Probably the best looking game I have played so far. The art is adorable and nice to look at. I also generally love the quirky aesthetic of the game. Definitely one of the most well made games made so far in terms of visuals. Also it's pretty fun to play.
Drats, looks like we won't be winning the coveted best looking witch themed game award this year! Amazing art, well polished and great sound.
oh, i don't know about that. your sprites are a pretty fierce opponent to mine! ^^
I absolutely loved the way the game looks, really cool way of presenting it. The art and sounds were great too. I was unable to get a hang of the gameplay, so I died pretty quickly every time, but it looks absolutely amazing.
Hilarious and fun game that made me actually laugh out loud. Shallow gameplay of course but the fact you can purposely toss your cat makes it a 5 star game from me.
Adorable!
nice game.
The art style is really cute and the music is super relaxing. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a game with this type of mechanic implemented this way! The theming of it makes for a lot of humorous moments like getting choked out when the scarf is pulled off screen or yeeting the cat in order to not immediately get choked out. Love it!
Your game is BEAUTIFUL!! The mechanics are great and the artwork is incredible and the music is so fitting and very easy on the ears and memorable! Incredible work! Great game!
Really lovely twist on the concept of two connected characters! You absolutely knocked your presentation out of the park. Two wishes I would have for this would be for Salem not to disappear off the top and bottom (since it's hard to get them back) and for a basic tutorial or explanation at the beginning of the game.
10/10 would yeet cat again
Very original mechanic! I love the music, animation and art, especially the tug on the witch when the cat falls off-screen. The photo moments were an excellent touch. It was very difficult to get past the first couple seconds and formulate a strategy, maybe would've been easier with a slower ramp up of obstacles?
The presentation is really beautiful, the art, music, and sound effects are awesome, the gameplay is entertaining and the mechanic of the photos is really cool :D
Wow this is an amazing looking/playing game with a very addictive score system! great job!
The presentation of this game is a joy and I love the snapshot postcard when you fail. Lots of fun and an excellent entry!
Love the aesthetic, the photograph change when the game restarts looks soo cool.
Great Job
BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.
It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

I love this concept and the looks of it! Game is really solid and fun :)
omg it is so fun to throw that cat!
also it is sooo sad when you cannot catch it...poor thing
Glad that you enjoy the mechanic :D
We worked really hard to make it fun to throw and don't worry it'll land on all fours 😅
Very well made art and music and sound effects, perfect presentation with the polariods.
The game would be cool with a tutorial. overall very fun game and great experience.
I would love it if you would try my game out :)
God what a lovely little game. The mechanic is super but hard :D The graphics are outstaning and the way you implemented menu and level switching just leaves me in awe. Really awesome work!
Poor cat, someone call PETA on this witch lol :D
Really simple & fun mechanics though. good candidate to be a mobile game
Noooo not PETA XD
Beautifull itch page, also the aesthetic and the animations are amazing! I hope no cats where hurt during the creation of the game! :D
Of course, no cats were hurt during the making of the game. Cats always land on all four legs :D
Unless they get snatched by a scarf! HAHA
Wow! The best game i have played so far, art and music are gorgeous and simple and clear gameplay just makes it even better!
