Loved your take of the theme! The music and the arte were also really cool :)

A really neat concept for a game. The music, art and polish were great! I'd love to see more levels, maybe with some type of hazards or complications

Cute and neat game! And you play as a cat!!! (That's obviously a bonus hahaha) Jokes aside, I really enjoyed the concept, for me it's very original! One think though, the music, for me, is not looping, it ends at some point and just stop.

Great submission! Congratulations!

Nice take on the theme, Good job my best timing is roughly 43 secs, I think not bad for a first try ;)

Another fan of cubes! It's wonderfully charming hand drawn art and cats. My personal best was 00:37:5. If you expand on this, a scoreboard, and more levels, would be nice.

Very Original Game! Very small, but lots of potentials to be had. Best time was around a minute or something sadly lol.

This game is really cute! My personal best time is 00:36 something

I think the visuals and music were the strong points of the game. Very well done!

The idea for the core gameplay was sweet. So far I've only seen the around-the-cube approach for platformers, so it's definitely refreshing to see this in the context of a time-attack racer Though, like this, the cube doesn't have any infuence on the gameplay of course and is just for visual purposes. But it DOES look very good, so that's entirely legit!

I noticed that you can glitch out of the map very easily at some points. Especially at the first sharp turn that's so close to the edge. That is, what happened to me at first, because I was very confused about the 45 degree off controls. ( I got used to them very quick, only struggled for the first few seconds )

Overall, very charming little game. Looking forward to more maps!

Developer

Wow! 36 seconds is by far the fastest time I've heard so far, very impressive!
I'm sorry to hear you were falling off the track. Turns out creating a track is a lot easier that making collision walls for it lol! We had to add a rest button in the north-east corner because it kept happening to us as well! I like to think its better now that it used to be, if nothing else.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the aesthetic direction of our game! We had a lot of extremely talented personnel on this project.

As for more levels, we've got level two all modeled up, with our best collision detection yet. But our programmers are taking a WELL deserved break after honking this entire game out in only 3 days! Stay posted ;)

the art the music the ideas were all perfect.. the move on the other side was very sloppy and bad. 

Developer

Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed our art and music! I'm sorry our move on the other side was too sloppy and bad for you. We hope you give it another chance after our post-vote patch.

A very good idea to use a cube as a loop, I really respect it) Nice style and music + the main character is a cat, and of course it's cute. In general, all this reminded me of the old racing games from sega, so it was funny.

We’re glad you enjoyed!

the game is quite hard, I fell from the cube like 5 times and couldn't make a lap. But I love the kitty

Developer

Thanks so much for checking out our game! We all love the art too! I'm sorry you had trouble staying on the cube. If you find yourself falling off the cube we added a "rescue" button in the top right of the race screen.

1:23 - how bad am I ? ;-)

I love your hand drawn art and how you managed to transfer it into a fun 3D experience. Music is good. Game play is fun. Well-rounded gaming experience you deliver here.

Maybe some moving obstacles would have spiced things a little bit more, but I already like  how it is.

Developer(+1)

I got a :54 so pretty bad! Only kidding! Thanks for sharing your time! The controls definitely took me a minute to adjust to.

Thanks so much for your praise! We were very lucky to have such a talented artist on board for this jam. Thanks for the feedback about some fun ways to spice up the game play. I would love to keep working on this project some day.
