Really nice main mechanic but I really struggle with the "positive" and "negatif" sides. It is quite satisfying too, well done !

Really fun graphics and sound design is great! The controls were a little hard to get used to at times but the reference was nice. Great game!

I love the game, Being a cat makes the game so much more fun because how cute the player image is. 😍😍

The creativity both in both your concept and level design is off the charts! I found every puzzle solution very satisfying to find! Adding a visual that shows which "direction" a and d is was a nice touch, I found myself having to refer to them a lot. 5/5

This was such an amazing game! I agree that an undo button would be very helpful, and maybe dying could just undo one step, instead of resseting the whole level.

That seals it, this right here is my favourite game of the jam. The game is just absolutely clean in every way and i love all the sound effects the cat makes. The visuals as well are so simple yet so captivating, its definitely all the little effects of moving around and all, I'd say the only thing that was kinda annoying about the game was the controls, definitely an amazing control scheme but still it gets disorientation fast lmao especially with which direction is A and D. But besides that this game was perfect in every way, absolutely a whole ton of fun and an absolute blast to play and look at! This aint sugarcoating, genuinely my fav of the jam thus far

Love it! Yeah certainly needs an undo button but honestly it’s very solid all round!

Ingenious puzzle design that fits the theme perfectly. Very well done. I do wish it had an undo button.

Really polished game, loved it. Had some mis inputs around. But figured out later. Moved by the minimalist art style. Recommended, great job :). Also would appreciate an effort if you could check out our game.

Absolutely brilliant game! Controls where a bit confusing but that's probably because I'm dumb. 10/10!

What a creative puzzle. I like that you can swap or move the boxes through the platforms, that was a creative twist that made the puzzles deeper. The controls definitely could use some improvement, cause it's a bit disorienting at the moment with the clockwise counter-clockwise shifting movements. I'm always afraid I'm gonna click the wrong button and fail the puzzle lol. But it was fun nonetheless, I had some satisfying "aha" moments here. Well done!

The game is really polished! As a couple of other people mentioned, the rules for how shifting works is a little hard to fully wrap your head around, which led to me dying a couple of times due to a misinput. Alternatively I imagine an undo button would likely alleviate the problem. That being said, I am really impressed at how clever some of the puzzles were. great game!

A really cool concept with nice puzzles. My only real complaint is that the movement felt weird, especially because it seemed kind of inconsistent. Basically, the A/D inputs were in relation to the rotation of the cat, but the W/S inputs weren't. So I often ended up either pressing D to go to the right, but because I was upside down I ended up going left (in terms of screen) while then I press W and I end up going up on the screen instead of having the cat go up from relation to where it's facing (so if it was on the left edge on the block, W ended up still going right while I'd expect it to go left because that's where the cat's 'up' is) Only other much more minor complaint is that the pixel size is inconsistent, but it's not nearly as important. You definitely could continue working on this, since it's a very nice idea and would be really fun with different controls!
