Theme interpretation
Getting to the Moon from Earth is such a beautiful idea. I imagine reaching the surface of Earth from an underground dungeon is equally beautiful. Especially when the puzzles are impossible... for anyone who can't create clones of themselves, that is.

Amazing level design, and I love the writing!

Cats and lanterns, in a way we couldn't imagine before, really great game. The humor and self-reference where lovely. We enjoyed this one a lot.

Adorable, I like the glow of the lanterns and main cat-racter. The puzzle solving aspect is fun, though I got stuck fairly early on in an area closed by two gates. There was a block one could push down, but it didn't seem to do anything, and using my clone did not seem to help enough with the weight to let me pass. It could just be that I am missing the solution, though. I like the self aware comments the characters make, and I do wonder what is it those poor kitties had done to end up there.

I like the sounds and atmosphere of the game. I couldn't read the dialogues due to the size of the font.

Developer

Really sorry for that. I will soon publish a complete walkthrough so anyone who is curious can just look what happens. Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

Really love the writing! The level design is great, but maybe a little tricky (not pixel perfect, but almost!).

Good job! :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! The pixel perfect bug seems to happen only in some resolutions. I really thought I fixed that, so thanks a lot for the report. :)

Really liked the core mechanics! Found myself playing for quite some time, trying to reach what seemed like impossible places. A very minor inconvenience was that I couldn't skip dialog, which would have been a 'nice-to-have' since some of the dialog was pretty slow. 

Overall though I really enjoyed it, and will most likely give it another shot to see what mysteries the dungeon holds. Well done!

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it :) the skip dialogue thing is probably the very next thing I will add as it sometimes bothers me too. I am planning to give this game some more love with a lot more plot and levels, and of course, many quality of life improvements like skipping dialogues. Thanks again for playing!

A smart game. I like the smooth light effects. Funny dialogue. I struggled a bit with using the clone to jump. keeps disappearing before I make my jump. It would be better I think to increase the clone timer. Also, It would be helpful to add a map of the level to keep track of the cats you need to save. I really enjoyed playing it.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and for leaving your feedback! I have power-ups and a map feature in the pipeline for the future, so I’m glad you feel it would be useful to have. :)

Submitted

The dialogue was quite funny and cute! I enjoyed helping the other cats and using the definitely not time travel ability. I enjoyed the clever use of the cloned cat to make jumps.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Writing the dialogues was actually a very fun experience :)

Developer

By the way: I already played your game but it was a bit too heavy for my browser. The art looks really great but I would like to play it through on Windows before leaving any feedback (I will tonight)

Submitted

That's so cool! Also the cats are adorable. 

The text is really tiny on windows though!

Thank you for the feedback! :) I was planning to have an option for scaling but unfortunately ran out of time. I’ll definitely add that once the voting period ends.

I think you can update with minor updates, even if the deadline is over. If it doesn't add any actual gamplay it should be fine, maybe you can ask in the community section to be sure
