The game is a bit confusing, a little rough but with polish could be great! I like the art though. 

The opening cutscene was adorable, and I cannot get over how cute the astronaut cat is. My only critique is that the cat speeds up as the levels go on, which makes it a little harder to control. Other than that, this was a great game, and I enjoyed playing it!

No claws for alarm anyone! I have this purrfectly under control! All kitten aside, congrats on completing this game


I do have a couple notes on the design:

1. Don't expect the player to instantly know what's going on and be holding in the right direction. If you aren't holding right when the game starts the fireball immediately kills you. I think you would have been better off having a timer ala super metroid than the fireball, cuz it would allow the player to practice the tougher platforming sections each run without dying for being slow, allowing the player to improve over time

2. The cat has a weird acceleration curve where it gets faster and faster as the level goes on. I'm not sure if this is a rocket powered cat, but it makes the game very difficult to control

3. A 2d game in Unreal? Most a-mews-ing

I really liked this game. Some notes:

There seems to be a bug where if you jump, you travel really high up and can skip entire levels.

It is kinda hard to tell what can kill you can what can't. Maybe try and differentiate that a little more. 

Other than that, it was a great submission, and I hope to see what you all make in the future.
