How does your game fit the theme?
While there is not, strictly speaking, a storm in my game, there is a decisive feeling of calm in the first part of the game which quickly gives way to a panic as the cave starts to collapse in on itself. But if you consider an earthquake a storm, the earthquake caused by taking the gemstone off its pedestal definitely counts.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. This is all my original work!

Very nice concept - really creative how you need to map your route in the calm stage! 

One minor bug is that you can just walk down at the start and break the camera lol.

fun little game!! audio is a bit loud and music before grabing the gem seemed to jump in and out without reason. I had fun having to try to plan a run after grabing the gem great Idea with some polish this game will be great!!!

Actually got jumpscared after grabbing the gem

I think the game needs sound or music in the first section, and maybe a more gradual transition to the section part.

Nice submission

Nice and short game with cute cat animations! I like how you foreshadow the correct escape path with the cracks on the ground. Good job! :-)

What I noticed on my first try, there was no music in the "calm" part. Also, when you walk down at the beginning, you take the black screen overlay with you.

Loved playing as sakamoto! I also like first half and just exploring the cave, super creative spin on the theme :)

Cool game! i was kinda puzzled at what could these cracks on the floor be for, but i quickly got to find out upon reaching the end!

(oh my god it's that wretched feline from Niche Joe)

Exciting game! I had to play a few times to figure out the best route! The only note I have is maybe the camera could lead the player a bit during the running phase. Overall, well done!

Fun little adventure game, like the look of the main character a lot and the color palette of the desert color and purple in the area make a nice unique combination, great job on this!

This is a cool entry! I really like the atmosphere while exploring the caves, then it's fun trying to escape at the end. Great job!

Great job, you got me :D I was expecting something to happen with cracks on the floor but it still was unexpected and sudden shift from calm to storm :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice game, took me way too long to figure out the cracks are blocked in the second phase. I made it out with the prize!

That was a sweet, short game! The main character is cute.

I instinctively avoided the cracks, thinking you either fall in them immediately or that you can only walk on them once. I'm not sure if I was really in a hurry to get out of the cave in the end, but I rushed anyway. It was very easy, didn't fall once.

There could have been some music or ambience in the first half, and more sound effects overall. Also, I tried walking down at the beginning, went outside the cave and took the darkness with me.

This is cool but why is Sakamoto in a cave, I don't think he'd like that................

I got jumpscared by the music when I grabbed the gem lol, nice game!

Very cute art and design! The game works really well and fits the theme!
Honest Criticism: The music was a bit irritating and the start where the player can leave the house and just disappear when you're outside need a bit of tweaking.

Hee-ho. Very cute game. Nice idea

Cute game, I liked the art. The scramble to get out of the cave was fun.

Simple and nice!! I like the art so much it's adorable!! Also I like how you kinda showed the parts that will crumble at the cave collapse part later so if a player wants they can try to remember those tiles and avoid them later

I remember making a similar game, awesome concept. Initially didn't like the audio, but it grew on me overtime. The graphics could also have been a bit better, but otherwise solid simple game!
