. I managed to get to wildcat (I am not sure if game ends at that point, I couldn’t do anything once I got to that level).
Great game, fun mechanic and cute graphics and sounds.
Thank you for checking my game out! must be a bug there or something... Thanks for letting me know!
I've fixed the bug and updated it (it was a very stupid mistake)!
I've also opened the dev cheat where if you press c on your keyboard it will skip to the next level.
Please check it out if you're interested!
Great! Cheat is useful too, to return to where I was earlier. Great game, I am now stuck on next level, but I will figure it out later :D Really fun game, love it!
loved the game mechanic and idea! i managed to become a frog :) evolution animation is so satisfying.
the '?' button helped a lot for me to know what is what.
cute graphic and sound. keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for playing, and your kind words!
enjoyed playing! the art and sounds was great, and the gameplay is unique, overall great puzzle/action game! congratulations! keep it up!
Thank you so much for playing! Great to hear you enjoyed playing!
