Sorry if my feedback sounded rather harsh. I like your game, and I would not describe the camera and movement as underwhelming. I struggle with more time/input sensitive platforming, and I am not proud of how often I accidentally made the cat run into hazards.
Nice job! I enjoyed the game overall, though the camera and controls sometimes felt like more of a challenge than the level's obstacles. The frequency of checkpoints definitely helped, but I still found myself redoing some sections of the game repeatedly due to mechanical/controls issues more than player intent.
Nice game! Simple and straightforward to jump into! On a technical note, I had encountered some issues where the game's viewport was resistant to resizing on my monitors, which made it difficult to appreciate the details on the pixel art. I think it might just require a quick change to the project's stretch settings.
