Made it to the level with the third cat, but I couldn't beat it. The game is good though. The art style and sound effects are beautiful.

Overall, I enjoyed it a lot. Good job!

Really well executed. Saw a similar game but this is more superior, nice job!

Also death counter would be really nice haha

Unique and cool idea. I liked that you had to figure out each level. But some levels were too difficult and unpredictable and I couldn’t go on.

Wow, that is so cool the idea is so unique and well executed and I loved the simple art style, good job! :D

This is brilliant! Gj :)

I loved the idea and the execution. Sadly I quit due to precise platforming, I did enjoy the puzzles tho. I would love to see this game lean more into that direction!

Great Job! Very tight controls and a super elegant and flavourful concept. I loved it! I think this might go top 20!

Very tricky and precise (and so I didn't even bother going for the cats after I realized they were a collectible) but certainly a unique take on the theme. The instant respawns definitely help reduce frustration.

Its great!

i loved the art and sound design especially, it was a bit too hard for me to complete though :(

anyway, great game :D

Amazing, super original, super hard but not frustrating because its all very consistent. Art is really cute too

This game is really clever.  I like how at times things feel out of control but if you just follow through it seems to work out. The connection between the blocks and the player is really unique and was really intriguing. The spikes maybe might be a little harsh? but I think I was at the last level so maybe rightfully harsh. I have to take a break from it because I just can't get his spiky level. 


Anyway, this is a really cool game! I'll have to give it another shot when I cool down a bit, lol.

I really like this game, it looks great and is a really cool concept, excellent job.

This game is a gem, I really loved the way it completely messed up my perception. On the other hand getting that first cat was probably my biggest achievement as a gamer. Ever.

My brain is broken, but in a good way. It's one of the most original and well implemented ideas that I've seen so far in the jam, the levels are tough but fair, and just the overall concept is really cool.

Awesome game with awesome presentation and idea. The platforming feels great :) I like the Braid-ish mechanics with more of an arcade touch to it :) My congratulations to you guys! This is a really short but finished and polished game!

Fun and very challenging. Love the look.

Really good idea and implementation. Only thing is, last level is very unvorgiving with the spikes. But good game!

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed this one, you made a lot of cool things with the mechanics. Nice and interesting platformer in a strange world indeed

Submitted(+1)

Very solid entry! Creative concept and well executed. 

Love the minimalistic aesthetic too: details like the fluid animations, subtle effects (like dissolving upon death), color palette, particles in the background, etc., really make the minimalistic approach work. Great little game!

Nice, this is one of the best games I've played of the Jam. Very unique and fits the them well. I love the graphics and overall feel of the game. You did well to make the controls feel tight and responsive, making me keep wanting to play despite dying every second (like Celeste). I think the movement speed is fine, but I would like to see less jumps where you land on a single block. It feels pretty cool jumping and not knowing where you are going to land, however sometimes I feel it would benefit from some directional arrows showing how a platform moves. Overall, really fun and unique game.
