This game is soooo cute!! Love the art style and characters and I can see this becoming a fleshed out kind of thing! Good job!!
This is SO FRICKING CUTE oh my lord. The idea is really creative and the trainer's stupidity elicits the exact feeling of enjoyable annoyance I was expecting and it's perfect. The art and music are also really polished--I would play this game if it were fully developed.
This is a very nice game. The presentation is very good. I would make this game a little harder because I think that would help emphasize how dumb the trainer actually is.
It used to be a lot harder actually, but especially for jam games I wanted it to be on the easier side just so more people can see the entirety of the game (like the boss at the end).
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Fun and very polished gameplay, the idea behind the game and the overall presentation is very cute. It would be very cool to see and endless mode of this game with a couple more bosses added.
Fun game, great art and fun characterization! Definitely well put together. Especially liked how you introduced the trainer and mechanics of the game. Solid pacing
Super cute presentation! Gameplay felt really responsive and the level of polish on the animations and VFX made it feel very rewarding. My only critiques would be too much screen shake and not being able to scratch in a certain direction without moving in that direction.
I love the visual, great concept. Sometimes it a bit unfair where the text is not loaded yet and I do a action that make my trainer sad. I like her sad face !
Cute art, awsome concept, I laugh when i saw sad trainer. Also the cat getting hut sound hurt me. Good job.
Don't worry, no animals were hurt in the making of the sfx lol.
Awesome game, great cute presentation super impressive level of polish and game feel for 48 hours and unique concept, more content and this would be stellar
Cute visuals, great music, fun concept, Great game! The controls were bit bad, but I really like this game!
really cute game with a lot of polish. great job!
Super cute visuals!
Super cute game and fun gameplay! Also great job on navigating players through the game :)
This game was so cute from the music to the character designs! I really loved the obedience mechanic and I think it could really be expanded further like having the trainer give you healing items (or a different item that ends up hindering you inadvertently) like in Pokemon if you manage to stay in the green.
Funny thing is that's what we were going to do, but by the time I had the obedience mechanic finished I had been working 21 hours straight and was struggling to focus - in the end I figured it would just be easier to be a bit generous with the health-bar as I didn't want to make something brutally difficult.
Thanks so much for the feedback! We're definitely thinking about expanding further
Honestly the amount of health was just right since I barely had enough by the end, so I think that was a good call for this jam version!
Such a beautiful game, the art is amazing and super cute. The execution of the theme is flawless, I litterally felt like a pokemon (but without the risk of a nintendo lawsuit). Really awesome submission to jam, congrats!!
Easy to understand and really fun! I especially love the presentation. I'd definitely like to see an updated version with maybe more abilities to use and more commands from the trainer :)
Super cute characters and an amazing concept, would love to see this fleshed out more and turned into a full sized game. 11/10.
Nice game! Really creative concept and wonderful presentation. I loved how the trainer seem so proud when you followed her commands. I think it would be nice having more commands that the trainer could say. Still, this is an awesome game!!
Presentation is top notch, beautiful art and very good music. The idea is pretty good but the commands are a bit too demanding, there are many situations where they are very hard to follow and a kinda unfair, they need a more ample time to be performed but the somewhat generous health bar balances it out thankfully.
Made me wonder how a turn based version like the original would work, the decision making would be better but maybe a little too easy. This game gives you a lot of fun concepts and ideas
Yeah we actually originally considered doing something turn based, but I determined we wouldn't have enough time to make the system fun enough without being too generic, so we settled for this. And I feel that this is more fun anyway lol.
Thanks for the feedback!
The game is really well-polished and fun to play. I love both the visuals and the music. The design of the cat is beautiful, really cute! A truly nice take on the theme, congrats!
