Very cute doodles for a very interesting concept! I would absolutely play more of this over a longer experience if this get expended at some point.

Only slight criticism is that you can't really know what to do before getting the hint, which can leave you with a few moments with nothing to do while waiting for the hint to pop, but at least this give the opportunity to appreciate the scenery :)

Perhaps adding something to display a list of tasks would help you do things without waiting for hints? Like in untitled goose game, for example. 

Thanks for the feedback!

This is the one that interested me the most. However, there are some things that could be improved.

First, I got stuck in the "feed the cat" part because I wasn't sure if some items were simply not the answer or if I didn't align the hitbox properly.

Additionally, since some missions require clicking the "?" icon to solve them anyway, I think it would be better to add notes in the sea rather than waiting ~5 seconds for each task.

On a positive note, I love it when a game allows controlling the character in the credit scene.

I should make it more obvious that the quests can be done in any order at any time (they're technically more like achievements). The question mark is just meant to be a hint or suggestion on what to do, it's not required to be there before you can complete a task. That's why there's such a long delay between hints :/

Also the cat is a picky eater, perhaps I will add some more things it likes to eat >^o.O^<

edit: thanks for the feedback! I think having alternative ways of displaying tasks is a great idea.

Very cute doodles, I also got stuck when the help icon tells to touch a star

Right click and make sure your guy actually touches the star. 

Speaking of touching stars, that was literally the game I made before this one! https://kittyking101.itch.io/touch-the-stars

Been seeing the development of the game and i’m absolute in love with the minial and doodly aesthetic! Really want to finish the game, however i’m stucked on the ‘Touch the star part’, i’ve been trying to click it and move toward it but nothing seem to happened?

Developer(+1)

You can right click to touch things! 

There's a few more interactions too, so take your time! Also, you technically don't have to do all the quests to finish (only the last one)

OH I SEE. This is why is should’ve use a mouse to play instead of my crusty trackpad 😭😭

Developer(+1)

LOL, I guess that would make it easier to finish :P

So I finally done the last quest and done with the game! The choice of no bgm and only se really adds to the strangeness and minimalist of a place that is essentially a white void. Mentioned this before but i really adored all of the doodles! Especially the more abstract and creepy ones (also imagine my surprised seeing one when wandering the white space lol).

Anyway, this is a simple game but i love it! Great work!
