Push The Cat is an adorable letter/navigation puzzle. It's similar to 'Baba is You' in its mechanics, but is also entirely its own thing! For cat-lovers and logophile's alike, this game is a real brain-teaser wrapped in cat evangelism.

I fell in love with this game really fast! I'm not a cat person, but this definitely gave me 'Baba Is You' vibes. I especially appreciated how much personality went into all of the text; even though it was just another mechanic of the game. This was really well done!
The puzzles were challenging, albeit frustrating at times, but I was able to get all the way back to the main menu!
If I could make a suggestion; I think being able to access a menu would benefit the game a lot. I was afraid to exit the game (took me 2 sittings to play) for fear I'd lose my progress.

The creativity goes hand-in-hand with the gameplay in this instance. Having the letters be the controls was creative, clever, and... there are just so many layers of creativity here, and I love it!

You did a great job making the sentences part of the game. I'm giving 4 stars because I can't imagine that was very easy to pull off! I feel like there could have been audio, music, or maybe even some added visuals to enhance the experience; but you did an amazing job with what you had!
your reviews are sick dude! I love this detailed description on how you rate, I will make sure to check your game and give you a similar treatment. I really appreciate your efforts!
I'm really flattered that you like my reviews! And thanks for returning the favor!
Confirming my reviews. I left yours as-is. Am I following you yet? I'm giving you a follow. Look forward to see what comes next!
I pushed the restart button out of the level and got stuck :)
Overally a nice puzzle game, very difficult at times. The minimalist visuals are good though some music would help a lot. Still, a nice game
omg i really like this
just 1 thing: tracking letters is hard when they instantly teleport, just needs a slight interpolation in the position and the game will feel 100% polished to me
Great game, your Baba Is You inspiration really came through and it gave it a lot of charm, some of the puzzles are really good, when I got to the goal moving level my reaction was "WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT?!" and I think that says a lot about how cool the game concept and how well its executed
I clicked the A in How To Play by accident and immediately fell in love with this game
Level 18 was convoluted as hell though, needed the hint for that one xD
same lol
i didnt get to level 18 tho
Really cool idea, level 8 broke my brain though.
Very interesting and unique mechanic :)
Really creative game ! It's pretty emtpy, tho. But I guess I can't complain since the text is the level.
Wonderfully creative! At first I was so confused why W A S D were used instead of just arrows but once the words came out it blew me away! Great job!
Really really creative. I like puzzles and this is peak!
This is so clever!!
What an original idea. I love it when developers experiment with the limits of the game. Plus there are a lot of levels and they are super well designed. Even the simple graphics look great. It's very very good. Congratulations!
Very clever level design!
This is actually such a good game. Real clever puzzle game and real cute!
Good iteration on the Baba is You concept, had fun playing the 20 levels! Puzzles were smart and well designed.
Swapping the roles of WASD is such an ingenious idea, and the theme in general works on so many levels for this game. That alone would be great, but the puzzles were so good on top of that I couldn’t help but playing through them all (and having fun with each one!) I also loved the little phrases written on each level, added so much flavor while also contributing to the difficulty of the puzzles. Best game I’ve played for this jam so far!
This is sooo clever! Baba is You vibes all over the place. Really enjoyed it - great job!
Really cool idea and well executed. The whole control system is really interesting.
