Sans for one, I rated the rest 5/5

Very well made. Very fun experience. This is awesome. Thanks for participating!

P.S.: Dev, I have been trying to solve the puzzle without removing the long jar box for hours now. If possible, can you send me a recording of you solving it? This is going to keep me up at night T^T 

P.S.2: Nvm turns out a similar puzzle already exists

Ok, that was charming as hell. I didn't know what to expect going in, but I was thoroughly entertained. Love the hand-drawn art, and the story was cute and great length for a jam game.  I enjoyed the variety of gameplay too. The gameplay itself maybe could be improved, and the dialogue probably could use another pass to kick it up a notch.

But despite those criticisms I still really had a great time play. One of my favorites so far!

The puzzle just about drove me crazy, I ended up having to use the hint after. This was pretty cute though, and I liked the look of it. Definitely kind of an inverse difficulty curve cause the puzzle was a lot more difficult than the fight, but I don't think it's that big of a deal. The music was nice, but I think it stopped playing after a while, which left the puzzle solving pretty quiet.

Thanks for uploading!

The hand drawn style is so cute and makes the game incredibly memorable. I haven't gotten the puzzle solved without help but I swear I will one day!  I wish the boss itself was as hard as the puzzle though but besides that I had a great time!

I loved the game and its hand drawn art. The first puzzle is kinda hard but I ended up figuring it out how it works. The boss part wasn't as hard even before the transformation.

Charming, entertaining and full of personality!

Glad you loved our little creation. 

Did you really solve the puzzle without shopkeepers help? I struggled a lot with it. Congratulations anyway.

Great art, funny story, length is just right. Maybe a little heavy on the jokes, and the different gameplay segments could be more polished. But overall really impressed by what you've managed to do!

Glad you liked it

Sooo cute! I like that hand drawn style. A mechanic of lightning when you need to make the cat's eyes pleading is hilarious

This was so creative and funny! I love the work that was put into this game. A very unique and enjoyable experience, I especially loved the little anime details in a lot of the backgrounds.

Loved the little cat meter thing, and was nice overall, but gameplay was a bit lacking.

Love the art style!
