The first cutscene is so cute and so is the rest of the game. The idea is pretty original and I liked the way you implemented it. The music loop does get annoying at some time since it's a pretty short one and some times I felt lost on what I had to do, but with time I was able to figure it out. Great work on the game!
I spent a long time trying to get past the kitchen because your story was so wonderful! I wish I could have seen more of it!
This is a great challenge for the brain and really cute to boot. Very well thought out puzzles, I enjoyed playing it a lot. Thank you and well done!
Cute art and interesting puzzles. Good job!
Aw such adorable story telling and endearing characters. Great game!
Look at this chonky boi! Really cool concept, and like how it combines stealth and platforming and such. Some controls and mechanics are a bit frustrating but overall great job!
I think the concept is very creative. It's like a combination of the stealth, puzzle and platformer categories. There are different ways to distract the humans, which is cool.
I think that failing the player when falling down from a certain height while holding the bird adds more to frustration than to the actual gameplay.
Great job on the game!
Damn, this is a harder game than I expected it to be. The restriction/obstacle on the mechanic & levels is both annoying and hilarious/sweet at the same time. Very creative, really adore this work! :)
Lol this is such a cute game. Especially how the cat is so sad about knocking over the bird. It is a bit tricky but I really enjoy the concept! Very charming!!
This was an incredible game for the jam, good job! We could not beat the kitchen to save our lives, though!
Very cute! I love the interpretation of the theme and I love games with non-human characters! I think cats are so interesting and experience the world so differently that they made an excellent subject for games so really great job all around!
Could use some polish and player feedback, but very nicely done in just 48 hrs!
Very funny take on a stealth game :D!! I wasn't able to figure out the living room unfortunately, but had fun nonetheless :). It's a bit hard to tell what's solid and not, what people see etc., though I like the unique art style (and the cutscene!) and well done on the game!
Nice little game, I like the restrictions with the bird - makes it a bit more interesting that your standard platformer
Great idea & execution! Really fun!
I'd love to explore this game more but couldn't get pass the sofa :(
Guess I'll go make that human pick cat's poop a few more times
Very interesting take on the jam and some really cool ideas in your game! I wasn't big on the art at first, but it definitely grew on me. Especially as I saw it wasn't just a normal platformer, there were fun interactions, cool mechanics, and a nice little story all packed in this tiny jam game.
I'd like to see more direction towards what you should do in some of the areas, as it's not always super clear, but that's normal in a jam game and I still enjoyed it all the same.
Good job :)
I really like this concept, it's nice and relaxing. I really liked the music and the cute animations as well. I think with a bit of polish and playtesting this could be a really good finished game!
This is a really charming game. The setup evokes pathos without saying a word, and the fact that you have to be careful with Birdie (even though I never quite figured out what does and doesn't count as "gentle") really enforces the role you're playing. I'm afraid I didn't quite figure out how to get past the TV, but I still enjoyed what I saw.
nice game.
I loved running into the books to send them launching! It might be nice to show a small indicator of what's too close to be detected? But I understand that might clash with the visual style a bit.
Also, having a roomba as an enemy is hilarious, love it.
