How does you game fit the theme?
The cat dreams of being a knight, but the enemies he's fighting aren't real, and just cause a mess for his owner.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, aside from the font we made all the content.

The art is so ✨!
✨Haha, I'm hoping you liked it. ✨
The art style is great and really cute! The combat felt a little floaty though
I'm glad you liked the art! We'll definitely work on refining the combat going forward.
This graphics is cool and cute! I had a lot of fun playing it. I was surprised to see that the player's shadow is smaller when jumping.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Getting the shadow right was important to us, so we could better give the illusion of depth, so I'm happy you noticed.
Great graphics, LOVE the opening comic! Plus props for having such a polished menu. I think the idea that you're just ripping up all the pillows in the house is super funny. I thought the combat could use some polish, though--I had trouble judging what I was able to hit.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed the art, our artists worked super hard on that. We can definitely try to improve the combat system post-jam. Hope you'll come back and try it then 😊
Really amazing art love the little panels for the story and the pixel art, although i dont really get the rat in it I feel like it could have been a little different like in the game you fight pillows thats what I think they were atleast so instead of a rat i would put like a pillow and it just becomes evil in the eyes of the cat or at the very least make the final boss be the rat.
Thank you so much for the feedback! :) We'll definitely think about the idea.
Cats, complete 10/10 . Good Job!
Thank you so much!

yea i recieve da lot of salary outlast week so pretty much i want you2rate my game or iwill trakc you down adn meet u inrealife. i wouldnt rii skIt
Best cover art in the jam IMHO.
Thank you! 🖤
Very cool-looking game with awesome animations and a nice little cutscene!
I think you should consider having 2 separate coordinate systems, one for in-game position and one for the screen(or just keep it in mind and then recalculate for screen from the height) because the enemies follow you based on your position on the screen, not on the position in the game, so not only it confused the AI's pathing, it also made them go up the wall!
I would definitely speed up the slicing animation, it feels kind of disconnected because it's slow but the slash lands quickly, if im not mistaken it takes over a second for the slicing animation! It can be hard to figure out the distance too.
Other than that it was a cool game and quite polished visually as well. It was a bit limited on health, but i managed to beat the boss on the third try!
Thanks for the in-depth feedback! The bug with the enemies going up the wall is something I have a fix for, but we'll need to wait until the jam is over to post it. We'll also try to add more content and refine the controls and animations. Hope you'll come back and check it then too!
Very nice graphics! Also enjoyed the audio a lot :) well done!
Would be great if you could check out mine too ^^
Thanks a lot! 💚
Will check it out as well!
The art looks fantastic especially the cutscene in the beginning. The controls were smooth. good job
Thank you so much 🤍
The graphics are really good! And the audio is funny :)
You are an amazing artist! The game is really awesome, great job!
Thank you :) Will tell our artists!
I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^
Thank you! 💜
Interesting. What were the cubes with teeth?
Thank you!
Those were pillows, haha :D
Ahhh, lol
Really cute game!
Thanks! 💜
Great stuff! The graphics were excellent, and the comic strip at the start of the game was a really concise and fun way to do your exposition. It wasn't immediately clear to me that the enemies were pillows/cushions (I think?), so perhaps a particle effect of feathers or something would have helped clarify that. I found the enemies also quite challenging, and couldn't reliably avoid their attacks. Music and SFX also great, especially loved the cat's meow when health reaches zero ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely good idea. The enemies are pillows :)
We'll look at the enemies and make it bit easier in next build!
