Solid game, art is nice, music is fun, story is good. As a suggestion, it would be nice if the story could be skipped so you don't have to see it every time you try again.

My only complaint is that I felt like the spikes added nothing to the game, they were just annoying to avoid.

Overal a good job!

Great game! Love the colors used! I think it sets a nice playful vibe. The level design and sound is done well and I appreciate the volume controls.

The writing is great and I really enjoyed reading the dialogues! I did wished that maybe when Mousepapa talked, the dialogue box has a different background color or something just to make it explicit that its not the narrator who is talking.

Overall, really well made and put together! :D

Very nice game. Great graphics, good gameplay and a very nice story. A level select would be great if you die in a level to skip the known story. All in all well done!

level select is a really good idea thanks!

You've made a great game! I liked everything! Nice sound, graphics and story! The story is just wonderful and sweet! I really liked the game! I got a little bug. There was not one cat around me, but I died and the level started all over again. Nice project! Good luck with making games!

there are traps around the levels they are white spikes, could it have been that?

Nice game! I really like the music!!! One thing that is missing for me is that the mouse doesn't have a move animation, the smoke particle is great though!

Nice! I love the writing, the graphics, and the music!

I think the cats are a little tough to evade, either adjusting their speed or making the vision circle slightly larger might help with that.

Overall, very impressive! Great work, I've subscribed for more.

Cheers!

Really cool entry, its always cool to see plot or story during a jam, so awesome work! The speed of the cats defiantly made me play super cautiously, it was actually a pretty fun way to play, there was alot of tension through out. Great work!

A nice story :)

I would love it though if you could skip some of the cutscenes every time you have to retry!

this is great! i liked the storytelling, and the levels play nicely. just wish i could skip the dialogue, after a game-over it’d be nice to just hop back in without waiting through stuff i’ve already read y’know?

A challenging maze game! Also like the story-telling part. Good job!

Absolutely love this game and its art style! The music is wonderful with the cat choir interjecting here and there, and the story was adorable and immersive. I liked the levels, but they were definitely on the harder side, and when the penalty for 3 deaths is going back to the beginning and redoing the opening dialogue, I feel like it's a bit too difficult. In any case, this is a really nice game and I enjoy it a lot!

TheZoeAGDeveloper2 years ago

thanks I feel like we could work on making the levels a bit more balanced for sure with things like trap placement!

Really liked the way the story was done and the 8x8 pixel art was really well done too! Very challenging and fun -awesome work!! :D

It's going to sound really weird but I REALLY liked your menu and UI. The art was insanely well made as well. I like the dialogue but I didn't really enjoy the maze sections as much, especially how "slidy" the player character was. Once it got to 3 cheeses I ended up stopping.

I love a good pun, and the narrative is shamelessly charming. The music and sound effects are perfectly fitting, and other than a little animation for the cats and mice, I wouldn't change a thing.

Well done, and good luck! :D
