Beautiful play, very artistic, introspective and poetic. For a game made in 3 days, it is really of great quality :)
Also, to interact with the cats, do you have to press a particular key? Because I didn't succeed haha, but I still liked the end of the story, and it makes sense with the theme and the limitation :)
Bravo bravo bravo, if it were up to me I would put you on the podium
Thank you for playing and thank you for the high praise :)
To interact with the cats you press "z", the round cats love fish so you throw that at them and the long cats love being played with so you have to repeatedly wriggle the stick until the hearts appear. I hope this makes sense haha :)
Thank you so so much, your praise means a lot :)
The art style and the music is amazing! I just wish there was a tutorial as I was extremely lost and confused... However, it is a beautiful game. Just WOW. :))
Aww thank you so much! Sorry about the lack of tutorial, time was mildly against us ahaha but I'm glad you still liked the visuals :)
Wow! One of the best visuals from game! I like this vibe a lot.
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed the vibes :)
Beautiful game. I really like what you did with the art direction, and small touches like the flip when changing direction and different pose for jumping. Impressive you were able to pack in this much high quality art in the limited time.
The gameplay was pretty simple, but the presentation made me happy to just exist in the world. Great job!
Thank you so much for commenting and I am so happy you like the art and enjoyed just existing hehe :) It was pretty rushed to get everything done but we are both very happy with how much we got in, next time we will nail the gameplay as well :P
Nice relaxing game. The art is excellent, and the music suits the game perfectly. Some more effects and it would be perfect. Great job!
Thank you so much :)
I think first things first, Damn the art is gorgeous and I just love the whole vibe going on. Very relaxed.
Gameplaywise isnt that much to comment on, you walk around and look at cats and amazing art, so its quite enjoyable haha. Would have loved a more concrete goal and loop, but there is nothing wrong with simple games about just taking it all in and enjoying.
I really enjoyed the use of heaven, and how its a cat cafe. Considering how dream like the whole thing is, its hard to say if this is the characters personal heaven, if the Cafe is a heaven for the cats and your an angel, or something else. Really fun to think about.
Rescuing cats was a bit confusing at first, but I did get a hang of it, I do wish there was more feed back on things in general, a sound effect when you select and use items, I didnt realize I was over watering the plant the first time so a sound on that would have helped with that too, lots of little things like that could have helped alot I feel. Maybe something telling me how to get more fish and rods haha.
Overall was quite a fun little experience and again, the art was just mmm so nice, loved it.
Fantastic work
Thank you so much! And thank you for taking the time to write such a long review <3
Yea we kept it pretty simple, we are still trying to figure out our design process and limitations as this is our second jam as a team so we hope to get mechanics down next time :) We did have the concept of mini platforming to do some cat catching and saving but it seems we did not quite communicate that well enough and maybe should have made a bit of a tutorial :) I am glad you could enjoy the scenery though :) You can get refills of fish and rods during the day if you don't overwater the plant and don't kill the fish
Hehe that was exactly my intention, I am glad it came across as well and I am glad you enjoyed it! I am so glad you enjoyed it and thank you again for the long and thoughtful comment <3
In fact, I rated this game at the beginning. But for some reason I am writing a comment only now idk. The game turned out to have a very pleasant atmosphere! And this is facilitated by wonderful graphics. I loved this game :)
Haha I do the same sometimes, I save all my jam games in a collection, rate them and then forget to comment :) Thank you for coming back and saying such nice words, I am so glad you enjoyed the game :)
this was lovely. it took me a while to figure out the connection between the plant and the cattails, and the fishtank and the fish. the fact that the game just ends after three days is really nice, I like that it doesn’t overstay its welcome. great work.
edit: forgot to mention that the illustrations of course were really stunning and beautiful.
Thank you so much for playing and I am glad you liked it! :) Yea we should have made the connection between the plants and the stick more clear, alas time was against all of us, I am glad you figured it out and had fun
The artstyle was nice, though when turning around the head seems smaller than the front view! It was pretty cute, but I couldn't figure out how to tame the flying cats, I managed to use the fish on the big cats though.
Thank you for playing and I'm glad you like the art :) The small cats can be lured with the stick, sorry for not making it clear enough. I am glad you managed to save some cats
I was able to lure them but they vanished after the night. Did I have to give them fish as well?
