Those dogs love cat yet my cat wants to shoot them. hahaha, beautiful game.

Great looking game with some fun intuitive controls, I think I would have preferred if I didn't fire out quite so many fish as often I found myself waiting for the canon to stop.

Amazing submission (rated 5 stars)! My only gripe is that falling into the water is a bit punishing sending you back to the start every time

Developer

I agree, thank you!

Submitted(+1)

I'm not sure if it's my machine but I'm having a lot of trouble controlling the cat (although the theme was "out of control", so... a_a)

That said, the art work is so cute, would love to see more!

Don't wanna shoot puppies though :(

Developer(+1)

Oh no! You don't have to shoot the puppies! You can also jump on them. But don't worry, they just play dead. They come back up once they can't contain their excitment any longer. Thank you for the feedback

Submitted(+1)

Really well done! The amount of polish on this is incredible. Personally I think the physics (esp jumping) could use some minor tweaks - specifically a grace period just before you land where you can still jump again. Right now I feel like I often miss jumps that it seems like I should have gotten because I push W a fraction of a second too soon and nothing happens onscreen. Overall, wonderful game!

Developer(+1)

I didn't think about adding "Coyotte time" but I definetly should have. Thank you thats good feedback!

Submitted

Of course! :) We'd love your feedback on our game as well - SpaceBus

Developer(+1)

Dont worry I was planning to do so, just no time today :)

Really nice game, and one of the few I played that feels genuinely complete the only thing I can see making this better for me is more levels :D a super good job and a easy 5 stars 

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the game. I am not so sure about the wind mechanic though. I would also reconsider to shorten the shooting phase, as it can slow down gameplay when you accidentally press yourself against a wall for example. It also happens that I activate it, when I really didn't intend to, because I am so hardwired for the spacebar jump. But with little tweaks I can see this game being really good.

Submitted(+1)

Wow! What a solid game.

One of the only games in this jam that I've rated full 5 stars!

This game even has some speedrun potential! You can play the game in a safe way (without shooting), or in a very risky and fun way (always shooting backwards). 

The animals are very cute :з and generally the game looks very clean. 

The cat is a loaf. What a CHONKER! 

Very good game! I wish you good luck in your future projects!

It would help a lot if you would rate my game as well! Thank you \(^-^)/

It is highly adorable and has an interesting moving style, only little problem i found is the cannon, i'd recommend activate and deactivate from space bar at will instead of a duration based ability, it would give more control to jumping backwards as well, which in turn combined with a good map design can add to the fun,  other than that i wana see this game on google play...

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and leaving your thoughts! We figured duration would fit the theme "Out of control" but we'll take that into consideration if we ever revamp this!

Understandable :)

Submitted(+1)

Oh my goodness, so cute and fun. My only complaint is that you shoot just a little bit too long after pressing the spacebar, which turns it into a several second waiting game after you've pressed yourself up against a back wall

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Kitty~♥
I love how there's different screens for the different types of losses ^^
Lovely game!

Developer(+1)

Kitty kitty! Thank you so much for noticing and playing the game! I had lots of fun playing yours too 🥰

Submitted(+1)

Glad you did ^^

Submitted(+2)

The visuals are great. Sound effects are also awesome. You've nailed the theme of loss of control, especially with the fish cannon. I found myself getting stuck a lot because the wind pushed me into a deep hole that I couldn't easily get out of. If I were to suggest a revision of this masterpiece, it would be to have the wind come in gusts to allow for those who are not the most nimble with platforming or precise timing to still enjoy the game.

Developer

Your feedback is helpful and highly appreciated! The suggestion with gusts of wind, instead of constant wind is really interesting! Thank you a lot for taking your time to play our game and giving us your thoughts on it!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! I also made a cat game!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Kitties ftw

Submitted(+2)

I tried to find defects, but I couldn't! The game is very good, congratulations!

Perfect fit in the theme, besides having a very solid identity. Great visual and sound effects too. Please continue the development! Very cool!

Developer

Thank you! It means a lot to hear that, cheers!

Submitted(+2)

The splash arts are beautiful and the little grumpy cart is adorable ! 

The controls were a bit hard to master at first, I wanted to jump with the spacebar. I really love the fact that you can use the gun to cross obstacles. 

Very nice game !

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the art and the game. The long jumps are always the most satisfying!

Submitted(+2)

Adorable, lots of fun, and a great twist on "shoot to move"–making the level push you forward while having the ability to push backwards with a gun blast was great! The control swap between space and w took a little getting used to, but once I did the game and cute graphics swept me away! Great job. 

Developer(+1)

Yeahh, we only realised that after people started playing xD 

Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts! We're glad you enjoyed the game and the art

Submitted(+1)

Amazing!! Killer cat is on the loose haha. 
Beautiful art, great mechanics. Would never be upset to lose a life for over affectionate dogs.
Enjoyed it very much. Great job.

I would appreciate it if you'll have time to check out my game.

Developer

Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts. We had a blast creating the game and making sure that it was delightful for players to play. Means a lot to hear that!

Super fun, Loved the pacing of the game!

Developer

Thanks for playing, Moony will be happy to hear that!

Submitted(+2)

Adorable, and very fun! Being able to shoot both ways is a really smart idea.

Developer

Battle the wind with the power of fish 🐟

Thanks so much for playing!
