How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a little kid that has to help his grandpa during the weekend. Cleaning cat litter boxes. You have to be nice to the cats as they do not have an easy life, pet them and be friendly with them to give them love
Did you use any assets?
I have used some of the default assets that come with GBStudio. I have also used one song from this package (https://beatscribe.itch.io/gameboy-adventure-rpg-music-assets-uge). I took this package (https://reakain.itch.io/gb-studio-7-11-tileset) as a initial reference to create the backgrounds

The demo is really broken progress-wise, but it seems like a good start to actually redo it as a deluxe version for the cartridge release (with 999 NFT cats).
The labyrinth is very good designed and challenges the player's spacial awareness. The puzzles build up in complexity quite nicely. But you have multiple ways of progression once you find out that the litters you push the dookie boxes into are also ladders to a level below. I only discovered it by chance because once you have pushed the boxes into it they are blocked until you re-enter the screen. Could have been done a bit more elegantly, but it is not impossible to find out. Charming conversation with the woman in the end. I think I just got a weird bug in the end, where the man at the counter said i have to pet 2 more cats and there was one cat not permanently switching to "happy" after petting it. I was able to pet it 2 more times and got the ending this way. There was also a yarn that seemed not to do anything and a mouse which path i was able to block and then interact with, but it seemed not to do anything (left over ideas?). Only one song was used but it was really enjoyable and not annoying. Movement was clean and the speed felt appropiate. I enjoyed playing it, only the ending with the bugged cat dragged it a bit out.

I like the concept
A very well done puzzle! I was surprised by the number of rooms found, it ended up confusing me several times. But it's good, with a beautiful attention to detail.
VERY cute game: grandpa has a big maze for a shelter LOL - i love that you clean the litter boxes and all of the cat sprites have their own personality! i am quite bad at puzzle games, but that is not the game's fault: i still had a lot of fun and very nice game!! thank you so much for sharing!!
A fun game concept, on the concept of animal respect, I can only applaud :D
Fun game. Got a few chuckles out of me :)
I liked the exploration and finding all those different rooms. Congratulations !
Really enjoyed this one. Great level design and concept. Perfect for what it is!
very nice,I love cats and I love your game too
