Really loved this one! the narration was really good and the art was also nice! I really loved the variety of challenges like playing piano and math. plus the final chase at the end was cool.

Played on stream and left feedback throughout. So cool that you were able to take the same character and make a completely different style of game. Really well done.
Clever narration/commentary with a fun story. Also liked the callback to the first combination the narrator mentioned, was a clever puzzle to figure out! I got a bit stuck towards the end though, couldn't figure out how to get past the fist chasing me, as I know other commenters have pointed out.
Really love the color palette and the narration! The piano level was super fun. I had difficulty with the hands level like some other commenters, but got to the end eventually. Great work!
Great use of limited colours here! I loved your puzzles and all the panels and control rooms and the pianos! (really liked how you could bump to the first piano and make noises!).
The piano level was great, especially how you coded in the rest of the song to come in triumphantly!
Congratulations! I think this is a fantastic submission where sound is used in different ways to pass the puzzles. Listen to the narrator, create the right pattern of sound and solve the math problems. Nice story jump with cat escaping, unfortunately with the hands, even with the hints I couldn't pull it off. But that doesn't influence my rating at all. Great clear voice acting!
and again, the colour palette completely transformed your game in my opinion this round!
Fantastic submission in my opinion, you found a great way to explore the theme in more than one situations, something I wish I had managed to also pull off. Awesome!
The narrative was interesting, I liked the piano level. Some of the art was a bit wonky in terms of pixel scale, but I really liked the colors and simple vibe you were going for with it. Good game.
Excellent game! I made it to the end and like the whole story, sounds and gameplay. I didn't read the spoiler in the comments until now. I thought there'd be one last panel to go through with those numbers written by the hand and maybe something with 506 I think it was. Anyways, the puzzles were fun to solve and I really like the use of the piano in the game and the whole idea in general is awesome!
*Spoiler (read if you struggle with level with "hands")
I found that many people face difficulty when playing a level with "hands". You need to wait on a high island for the first hand, and as soon as it goes back and can't reach th cat, run to the right without stopping to the shelter in the form of a platform below.
I will update and add hints as soon as rating closes

I had fun, the concept was great and the audio was well done. I couldn't get past the hand though and quit after trying several times.
