Nice take on the theme,

Especially liking the little greetings card snap as game over screen, very comedic ^^.
Sad times when you throw your cat and don't manage to catch it ><.

Mood and presentation are awesome, but I was really disappointed by the gameplay. Also, if you just stay at the bottom of the screen you can avoid all the obstacles. Art and music are gorgeous, great job on that front!!

Yeah, we really tried to come up with interesting gameplay but we just couldn't come up with anything beyond what we have. And dang, I thought I removed that exploit :?

Oh god this is beautiful.

For me, it took a little while to fully grasp the mechanics, my goal, etc. But this is otherwise a good time and I love the postcard look!

The graphics in this game are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful soundtrack and sfx really top it off wonderfully.  

I just have one concern. The sound that the cat makes when its thrown into  sky sounds a bit too real. Please give me the confirmation that no cats were harmed in the making of this game.

The aesthetic of this game is absolutely gorgeous! The postcard endscreen, animations, music, and sunset background all fit beautifully together! And I loved flinging this poor cat everywhere (sorry Salem)

This is a game jam submission? I can easily see this as a phone game, its got beautiful aesthetics and intuitive mechanics that are just fun to play over and over. My best score was 103!

This game is so much fun! I could only get to 72 though before I flung my cat a bit to far...
