The visuals are excellent and incredibly polished. The character controller feels a bit floaty and I had trouble recovering from the wall hike - it felt like I was launched very far from the wall. Overall, though, a great experience.

And the cat is cute!

This game made me feel like a ninja cat. The game plays really fast and fun at the same time good job!

I love it!
Especially the power ups!!

Really awesome game! loved the projection mechanic and was so happy when parrying was introduced! =D

I normally don't like platformers, but the wall jump actually felt very intuitive and the combat was fun!

Nice work doing this solo, the music and sound worked really well, the art was readable, and I liked the 'prep' animation the enemies had allowing you do dodge their attacks!

I still got stuck at the 3rd checkpoint but if I could cheat to make the platforming easier I would definitely like to play this one through!

Very nice graphics! Some of the jumps were pretty hard (or maybe I'm just bad at wall jumping lol) but overall the game was fun. One small comment I have is that I wish the music was a bit more ambient (?) to match the forest vibe of the art, but that's just a nitpick! Lovely game!!

Cool game and quite polished. The combat was fun and quite juicy. I did feel like the controls were a bit floaty. The jump speed was much slower than the run speed.

Really great game, I LOVE the movemement, the graphics are amazing, the sound design is pretty good too, but after i cleared a certain area it seemed to suddenly end? I don't know if that wasn't the correct path, but i couldn't find any way to progress.

I must admit that i did end up having to cancel the last couple of areas i had planned for time/deadline reasons. Without them, getting to the final room requires a fair bit of back tracking, which the game hasn't really asked of the player up until that point.

Also the last pick up is meant to open a new browser tab and navigate to a cat video on YouTube. I hadn't considered until now that people may have blocked that in their browser settings. I would have liked to have made a better ending, but again, deadline : (

Wow, one of my favorite platformers so far from the Jam!! Great great work.

This game is absolutely amazing. The parkour-style platforming gameplay is spot-on, and the combat really adds the layer to the cake. It's like if Celeste was made in just a week. 5/5 stars. 😁😁👌
