Thanks for this and the honesty!
Though I think it’s original, has a nice narrative and is fun actually. I’ve played tons of 3D platformers on Itch and elsewhere and I think as a short game, it stands up well.
I will like to give it a go but may wait for a sale. I’ll be keeping an eye on the page!

Hi - I played the demo and I like it. Nice movement and I like the style and charm of the game.
A few questions, I am tempted to give the full game a try:
- It takes about 3-5 mins to get the first chip in the Mayor level. You specify about a 20-30 min length - are the other levels a bit fuller or have multiple chips or all levels just have one chip?
- In the Mr Mayor level, there is a whole section of land/mushrooms that I cannot reach. I've tried everything but my standard jump and reverse jump cannot reach it off of any ledge. Am I missing something/missing an ability/doing something wrong?
Thanks!!
This game is amazing. Love the movement - it feels really good, the character weight, the landing shadow etc - really nice stuff. I love the charm of the game from the 'Penguns' to the sleepy NPC - it feels really full of personality.
I'm hoping for a few things:
- The full game features more NPCs, more lore, easter eggs and hidden collectibles etc.
- The other levels have some more challenging segments of platforming.
- The worlds feel fuller and more dense.
- And most of all: THAT THE DEV MAKES A BIG BIG GAME - LIKE 5-10 HOURS OF THIS LOVELY STUFF!
You are super talented and it's become one of my fav 3D platformers on Itch in recent time; I've played a BUNCH!
Thank you! :)
Game is great. Like where it's heading. Love the Rare feel and humour. It's familiar but unique enough to stand on it's own in a crowded genre. I really like the bazooka and crate smashing. Some helpful feedback as I play WAY too many 3D platformers:
- Character weight is too floaty and slippery. I think the game feel would be a lot better if the character was heavier and more grounded. It's very slippery when landing and trying to do precise platforming. Particularly noticeable on the leaf to leaf section.
- Harder platforming sections - appreciate it's just the BETA level but was dying for more hardcore sections/verticality.
- Some areas/sections can be skipped entirely by button mashing and wall jumping. Paint Gal sort of bugs out with high speed.
- Don't NeEd ThE cOnStAnT tExT each time you collect a diamond. I think it could get annoying?
When are you targeting a full release?
Catography is a brilliant and charming 3D platformer. It knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers on it Purrrrfectly.
The world is colourful and vibrant. The characters are cute and named after foods like Waffle and Panini. The island is relaxing and varied in environments and to top it all off - the moveset whilst simple, is really really solid. Quick turning on the spot to change direction and a brilliant weight to the character.
I was really enjoying combining the roll and jump to get a little boost forward jump. It’s satisfying to move any great 3D platformer should be.
It’s just a wonderful game. Please expand on it or build out the world! Would love to see a whole Catography universe in a game!
Brilliant work devs!!!
