I like it! very well done! :)
I don't really understand the out of control part of it but with a bit more polish & bugfixes
I think this could make a great game!
Why am I so tired? What is this place where *gestures at the news*? Why do I feel like I can relate to this cat?
Really great how it goes about introducing you to the mechanics. Some good old skool game design. Good stuff :)
I think I've seen three games already in this Game Jam with the same mechanics as your game's. It's interesting how you can have the exact same idea as other people around the world! It's still cool though!
very cute, very stress-free puzzle game. Love the sound effect & dialog too. That spiral level got me dizzy and I still haven't beat it yet! Good job!
The limited move action tied to the text is really clever. Beside that, using a cat gives you extra point, of course! Good job :)
The boxes game is pretty overused game mechanic but I like the spin you put on it with a limited moveset! And I also love how you presented how many moves you have left. The progression was really good with reguraly introducing new mechanics and building on those mechanics and overal it was just a fun game.
It's very nice that you made game about your cat :D. Puzzles are qutie interesting, though it seemed I ran into bugs few times, restarting level when I didn't fail. I love the fact that 'Space" meows :3. Quite good level design and possible to extend to simple mobile puzzle game. Good job! Also, check out my game :).
Thanks for commenting! The "bug" you most likely ran into was an intentional feature - keep an eye out for the colored words at the top of the screen. As you move, the letters gray out from right to left, signifying the amount of moves you have left; the level will automatically restart when you run out, as that is in fact a failure condition =)
Oh, I didn't notice. It could be more clear unless I missed some instructions :D
It could probably be a bit more clear ingame, yeah. It's spelled out in the description just below the game, however =)
I really like the turn limit being the letters, it leads to a really nice elegance of design. I'm also very impressed you made so many puzzle stages that had the exact same number of moves as the words lol. Great job.
While this game doesn't seem very original in terms of game mechanics ("push boxes in the right order to active switches" has been done a million times,) it did, however, make me smile. The cat sound effects were adorable!
I liked it! It took me a minute to realize the letters were the energy indicator, though.
Charming little puzzle game!
It's clever how you show the amount of steps left in the letters of a word.
