Loved the senses mechanic and unlocking memories. The art and sound design are really good too ^^ I got the decent ending, which is satisfying. 

Developer

Thanks so much for trying it out and saving some lil' kitties!  Glad you enjoyed the senses and memories mechanics. :D

this was super cute! the art was amazing and the gameplay mechanic was interesting even if it perhaps needed a bit more polish.

Thank so much for the feedback! Yeah, we've been finding all sorts of issues since launch that we want to fix. We've also realized few overall design choices that were too much and where we need to do better information to help players. Everyone's feedback has been great to have, thank you for also sharing yours too and for playing our game.

I really liked a lot of the gameplay elements and the art is super cute! As others have said it was sometimes a bit difficult to progress but I got the kitties safe in the end :3

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! Oh yay! So glad you got one of the endings where you save the kitties!  We definitely want to do better puzzle planning and hints if we build the concept out further to improve those overly weird,  tough spots you guys are hitting. haha Fun side note-- there are actually 2 different possible "save the kitties" final endings: a decent one, and then an extra good one  :0 We were going to put Ending Ranks so people could know which ones they got, but it didn't make it in in time 🥲

loved the art style! The gameplay was very immersive. Took me a bit of thinking to figure out how to advance in certain areas. Got stuck for a little bit at the end trying to figure out how to get to the kittens. Playing as a cat is always a win too!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing it and giving feedback for us! We totally agree some of the puzzles were a bit weirder or tougher in some spots. We'll definitely be planning to improve our puzzles and hints if we continue it. Thanks for pushing through some of those weird obstacles to give it a shot and give feedback about the difficulty-- we really appreciate it! :]

I liked the artwork, the concept and the general vibe of the game. It would have been nice to see more content in it though.

Thanks so much for trying the game! Yeah we realized we probably bottle-necked things a little hard and maybe didn't give enough good hints with the first puzzle. But if you want to see more just use your first instinct on all the options and then look to move. ;)

Cute! Progressing past the first scene was a little obscure, but once I got into it I was impressed with the technical implementation.

Thank you! Yeah, in hindsight we realized that first trigger was a little too strict but it was uploaded at that point, so we kept it as is. We appreciate your feedback, thanks for playing!
