Very creative from start to finish! Beautiful cat animation. I would never have thought of using the Gameboy Camera myself, but thanks to you, I've gotten some ideas for future projects!

Thanks a lot, I've used the Game Boy Camera in almost all my Game Boy projects, the accessory can be hard to tame, but the rendering is really nice :D

Fun idea! Love to see more cats and GB Camera :D

Developer

I'm surprised that on an animation jam I'm the only one to have put game boy camera photos, if I'd had more time I'd have tried an animation with them maybe :) Thanks ;)

Great animation! I love the cat! Also really cute credits at the end :)

Thanks, I think I'm the only one to have put Game Boy Camera in the projects, too bad it would have been great for animation, but I haven't had the time :p

Great cat animation and sounds! Like the fact you used the GB camera too.

Originally I was going to use the game boy camera for the animation, but that would have taken too much time out of an already busy week for me 😢 Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

The run cycle on the cat is awesome!! And I like how it transitions almost effortless from day to night. I didn't even notice it on the first go of watching it! It really is quite therapeutic to watch, I think you got the speed of the cat just right. I watched it on a loop a couple of times, so it isn't just the meow who's meditating, it's me too.= :P

Developer

Haha I didn't mean to create a new form of hypnosis 😵‍💫 . Thanks for your feedback on the game, the tile swapping between the background and the bubble was a bit of a challenge as I tried to use as few actors as possible! I'll be talking about this game and the others in the Jam (including yours, which I haven't had time to test yet) on my twitch channel tonight and next week ;)

Such a great animation! The cat run cycle is so good!

Thank you, I've learnt Robert Doman's method again and it works pretty well, I must say :p
