How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
You play as a witch, who collects stray black cats. You also can fight ghosts. Plus I kept up a gameboy aesthetic as best as I could

Charming little game. The realistic cat sound was a nice touch.
I died a little on the inside when I saw Alt was a control (I detailed on another game how my Window Manager gets overexcited when I press Alt and a direction and simulates a continually-pressed key). I desperately searched for an alternate binding, but grudgingly accepted my fate when I found there were none.
The jump is a little stiff, but otherwise seemed decent.
I didn't get particularly far, but it seemed the amount of cats was intentionally ludicrous.
Sorry about the controls! I meant to add more options, but it slipped my mind at the end. Thanks for playing and commenting! :D
I love cats, but I think having 50 in my house may be a little bit overboard. I think the witch from your game and the reaper from mine would not be good friends. A cute platformer with a simple concept, keep at it. Oh, and... Meow.
Super cute! We need more variety in cat sounds!
Thanks! I was planning to add another cat sound, but my cat wouldn't cooperate when I had my phone out to record lol
This is so cute :) I have a black cat of my own as well, does that make me a witch?
I love the sound when you collect the cats!
Meow. Would be funny if you could sell the cats like they are Mario coins :)
Super cute. The noise the cats make when you pick them up are so great.
What could be better than gathering cats to soothing music? At some point, fireballs began to spawn and fly in the opposite direction.
I died more times than I'd like to admit. Controls feel great though, despite my ineptitude. Very fun.
