This was fun! Minor bugs aside (you've mentioned them yourself), the game is fun to play, and the platforming feels good overall. Great use of physics engine. The final 'boss battle' was totally unexpected and really made me smile.

fun game, as you said a bit buggy, but that's just a part of gamejams :p

A purrfectly accurate depiction of the adorable little entropy machines that cats are. I like the extra work you put into the web page banner and background and tutorial.

I played on the WebGL version because I'm on Linux right now. I do see those platform bugs you wrote about and I can't seem to move on to level 2. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, if you haven't already, could you please rate my team's game? I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks for playing and for the kind words! I'm glad you liked the tutorial sheet, it was a lot of fun to make (even if we somehow forgot to put it in the game itself xD )

Level-wise, there's only one - if you're struggling to leave the starting room, (the collision can be a bit sticky sometimes) then you just need to jump at the edge of the screen and that'll be enough to get you into the next room. 

(For reference , there's 3 rooms upstairs (bedroom, corridor & bathroom) and 2 rooms downstairs (lounge & kitchen.) You've then got to return to the bedroom and press W on the windowsill to 'win', but I readily admit that's not very clear in the game itself haha.

And sure, I'd be happy to - hopping over to play it now :)

Fun idea! I included it in my Palette Jam 2 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Overall a really good game! I really enjoyed playing it and the boss battle is a nice touch. I sat on the main menu vibing to the music for awhile since its a bop and fits really well into the game.

The controls feel a bit off especially if someones playing with keyboard only, just doesn't really feel great to have a hand stretch and only use z and space. Using wasd on top of that also adds another challenge of the hands being on top of each other.

I managed to find a softlock by jumping between the computer and the monitor in the spawn room although I doubt this would really come up in regular play.

Thanks for playing and for the kind feedback!

The music tracks are certified groovy (and free-to-use, so if you  wanted to use the main menu music yourself, you can grab it here)

Sorry about the control issues, too - mouse and arrow keys are also supported, but I admit that we got used to the weird control scheme that got set up for testing and forgot to make it more accessible in the final build  xD

You're not the first to get stuck between the PC & monitor either - jumping and hitting a few times usually solves it, but I'll address little softlocks like that in a post-jam version. Cheers!

Very fun game ! Great take on the theme. The catnip for boost is hillarious.

Not much to say. I had fun playing. Great work :)

Omg I wanted to play to this game since I saw a screenshot on discord. It was really so much fun and I really wasn't expecting that ending x) Well done !

That's definitely my cat, but I would never abandon him! XD
That is a really fun experience. The fact that you can break almost everything is great! I really laughed out loud when I get that I can break even the curtains!
great job guys!

Thanks for playing our game and for the kind words! Can I expect to see some pictures of your cat in the discord? :D
