This is a really cool concept! The hunger meter seemed to drop a little slowly, though, and I kept falling off the front of the level. :P I really like the art and the sort of dark humour with nana's fate. :P
Great idea so far! I really like the cat walking animation and the whole mix of 2d/3d in general, it's a really cool style. I don't mind the bugs, it's still fun to play! One intermediate thing that would be nice might be a quit or main menu button, so I don't have to ctrl-alt-del if I happen to fall out of the world :P Not a big deal though, great job!!
I like the art style and it's a great idea, living as a cat when your owner is dead. I would love to see more of it, explore more of the house, do more things, see what the crafting is all about.
And what the cat does to nana is exactly what a cat would do the moment you die.
The music is nice and relaxing.
Although its very easy to fall out of the level if you walk forward.
I'm guessing after 20 days the granddaughter is meant to turn up only to find nana dead, with all of her clothes turned into calls of yarn and the cat licking its paws.
Good work.
The original plan was that Nana is your only initial source of food! :P
after you run out of food in the bowl you have to craft to get a kitty crowbar to get to the fish tank
We did bite off far more than we could handle!
We will be spending a couple of weeks after the jam voting is over slowly getting it finished so its actually a game!
Haha nice and morbid. yes I saw the fish tank but it was empty. I also tried to get in the shower, but no luck.
Would be good to see the final version of this.

ok now listen here, young ones, before the praise, one question:
what is that madness with these zip-files? "inziption" or however you want to call it.
for a hot second there, I thought I was about to loose my mind or trapped in a time loop or some shenanigangs!
stop that immediately!
furthermore - the "kind" part:
"what will a pet do, when it's owner dies" is a question I am pondering for years already - very commendable, that someone is bringing this important topic to the general public attention! I am curious, if the player will be forced to eat the owners rotting body once the cat food is empty... it's a petty, we won't find out for now.
also!
this art style is giving me life! yes!
carry on with it! immediately!
I really like the idea. Quite charming, and it has a distinctive artstyle. I read that you said you ran out of time to finish it, so the bugs and and a lack of a win state are understandable. Don't let that dissuade you from finishing the game. I think it is unique enough that it deserves attention. Oh also the music choice was very appropriate,
Very morbid! It was an absolute blast to wander around the house as a cat, and the animations/art were incredible. I wasn't very sure what I should be doing, but that didn't stop me from having fun! If it was a bit clearer what I should be doing then I might have played it for longer. I'd love to see this project grow!
time ran away from us unfortunately! All of the mechanics are there in the backend, which we focused on a bit too much than presenting the working ones well to the player!
After the jam judging is over (it's public holiday until Monday now in the UK) we are gonna revisit and spend time getting that level finished!
Very happy that people are interested in more, it really means alot as it was our first ever game (outside the GDTV 2d tutorials!)
Loved the artwork and music ! Game looks really really cool. Also story fits to the theme very well !!
good idea. beautiful style. Beware that from the bedroom you can fall off the map
it's worse than that, it's the whole front wall collider!
Patch coming soon tm
Cool idea and great artwork! Like the game and animations. Love the cat!
I really like the artwork, and I think if you get everything you wanted to in there it will be really cool.
after the judging period (and it's public holiday until Monday in the UK) we will revisit and put everything in we want to in slowly without rushing! Would be very interested in people coming back for a 2nd go, it really actually means alot to us
Really nice art and animation, I did manage to jump out the world by going down by accident, no clue what I was meant to be doing but loved the vibe!
Love the style!
Unfortunately I fell off the map here:
I swear to the dark gods that we made sure that collider was working TWICE before we built!
Will try to get that patched as soon as
It was cute between the art and music. I liked your idea of utilizing a 3D plane with 2D assets. I don't know how I feel about it over all. But I can appreciate the efforts and see them
The aesthetics of this are amazing, I love the 2D/3D effect
Nice! I love the artwork. I love all the nice details on the title screen. Nice original concept too :)
Thank you friend! It was all a little rushed, but really love that peeps at least liked its looks.
I love how it looks, the cat animation when walking looks awesome.
I find it funny how the u can just ruin grannies dress and wig to get some string and fabric.
But there is no indication what to do after that tho.
I also kept falling off the map.
Yeah, sadly, it was going to be a Survival Crafting game with the initial food and resources coming from your owner, sadly we didn't finish it on time!
Wow that still has a lot of potential! I look forward to your finished game ^w^
I really dig the art and the ideas for this game. Please continue working on it! :D I and my co-dev will keep an eye on this :)
I really love the art of this game!! The idea is original! And you can ruin a lot of things!!
Fell of the map, and when you go down the table you can't see the cat.
I think if you solve those problems and expand the things you can do waiting the hunger, it will be a very original and beautiful game!
Congratulations!
Thankyou!
The ambitious goal is that you can make a kitty crowbar to get into more things, to make a can opener so you can feed yourself, go fishing in the fish tank, catch mice, and so on
Most of the back end systems are there to do it, we kind of just ran out of time to wire it all in
Do them after the jam. It is an original idea that can be converted in a beautiful full game.
Tested and rated.
Positive points:
Negative points:
Nice and funny visuals overall! :) I encourage you to improve mechanics and putting fun stuff to do while we get more hungry so the gameplay would be more interesting.
I would appreciate if you test and rate our game as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Yeah unfortunately you are right, we got focused on making the systems that we got to the end and went - damn we didn't wire up the area!
Currently yeah you can tear Nana's dress and Wig up, that gives you String and Fabric to make your Kitty Satchel (Catchel if you will)
Will add that back in after the jam!
Could you send us where you were falling out the map, as we can definitely fix that!
