That’s a nice interpretation of the theme. The game is cute and fun to play! It’s challenging to control the cat, but that’s what makes it interesting. Congrats on the submission!

But in all seriousness - amazing and interesting idea! It was hard :)

I love the concept!

I had difficulties guiding the cat, but still, the concept is great! :)

hahaha this game is so fun and chaotic! Excellent use of the light theme! The animation for the cat is crack head energy and I love it!

I loved! the idea is cute, pretty hard sometimes tho, that cat is crazy.
Remembers me from my own cat, Pietra. 


How many cats do you need to catch a bug ?
I don't know, mine plays around with them and then they scape.

I won't lie, giving the cat the name Cinnamon made it go from an 8 to a 10

Playing through the game doing a wizard voice going "Cinnamon, cooperate with me here, please, Cinna-CINNAMON, we both want to go home, just, work with me Cinnamon" is truly a wonderful experience

Played through it all, loved it, very nice (great attention to detail having Cinnamon's eyes track the laser!)

Fantastic game! The cat physics are hilarious, and you used the limitation in a fun and interesting way. The goal being to guide the cat puts a fun twist on the platforming.

Really fun, and the cat is hilarious because it's accurate!

Fun game, I liked the fact that the cats tail spins separately from the cat, makes it look all the more fun. I got stuck at one point for a few minutes so I couldn't finish it. Good game nonetheless

Good game, but I couldn't finish it. How am i supposed to beat the spiral like level?

I have looked it over and at some point the tilemap for that level completely broke, all of the levels should be finishable. Thanks for the heads up!

I generally loved this! Such a cool concept

I have to say, your interpretation of the theme is absolutely BRILLIANT. It's also pretty funny to see how insane the cat will go over that light sometimes.

had fun but my cat stopped bouncing in the first crowded level, the collision bugged and cinnamon got stuck!! :(

Great concept, and even better art direction. It's a bit held back by the fact that it's in HTML, but the levels are still doable. A simple tutorial level would do the first bit of the game wonders, and I'd like to know a bit more about the specifics of the cat's behavior. Well done!
