Why are so many games in this jam that trigger my Lion King SNES PTSD haha !! Nice work i love the artstyle. But the game has a way to steep difficulty curve. In my opinion that would lead to many people drop the game before they even see the cool transformations.
This is only a small nitpick. The gameplay feels good and the controls also (which is realy important for an platformer). Good work!

Very pretty artstyle! the cat sliding on landing is a bit hard to deal with especially for a platformer. Stil pretty good tho

Build to get scales.The art is very cute and the transformations are cool, was hard to see where the pink balls were coming from in the first lvl, and too fast to dodge them. Overall a decent game!

Cards of JusticeThis is absolutely amazing ! It needs to be continued and developped even after the jam with more levels and harder ones. I think the movements felt a bit weird, but it was all good and manageable. Great game !

SCALDRIS : The Arcane ArchitectI disagree with the others, I thought the movement felt good and I beat the game pretty quickly. The art is cute btw, good job!

Light EvadeWhat was in those kibbles that would turn Misty into a giant anthro cat and then into a Totoro-like creature? O.O
While, I had a hard time dealing with the player's slippery movement and the projectiles seemingly coming out of nowhere, I still managed to beat all three levels of the game and got at least 1-2 stars on each of them. Overall, I had a nice time playing this game despite its setbacks.

Stronger TogetherI loved the art style of this game and really enjoyed the music and gameplay as well. I wasn't expecting to turn into an enormous cat by level 3 haha, but I loved it. Levels 2 and 3 were definitely more challenging, but that's not criticism lol, I love challenges and had a fun time trying to complete the game. The only thing I found frustrating was that the ascending platforms didn't come back down, so if you messed up, then you pretty much had to restart. Great job with this game though, especially since it was a first for some of you. I hope to see more games from some of you in the future!

CrescendoI started with level 1 because it was the first on the list...died...and then went on to find the tutorial, which helped a lot of course ^^
The game's idea is nice, my main critique would be that on most (all?) levels it seems that you can get soft locked because there's not enough treats available to finish the level, but you're not dead either so you have to manually restart.
Overall it's a cute game, and the fact that you're playing a cat is always a bonus ;) Congratulations!
