Wow, the concept is fantastic, Really a great game! Congrats!
Nice art style and neat idea. Great work!
So far one of my favourite game jam games. Great job. I really loved how you used the nine lives to get you through the levels.
Absolutely fantastic
The little cat adventurer is cute, the music choices are great, the look and feel of everything is fantastic.
The use of the mechanic for the theme, and leaning in heavily on the cat having lives to re-do and use their previous lives to solve the puzzles? Absolutely wonderful
Great! I really lobed this one
Excellent game, I hope this one ranks very highly. The mechanics are introduced at good pace, and the checkpoints keep it from being frustrating. Top quality art and music. My only criticisms are a few softlocks (pic included) and a few spikes that fall on you from off screen.
Thanks for playing!
There is a few twitchs we would like to fix or pay more attention so we'll keep ur review in mind when doing so!
Thank you so very much for the attention and the feedback! Means a lot to us!
Thank you! On soft blocks, we've tried to get rid of most of them, but it's still very hard because the player can die anywhere... There's a reset button for when that happens, but I wonder since you brought it up: should we somehow introduce this idea of blocking yourself and that reseting is ok and part of the gameplay? Or should we smooth our levels so that there is always a way out?
I'd say smooth out the potential softlocks. Levels designed around potentially softlocking would get tedious unless the levels were much shorter in my opinion. I also had a reset button in my game, it's probably the best way to go about it in a jam.
Great low-res graphics. Love the puzzle play and using cat corpses to change landscape!
Beautiful game, lovely puzzle solving mechanics.
I liked the 9 lives level thought that was a neat touch.
very weill crafted!
fun game, very hard though, nicely done overall
Great game! I love the graphics, and it's fun when not frustrating, haha. Gives me Celeste vibes, and I mean that in the best way possible.
