"You have to jump" This is true. While it doesn't innovate with complex mechanics, this game puts a smile on your face with its funny visuals. Its nice to see that all the mechanics in the game were indeed made with Bolt, but I feel the graphs could be more simple. I would like to see this game take the unpredictable nature of the cat's jump further for a good laugh.
Cats and jumping and collecting fish are all things that appeal to me. I like that can charge up your jump for a super-powered air flip jump. I wish there was a bit more going on but it's a neat idea. The catchy music loop is stuck in my head now. Good organization of your graphs.
Loved it! Simple but fun. The game has this vaguely absurd feel to it communicated through the eerie music, naive visuals and deceptively simple mechanics. It's a game I would've played obsessively as a teenager!
I think the Bolt graphs could be organized a little better to help you maintain and iterate on the game more, but it's very cool to see basically the whole game fit inside a single screenshot. It shows how simple making a game should be.
Congrats!

Either my Mac is too old or I'm bad at jumping - probably me. Nice mechanics.
It was harder than it want meant to be :D
After the submission ended I tested to build a Windows version. It was little easier there as the colliders didn't overlap or go through platforms (I just added the Windows-version to game's page).
