  • I was not emotionally prepared for this one! High fives on doing such a good job of telling a story with minimal use of words. The clunky controls made for a trying platforming experience. I don't know if a platformer was an ideal choice as a genre to tell this story. I enjoyed the art, the use of the theme was very strong, and the sotry was surprisingly impactful. Well done!

It’s 2024: who doesn’t want to be a pampered housecat?! Utterly adorable - very cosy vibes and super concept. The mechanics of the hit box were a bit tricky initially. We can’t believe this was done solo!
The ending broke our hearts!! Played into theme really well.

Omg love being able to embrace chaos and knock things off, but would be cool if they broke. I had trouble interacting with the friend and got trapped on the left side of the couch unable to jump out again so I had to restart, so I might just shuffle things a bit to make it more easy to traverse that space. Managed to make it to the end though.

Congrats on your first jam and solo game :D

Love that you can knock stuff down and be very cat!

This was a very cute little game! I loved the art and cute concept. It was really fun to jump around and knock things over! The ending shocked me so much! I liked how you had everything happen in the house and be able to leave at the end.

Some of the prompts were a bit unclear, there were moments where I wondered if that was all there was to the game (jump around and knocks things over). I nearly didn't play with the friend at all. I also wasn't a big fan of some of the controls, I always tried pressing space to jump around.

Apart from that, it was a really cool! I had a lot of fun with this!

Well done! :)

This was a lovely little play. The aesthetic carries a lot and I was SOOO happy that I could knock things over and embrace my inner cat! 

Would be lovely if the items could break once they drop on the floor. Also I had trouble interacting with the friend in the room. 

Otherwise, awesome attempt! Would love to see more expanded on the cat-related activities we could do.

My favourite mechanic was the one that sends you into space and makes you a moon cat. 

On a real note, though.  I love the art, and I love the concept.  However, maybe I'm biased because I have a cat of my own lol

This game was very cute, I got pinged off the map and had to restart 10/10

The audio was very loud but I really enjoyed the story behind it even with the tragic ending. Consider adding more 'rooms' and possibly more friends. Really enjoyed the visuals though

Love the art style
Just wish there was different type of levels, not just the same house , maybe could have added a level where cat explore forest or a city or something different
but shoe that ending is sad 🥲

Sheesh.
Most emotional story of the jam.
I was also going to comment on how good the level design was, until I got stuck under the sofa and had to start again.
But overall it's actually a really good little jam piece, and I like the super simple way you tell the story. It's honestly really effective.
