Lovely concept, would love to be able to differentiate myself from the other clone though !

I really love the concept and the twist in the game. It was fun trying to figure out solutions to the puzzles. The switch and slippery mechanics were a great addition and were understandable for me. Would love to see more level past the 8th. Wonderful job on this game! :)

Cool concept but definitely has some rough edges. There's an issue with screen size in the browser version, and there no sounds, which makes playing feel weird. As for the mechanics itself, I would tutorialize the "ice" tiles a little more, as I'm still not sure I understand them ^^'.  Anyway, still good job for a game jam!

The classical death ghost loop mechanic! It was implemented pretty well, though it does get slightly confusing overtime as all the cats look identical so at some point you have no clue where your real cat is :D

Interesting take on the looping clones idea. Immediately got a bug with resolution on browser. On fullscreen the scaling seems to be messed up. On windowed half of the stuff is cut off. I'm not sure if it's just me though. Gameplay-wise, I thought the puzzles were engaging. The puzzles make good use of all the mechanics, which is great! The art style is cute, but leaves much to be desired. However, that's entirely understandable for a 4-day game. Good work on the game!

Interesting concept for a puzzle game, I like how the ghost and real cat interacts differently with some of the tiles, like the blue tile and purple portals, make us have to think aheadand think how the ghost cat will move. I did face an issue with a ghost cat randomly spawning and not moving in Level 4 which makes it that level unable to be completed, as if something went wrong with the saving.

Great concept! The puzzles are well designed and have a good difficulty progression. It's a little hard to keep the paths of each ghost in your head so it might be nice to show a line that they'll follow or something, but that's just QOL. Very nice

I really like this take on the theme. I've seena lot of submissions where you replay the same level, but I think this is the most creative one i've seen. Nice job on the puzzles, they were very satisfying to solve. Great work :D

Great puzzle game! The scaling in fullscreen isn’t quite right, but it doesn’t get in the way of the gameplay.

Good job on the jam! Didnt notice the wait button at first so I was very confused in the second puzzle xd. Some more audio would have been nice.

I have seen several games with same player looping concept, but this one is the first puzzle, and it's really well executed! Bonus points for cats :з

Fun puzzle design!!! Gave me some good 'aha' moments, which I think is always what you want, and it was a very nice difficulty for me as someone who plays puzzle games a lot. I think it would be if there was a way to go back to the level select screen once you're actually in a level, and also the audio gets a bit repetitive, but other than that I really liked this (:!

I liked this game!  It took me a moment to figure out how the ice tiles work, but once I did, solving the puzzles felt satisfying.  My biggest complaint has to be the lack of audio, but reading the other's comments it sounds like there was?  So either the audio too quiet for me to hear, even with headphones on or something bugged causing it to be mute.  Either way, it was fun!

Really cool puzzle game

Last level was hard but enjoyable to figure out. I'm also a sucker for cats.

Another instance of playing the same level BUT with a cool spin which I appreciate. 

Some things needs better explanations in terms of gameplay elements / tiles,  also memorizing and abstracting the tile layout and player movement is a bit of an ordeal and not that fun at the end of the day.

Maybe the puzzles are a bit hard, I got stuck almost immediately but then again maybe I am too tired / not a puzzle person / dumb.

Cute graphics but the lack of responsiveness from the UI is a bit of a shame.

Nice music and neat sfx, but nothing too special neither.

Overall very interesting game, challenging puzzle, but leaves to be desired in some aspects.

Good work.

Really fun game and very similar in theme to the game my team submitted. I really enjoyed your take on the concept!

Couldn't get my head around the water (?) mechanic, I'm afraid :-(

I liked your use of the theme! simple and yet effective, it was very enjoyable, but maybe a bit hard lol

Great little puzzle game with a unique mechanic, but it started to melt my brain at lvl 5... could be the lack of sleep
