loved the art style and the use of the prerequisite, would be amazing if there was more gameplay.

I love the character designs (especially death's!)
The background could use more refinement, but it is still quite serviceable

The gameplay is fun at the start but can get quite repetitive, so can the dialogue for death. Its good but maybe couldve used to  add lore and tell us more about the cat and death's relationship. How they found each other and became friends.

The game is still quite fun and charming! 

And also the game seems very polished and bugless. You did really great!

yeah I had multiple mental breakdowns trying to get a background that looks good but after a couple hours I just gave up and made it solid colors lmao

Submitted

Great game with great custom art!

The 2D audio cues on the mouse you chase are a really neat detail to help players figure out where it is!

For the future, I’d love to see more things to interact with and do in the world.

Good work!

Submitted

Some more items scattered around the world would have been nice but a very cool game nonetheless!

Submitted

The game looks very charming, but we think a few more details in the background would have improved the charm. We liked the cozy aspect in it as well.

Games where you get to play as a cat are always the best! It's adorable, I'd just like a bit more variety in the gameplay

Submitted

cat, i love cat. Quite repetitive, but cute cat is a cute cat

Submitted

Cozy small game! Love the cat, it's cute, I think if you refine this game, it can become really fun, because there is core (catching the mouse) and meta (bringing the mouse to death). It's addictive

Submitted

this is exactly the type of art i enjoy, i'm impressed by this even beyond it being a jam game !!!
incredibly charming, the atmosphere is perfect, the art is lovely, the ending punched me

it feels really intuitive and responsive to control, it would've been easy to get lost in the field, but the gradient towards the door in the center helps that perfectly

really love this, wonderful job, hope you had fun making it, and good luck !!!

yeah it was really funny playtesting back when I didnt have a tileset nor walls and could never find my way back to the door to check if it was working

An interesting game about a cat

Submitted

I really loved the dialogue. Overall it's a surprisingly atmospheric game, especially considering it's made for a game jam. That ending is also quite a banger!

Submitted

Relaxing… 🫠

Submitted

The game makes great use of the prerequisite, and it also has a very lovely aesthetic. Honestly, it's a really good execution of the theme. I'm not sure if the game has an ending, but it's a very solid concept.

Submitted

Super cute and fun game. I love all the different pieces of dialogue written after each life. Great job!

Submitted

I spent way longer on this than I expected. I wanted to see if there was an ending. Without spoiling anything, it was very well done. The cutest portrayal of death having an existential crisis I have ever seen.
