Nice game, the puzzles were super interesting and it was funny seeing all the different thing the cat could do to distract the owners!

Cute artstyle! Amazing how you were able to include a backstory in 48 hours.

Very cute, I felt super terrible every time I failed my poor little birdie when I wasn't careful enough. Adorable cutscene in the beginning, very nice touch. Overall, a very neat, cute platformer!

Really great game! I didn't expect to see this kind of puzzle content but it was a welcome challenge.

Only drawback (and maybe this is just my stupidity) is that I could not beat lvl 3. I was on the web version, and literally tried everything for 30 minutes: droping glass into drawer, droping glass onto floor, jumping on roomba, picking up glass, giving bird to roomba, cheating the scale with glitches, etc.

Thank you very much for your feedback :)

Yeah in the kitchen there is also a certain sequence you have to perform the actions in - each action you can take enables you to do one thing or the other. We don't really explain it properly, but you need to make proper use of the scale to achieve one thing, and you can interact with the lower part of the shutters on the left side of the room (on the floor).

Thanks for giving it a try and for the feedback!

The game have a certain charm to it :)
Even if it maybe lacks some visual and technical sense, I loved that all levels were handcrafted and not generic at all! 

We need more such original games.

Thanks for your comment Radium! Happy you enjoyed playing it - all the animations and graphics that required were made by my friend, I only helped out with generic and kind of rushed elements because of the time limit. Thanks for the feedback :)
