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!
