Super cute art style! I like that auto scrolling part and I like cheese. Here are some stars 🌟 for you! Congrats for your game!

 Very cool game, the visual is just perfect, the idea itself is also nothing

I almost went for this concept for my game (endless runner where your only input is to swicth betweeen two pre determined sizes), i like the idea of the two sizes being linked to two different characters

Submitted(+1)

Great variation from the many puzzle game about switching sizes, this worked well and the art was really good! One thing though: I wish the camera wouldn't follow the player when you jumped, it's annoying that I can't see the ground before its too late (makes it hard to react in time, when you cant see a small stump before you've already landed).

Developer

thank you so much! that's a great point, thanks for the feedback appreciate it!

Adorable art style!! The best I've seen in this competition yet!
The game is a bit simplistic, but I enjoyed it. Good job! :)

Developer

Nice and easy to pick up! Love the premise, I was able to collect all but 5 pieces of cheese :-: Keep up the good work!

Developer

yay thank you! if there was a scoreboard you'd be up there for sure haha

I really love the animations and character implementation, I love that it feels like two separate characters helping each other even though you are controlling both.

Developer

this is so nice, thank you!!

Submitted

I've been waiting to find a game that implemented cheese xD

Art style is amazing and game play is nice and simple!

Something to note however; the soundtrack does take a while to actually start!

The gameplay is simplistic but the art is gorgeous.

I had a game journalist moment at the start, I really feel if the controls were in the game screen it'd be much better!

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Developer

thank you sm! that's a great suggestion i'll try it out, really appreciate the feedback!

thank you!

Fantastic art direction! The style, colors, music, cute animals, etc. all work well together. I really like how you chose to interpret the theme. The screen seemed too zoomed in on the characters and made it a bit hard to see where the cheese and obstacles were, and some reaction times were a little too short for my tastes between having to switch characters and the floaty cat jump.  This is definitely the kind of running game I'd play to pass the time on my phone, I like it a lo. Congratulations on making it! :D

thank you so much!! really appreciate the feedback, thanks for taking the time to write it, I'll have a look at how i can improve those issues!

Submitted(+1)

While I couldn't beat the game and was confused on what to do at first, I still had a good time playing it. I liked how you had to use the cat to jump over high areas and use the mouse to squeeze through small areas.

Developer

thank you i'm glad u liked it! i'll have a look at the instructions and see how i can improve them, appreciate the feedback :)

The atmosphere of this game is my favorite; I love the overcast environment & the visual filter over the game. It feels super nostalgic & the animation are just the cherry on top. You made such a charming game!

Developer(+1)

aw thank you so much! means a lot that's exactly what i was going for!

Submitted(+1)

Of course! Thank you for creating such a great game!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing art and a cool interpretation of the theme. A UI showing how much time is left would be great. Fun game, great job!

Developer

thank u!! appreciate the feedback i'll try to incorporate something like that, great idea

Submitted(+1)

Cute, fun game, nice work!

Developer

thank you bobby! glad u like it

Submitted(+1)

I like the assets a lot, they are beautiful and blend well with the music. The mechanic of switching between the 2 characters is very fun :) At first I thought it was a glitch when the characters got stuck to the edges but I think that would be easy to fix with a new sprite pose when they hit the wall. But ofcourse I understand that there were time constraints so take that with a grain of salt. I think you did a great job! 

Developer(+1)

thank u so much i'm glad u like it! i'll definitely add a stuck pose after the jam is over, that's a great idea tysm

Submitted(+1)

Really nice take on the theme and beautiful art. I wish the camera wouldn't move up when we jump but the gameplay feels overall really smooth and enjoyable. Good job!!

Developer

Thank you!! really appreciate the feedback, i'll test it out!

The art style is perfect and pairs great with the music!
I don't know if it's because of my browser (Firefox), but I could only see the bottom half of my cheese counter and had no idea there was a time limit until I lost. The camera also moved very quickly and I didn't feel like I had enough time to react to obstacles or even see where the cheese was.

Developer(+1)

thank u sm! I'll look into why that happened, I use chrome and didn't have any issues. thanks for the feedback!! very helpful as i didnt have time to let ppl test it out. I'll fix it up and update when the Jam is over :)
