I forgot to leave a review for this one! It was very fun, seeing the little paws on the screen was great. I eventually got stuck under a bunch of falling barrels and could not escape! I also didn’t know what the purpose of the bazooka was
I think you absolutely nailed the environment, the psx graphics, the lighting, the mood, I may or may not have struggled a little since I felt like I was in a horror environment.
Boss fight was umm "dishing" some serious pain, can't wait to see how it gets more fleshed out when there's more work done on the game.
Good work!
Thank you thank you glad you liked our boss fight lol
A KITTY WITH A GUN???/ ME WANT. i had a good time going around and finding new places sick game design, also the madra i will get him one day. love the sound effects creeped me at times . lovely game
THANKS SO MUCH appreciate it :)
This game is sick! As a big fan of the game Stray this made me very happy! The environment is really good and very well textured! Wasn't expecting the dialogue but it's certainly welcome, and the "boss fight" made me chuckle! The movement was pretty fun too and as the level design was well thought out it made going through an enjoyable experience! Really awesome game, excellent work!
The environments in this game are so incredible! Really powerful lighting and sound design, very oppressive vibe making me feel all sorts of things. And who doesn't love a dedicated meow button :)
Ey it's the deer game I watched from duck's stream, gald you enjoyed the game and it's environments, we have a teammate who loves doing level design, I suggested the meow button lol :)
I was actually double checking something in the stream VOD when I saw a moment from this game and knew I had to pause and try it out immediately based on its vibes LOL, great work!
This game is an absolute blast! The overall aesthetic and level design are fantastic, giving off nostalgic PSX vibes while still feeling fresh and unique. We especially loved the parkour-style navigation, sneaking through vents, and the clever use of cat mechanics! Cats with nine lives as the embodiment of the theme was such a creative touch. The boss fight was intense and memorable, and the cat sounds are honestly adorable.
The visuals and 3D models are charming, the low-poly style works wonderfully, and the art direction really elevates the experience. The story and worldbuilding are engaging, and the levels flow smoothly, making exploration enjoyable. There’s a lot of personality and love in the design here, and it shows!! This easily stands out among jam entries.
Some minor issues though:
a few the camera occasionally behaves oddly during certain interactions (like padlocks). These are small bugs that we hope can be addressed in a post-jam patch. A bit more music and varied combat mechanics, like enemy projectiles or movement options, could also enhance the experience. (Wont mention softlocks cause you already know the issue, so we won't bug you with stuff you know already aha)
Overall, this is an incredible achievement for a five-day jam!! The mechanics, level design, visuals, and polish are impressive, and the team clearly poured a lot of love into it. We’d be thrilled to see a full version in the future, with additional polish, combat depth, and more kitty chaos! Amazing work!
Thank you very much, our team poured their souls and sacrificed their sleep to finish this game jam. Appreciate all the useful feedback you gave us and we hope to get a full release game in the near future hopefully :)
i like this a lot!! i especially love the over all aesthetic and design of it all :) i dont quite understand how to use the launcher (i though it was a bazooka), but it was fun to have!! i loved the parkour-ish type navigating we had to do to go from place to place.
Thanks alot , we were hoping to do more with the catcannon but didn't have the time to add to it unfortunately, maybe in the near future. Gald you enjoyed the game :)
Fun game! I loved crawling through the vents and trying to be sneaky! The art style was great!
Hope you get a chance to try my game too!

thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Cute game and I like the 3D models, only wish there was some music.
There is some softlock possible if you fall in the wrong spot, where you can die over and over (which happened to me ;-;)
Sorry About the softlock we gonna fix it in the future. Glad you liked the game. I was the ones who made the models :)
My pc is flagging this as a virus and won't download I'm so sorry :( but from what I can see it looks like a really fun game!
Rip really sorry you cant play i've had a few issues with the virus also
Love the concept, really fun game! And that boss fight was intense haha, good job!
Haha thank you very much. going to play your game soon
Really fun story, I liked the worldbuilding. Was a bit hard to aim, but the controls felt good.
Appreciate it very much, its our first game. we hope to get those fixes in the near future.
Really liked the visual style and I thought the story was really fun! Only thing was getting softlocked in the room with the red barrels and my mouse was still visible while playing which was a bit annoying. The doombas also didn't seem to chase me and the cannon didn't seem to do much. Still, for such a short amount of time this was really good, and with a little extra polish, this is gonna be amazing!
thanks for the feedback, we will definitely be updating with the necessary fixes in the future :).
Played 3 other cat games, ngl this one is on top!! Check out the live feedback we left you on your comment here:
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/topic/5402388/we-are-having-a-blast-playing-eve...
Also feel free to check out our game, we think your feedback would be valuable (no pressure whatsoever)
Thanks il definitely check out your game :)
It's a very charming and interesting game! I love the ultrakill artstyle and vibe!
If you were to make a updated version, I'd love to see more combat mechanics, like enemy projectiles, or movement options
I also found myself getting softlocked a couple of times
But overall this game is very enjoyable and artistically impressive!
Hope to see more from you guys!
Thank you, very glad to hear!! We’ll hopefully have a version with improved systems in the near future:)
This is easily one of the best jam games I’ve played
Thank you very much. Out team sacrificed many hours of sleep for this. We very much appreciate your comment :)
I chose the 3rd option, hah! That was a pretty epic boss fight! Also the kitty noises were so adorable... man I'm such a sucker for anything with cats in it! You really nailed the PSX style too, rather impressive amount of content for 5 days!
Also, not sure if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but if gamers see red barrels there is unfortunately an existing expectation that shooting them will cause an explosion. It's not an issue, just some amusing feedback.
Haha thanks for playing and giving feedback, glad you enjoyed it
I loved the game, the visuals are really nostalgic, psx graphics style rocks! You made a really great job with the level design too. I played until this place and couldn't figure what I had to do. But even though I couldn't beat it, it's a really solid game, congrats for that!
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you liked the art style and level design especially, we had fun creating it!! Yeah we were down to the wire so this section ends up soft locking you if you go onto the floor haha, we’ll have a fix out after the jam:)
Yeah sorry there was an missing box collider you could not get up, you either had to restart and go the the left side where the barrels fall, Thank you for checking out the game :)
Ah I see, so That's The right way, thanks for clarifying
Honestly loved the concept and it played pretty smoothly!
Great to hear, thank you!
Thanks You :)
Cool movement, smart level design, also gameplay is very very smooth. And the idea and the depth of the game really say you something important. Poor cats :cry:
Thanks Murk3! I’m glad the level design came across well and that you liked the overall concept & lore!
Thanks For playing , hope we make can a sequal to free the cats :)
