  • So cute!! I love the cat models and the title screen was also charming. Switching between the cats to solve puzzles was great and the music, although short, fit nicely with the game! would have like to see more! --- 20/40

I really love this game!! I love cats, and there are two of them :3 The concept of switching between 2 cats is pretty cool, and the puzzles are pretty nice.

My only main nitpick is that there doesnt really seem to be a good way to restart the puzzle. I got stuck in one level where i pushed the box too far, and it prevented the platform from going up all the way. Other than that, CUTE GAME and I would love to see more levels meow

I think this is a cute idea! I like the idea of cats working together to find treasure. The level design is solid and the puzzles are pretty straightforward.

I think you should indicate whether each gate needs to have its buttons held, or whether it stays open. This was unclear to me, so I think it would be a good idea to make the types of gates different colors or something like that.

I noticed that the pixel art looks pretty blurry. If this was made in Unity (and I think it was),  this is probably due to the import settings you used. If you want crisper pixel art, make sure to set "Filter Mode" to Point and "Compression" to None. This will make the sprites look a lot clearer:

Nice job overall!

Thanks for the kind words and the helpful advice, it really did make a huge difference. Thank you so much!!

Really cute game, the cat feels great the move around and the puzzles are fun to beat. I think I did end up skipping one of the puzzles with the first moving platform. I managed to just to the button by having the other cat standing on the button the have the platform move. Regardless, great work! Keep it up!

I think the sprites and background art were really cute. The gameplay felt clean and fun. The puzzles were creative and got me thinking a little bit! I also thought that the level that you made was really diverse in the different kinds of puzzles it had. 

My only critique is to allow the cats to pull the boxes and/or not be able to stand under the gates because there was this one part where I wasn't able to put the box on the pressure plate because it was stuck against the wall, so I had to use the box (and later I found one of the cats also worked) to keep the gate opened.

There is some really creative puzzle design here! I like how much gameplay you got out of one mechanic, it's a really well done game. My only feedback is to maybe allow the player to climb ladders instead of jumping off them, other than that; great job :)
