Fun little game, easy to pick up and play :D (love the cat). For some reason the game doesn’t fully fit on my screen (1920x1080) so I couldn’t click the buttons at the bottom :(. I also had some issues starting the game, the cursor was a bit offset from the buttons

The art here is charming, though I had an issue where the window didn't seem to fit the game properly. It looked like some of the top and bottom got cut off a bit.

Gameplay-wise, I like the climbing auto-platformer style, but I found the hitboxes hard to deal with. Sometimes I would bounce off things as expected, sometimes, I wouldn't catch them (assuming I didn't get high enough). I beat level 0, and tried for probably 5+ minutes to beat level 1, but never got to the end. I expected the cat hands to be a friendly thing, but the seem to kill me - so I'm still not sure what those are.

One thing that I think would greatly help the game feel is to have the camera get ahead of the cat when you get the buttered toast. I think I died almost every time I got a piece of toast because I would be able to react to enemies coming in from the top of the screen.

But those things aside, this is a great base for a game and could feel really good with a couple small quality-of-life tweaks.

Wow to the graphics! The controls are a little difficult, especially attacking the enemies as you jump up. Pretty fun! Great work!

Generally, it's so cute! The jokes about cats are so funny! There are several things I think can be improved:

  • The level is a bit hard, the projectiles always hit me, when I have to pass through them...
  • Some items can be highlighted with an outline,  in case it missed during the rolling of the background.
  • there can be some simple rewards, such as lovely cat images or gifs. (I prefer cats' love, more than the lady's hahaha.)
  • Maybe it's for Mobile, so there is a little problem with the display. the interface attached to the bottom of my screen, and hide part of text behind my Windows Toolbar. And it cannot be moved. Also, sometimes when I click the button on the homepage, it didn't work.

Good luck! Look forward to your games!

Thank you for playing and put forward such valuable suggestions. We will keep work to improve game experience in future updates.

As for the lovely cats you asked, I would beg our artist to do that, hahaha~

Lovely art! I especially love the cat's design. The idea is great as well but I feel like the game might be a bit too hard or that at least I'm pretty bad at it ^ ^' Sometimes it felt like there should be more player feedback on when something hit you. I did love the obstacles you created tho, especially the curiosity one, at first I was so confused why I just kept dying when I deliberately went to it to see what would happen and then it hit me, genius.

With a bit more fine-tuning on the gameplay side of things I thing this could be a solid game but even as it stands now I still think it's something you can be proud of, well done :)

I'm glad you like the art of our game. The design of Cat was inspired by the Boss in Cuphead——The Devil. And thank you so much for your feedback, which is very helpful for us to optimize the game in the future!

Love your game too~ I've played till the end. Looking forward to more levels~ヽ(^▽^)ノ
