Thank you this works great!

Thank you! I’m glad you like the style. There are bugs that I’ve been trying to address but I’m also stuck in an endless cycle of working on the same stage and haven’t added more yet but I will. What happened when you went too far? Did you get stuck off screen or did it just not do anything else? The next update has a jumping attack but now I feel bad for the cats

Thank you I appreciate the fair, thorough critique. I'll get to work on addressing these points asap

I appreciate your thoughtful review. I’ll make sure to address these items in the next update. Thank you!

Hi I appreciate the feedback! I agree it needs some work to get it to that metroidvania status. I'll implement your suggestions over the next few updates. Thank you thank you thank you!

This is great advice. I'm happy you like the graphics/audio. In the beginning there was the ability to move up/down as well but I constrained the movement to sideways to keep it simple for me. Lately I've been trying to add jump controls but I have to rethink how to implement it. Maybe I'll try it in the next update.

Thanks for mentioning that. You're able to aim up/down but I'll have to see what I can do to improve that so they're easier to reach

That makes sense. There was another entry that did have a browser version but it was running so slow on my old laptop that I couldn't play it

I love the character design in the cover art. I wish that same style and level of detail was given to the environment as well. I would love to see the view zoomed in with larger sprites rather than such a big world and tiny people. The controls were a little awkward to get used to for me but it works. I could see this shaping up to be something if there were more time for polish.

Love the theme. The music is great. I do like pixel art in general but this could use some work to get the pixels looking consistent with each other. I love the character design in the cover graphic but I wish that look carried over to the game too. Fast paced and highly responsive controls. The scrolling is a nice effect but the world felt empty despite being so colorful. 

Pretty cute characters. Fun music. I love the portal gameplay mechanic. I suck at this game though

Wow the screenshots are beautiful! I'm afraid to download things, is there any hope of publishing a web playable version?

Any chance this could be made playable in the browser?

This is thoroughly addicting! At first I didn't get it but it is so fun I can't believe it. Love the graphics and peaceful sounds. I want to play forever!

Any chance this could be playable in the browser?

Fast fluid motion. The graphics are adorable and animation is silky smooth. I appreciate how fast it feels. At first I was fumbling with the controls but after a while I got used to it. 8-bit for life!

The graphics are very well done. However it was too powerful for my meager laptop to handle which ran everything slow. I didn't get very far. Has there ever been a 3D metroidvania? Could this be it?

Pretty solid game throughout. The graphics are incredible—I could tell from the moment the title page appeared. Responsive controls, fluid animations, great enemies. I can't believe you did this in a week! 

It all came together very seamlessly. The blend of turn-based and visual novel was a nice surprise. Great voice work and illustrations. I do like how there were very detailed illustrations along with the tiny RPG view. If I had a gripe I would say to draw the tiny versions so they look more like their illustrated counterparts. Love the animations too. 

Where did you see it? Glad you joined the jam too! Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'll definitely be adding more to this soon.

Yay Godot!! I'm glad you recognized how rough it is. Just whipped this up a week before the deadline and I didn't get to do much since I focused on the art. But I'm excited to keep adding more later.

Hi just a quick question, I can't seem to get the player to float off the screen. Can you please try it again and let me know if it still happens??

I haven't added a new stage yet but gave the cats ability to attack. Can you try it and let me know what you think so far?

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. I will add more to it soon

Thanks for the feedback Nova. I'll definitely be adding more stages so there is no longer the repetition of the same level. More enemies than just that one also.

Thank you 

Thanks Eli I'll try to address those issues you brought up in an update

At least the browser version works

I just downloaded the Mac version but I get an error when launching—I'm running BigSur on an M1 chip.

Thanks! I will focus on adding more to the game mechanics. There's a lot I want to do here and I'll definitely be expanding more after the jam

I appreciate the feedback. I'm working on more levels but the game  broke along the way so I need to fix things. You're totally right it's not metroidvania but once I started down this path I couldn't go back. Next time I'll make a true metroidvania though

Wow this looks really cool. I love the color and design. I want to play this but I'm on Mac. Any chance this could be playable in the browser ?

Yes I definitely will be adding more levels to this game. I fixed the ghost movement quite a bit but I'll have to wait until the jam ends to upload a new version. There are a lot of bugs right now that need to be addressed

I want to play this game so much but unfortunately I couldn't get past the loading screen. I'm using Safari on Mac.

I love pixel art. It was interesting to see such a big environment and a really tiny player. I didn't notice any audio—was there music? The world is so expansive but I didn't know where to go. I was surprised I could just keep falling for so long before hitting the lava.

The controls are quick and responsive. Gameplay is incredibly difficult. I am a big fan of pixel art. This could use some music.

This is very visually striking. Controls are difficult to get used to but I thought the abilities to freeze in mid-jump and build platforms are interesting gameplay mechanics.

Wow this is an incredibly beautiful game. The design is true 8-bit. Level designs, character designs, animations are all great. So much variety in things to see and the world feels expansive. The gameplay is quick and feels good. I appreciate how flexible the keyboard controls are for both left and right handed players. The dialog and transitions are slick. Very well done. You get all my stars!

Pretty cool overall. Very quick, responsive controls. I appreciate how minimal the sounds and graphics are—you can do a lot with very little. This game reminds me of old Commodore games. Sometimes the text goes by too fast to read it all. Nice touch with the many various items that give you different abilities. Good job!

The screenshots of this game look really slick. Nice animations. Great job on the color. I want to play it but I'm on a Mac. Is there a possibility of making this playable in the browser?
