How does your game fit the theme?
A cat has nine lives and after every life the cat will learn a new ability that will unlock more parts of the game.
However every death also decreases the attack power so the player has to choose whether to unlock more abilities or to stay more powerful. You can figure out your best tactic to break your own highscore.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
yes i did

Very nice art and way to stick to the cat theme all the way even with the "paws" menu and lives. Solid platforming as well, it could do with a level select that way if you die in a later stage you don't need to replay everything.

Hey thanks for playing. yes your right my level design a savepoints not so good in this game. thanks to be honest.

First off, the pixel art is beautiful, with a great color pallete! This is also a really clever take on the theme :) I don't really have any complaints, other than that i wish checkpoints were added throughout each level (if theres already checkpoints, then i would add more of them.) I ended up rage quitting due to me having to restart the second area all over again.

Besides that, this was pretty fun to play, great job!

Developer

Hey thanks for playing ! yes for next time i need savepoints your right :)

To be completely honest, it's a very well made game. I find it very good and amusing but there are some problems.

The main one is camera. Maybe I did something wrong or I did not see something but camera shows almost nothing what is below the cat character, or handsome rogue (I like to call cats this way lul). Anyway, the way how camera was placed was the main cause of deaths for my and it was a little annoying.  I would change something with the gravity. When I wanted to cross the first obstacle I fell into the pit when I jumped. The cat really fast starts to fall and it can be a little tricky. But I think it might be just  a skill issue because later I didn't have that problem.

IT's very beautiful game with charming sound effects. You did great in this time period and I liked yours game. Good job!

Developer

hey thanks for playing. yes you are right. i did som changes with the camera in boss room in the last ours of making the game. it seems that this changes are in the hole game so the camera i a waaay to hight. i was to late to see and change it for time was up. Thanks for your review!

Realy cool game. It looks realy good and realy cute. It's also realy fun to deside if you die or keep playing with less abilaties. games a bit hard but that is not necessarily a bad thing. also the sunglasses at the begining of the game are amazing

Amazing game. keep it up♥

Developer

VERY cute art! I really loved the cool sunglasses i could wear, game changing!

I got to the bossfight with only one life left, so sadly i couldnt beat the game :(

I almost killed him with just that one life! 

Very fun game, innovative, and most importantly, overwhelmingly cute!

Developer

This is a really cool concept, I love how you interpreted the theme. The game looks awesome and the audio is good. The gameplay is fun, but it is a bit unforgiving. I think it would be cool to give the player some sort of health or something just to avoid having them explode the second they touch an enemy/spike. But once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun and I beat the final boss (though it is a bit weird that you get immediately kicked back to the main menu).

Overall, a super creative game with great pixel art and fun gameplay!

thanks for playing :) yes you are absolut right. the time was to short in hours of creation

So cute and beautiful, I had a hard time enjoying the gameplay because of the physics, but the sound design and pixel art was all too mesmerizing. Good job, looks like someone put some work into it.

Loved the art and the music! The orange theme gave me Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas" vibes. Great job!
