Really interesting. Feels like a cross between stealth and point and click adventure. I found the art really charming. Nice job!

Adorable story.  I am bad at platforming so I probably missed something obvious, but like another commenter couldn't get past the sofa even after messing with the television.  I loved the art and animation of the characters.  I think it might have "felt" better if there were some "safe" way to figure out "you can't jump from this height while carrying the bird" though this is completely great for the jam scope ^_^
Thanks for the experience!  Cheers.

Cool game, very unique.  I like the little touches you add - like the bird falling, or the books tumbling around.  Nice!

I couldn't get past the sofa but it might be my clumsiness.  As mark would say, 'It is a game'. Loved the storytelling behind it without the use of word, and found quite funny the kitty litter mechanic. Good job!

Being a cat I would liked more destroying things around the house, but it was still fun to play. Nice job ^^

Very creative and a soothing background music, that fits very well. The art is also super cute. Well done!

I really liked playing as a cat causing mayhem on the house! You didn't need to add physics to books, but you did it and I loved the detail! The only bad part was how unintuitive things were sometimes, you never know when going into a new screen what kills you and what doesn't, how close you can get to the humans, what happens when you interact with stuff, how long things take... There was a lot of trial and error, and that part on the kitchen was super difficult. Still, a very complex game with a lot of moving parts for a game done in 48 hours. Good job!

This is very cool, I really like that.

This was surprisingly challenging and had a lot of moving parts! Maybe a little bit too challenging sometimes. I loved the artstyle - it was beautiful and adorable. The whole game was! And the intro was really well made with awesome camera.

Cute game! I liked the interactable environment. I laughed out loud when the cat used the litter box, haha. Reminded me of old point and click game logic but mixed with a platformer. Also the intro cutscene was well done and I liked how expressive it was without words. Good job!

Really adorable! maybe the presentation is not that good. But still, good job!

Very unique game, I enjoyed it a lot. Couple parts got me stuck, but the adorable cat having to do 'cat' things to succeed kept me playing to the end. Took me a while to realize the back of the chair was a platform, and the curtains took me some time to figure out what they were. Overall really liked it and it had some excellent scenarios! The art and music were perfect for the theme. I'd play more levels for sure. Good work!

This is one of the best I've played so far--saved so I can finish it later.

Relaxing and cute puzzle game. Adorable cat.

The intro is so amazing and i felt attached. Music was soo good. The connection between the cat and the birdie is so cute. And it was really fun making mess as a cat. I loved it. Although i was not able to pass after 2nd level, but I'm trying. I love it already.

Fun and cute. I wasn’t expecting an intro cutscene, it was nice!

Submitted(+2)

Me too ... I thought it was gameplay. It was really nice. And i love your game by the way. 

Submitted(+1)

hahahahahaha that's WHY cats make so much mess ! That was really funny ^^ !

I loved the fact that you had a story with an intro cutscene. In a 48h jam, that's insane ! The concept itself is quite nice, the story is touching and the little puzzles are very nice. Really good job !

Great concept, had a lot of fun playing! Well done!
