On my first try, I managed to get stuck on a pillar, haha.
The art and sound are both veeeery well done. It's impressive how you composed and produced that soundtrack in a jam's time and made it adaptive to the cat's state.
Though a platformer lends itself very well for it, I like that you included a tutorial; something that's quite often forgotten in a game jam (guilty as charged!), due to the short amount of time.
The section with the lava could've used some extra dynamics in the camera; right now it's a bit of a guess where you have to jump to and that could be frustrating for the player.
As a last point of feedback: I didn't feel the need to change to the buffy cat as much. I ran through the game as the small cat, only changing to the buffy cat when I needed to smash through the gates.
All in all, a great piece of work for such a limited amount of time.
For me, it was a bit unclear as to what to do at first, but after reading your game page I managed to 'win' the game by inserting a coin I didn't have to look for in the first place.
The movement feels a bit clunky and the soundtrack (which I like!) suggests an eerier and more mysterious atmosphere; I can't see that back in the overall tone of the scene. I do think the level design is quite well done, though, but I can see you've been struck by the Game Jam gods, time-wise.
Can you tell me anything about the concept? What's your end game?
Thanks! I think I speak for my entire team if I say that you're absolutely right. If I'm not mistaken, it's even the case that you can keep watering or planting a flower while you still walk. Should we limit movement or would that be too much? (We're not adding any updates until the rating is over)
Thank you for your kind words, Yvens! The soundtrack is indeed fully self-written and produced! And did you also notice that full-grown plants have a bigger light radius than the premature ones?
