I really like the idea behind the game and the visuals are awesome!
The art was great!
Very cute art and music! Love the characters too! Cracked me up that this girl is telling me to stay still while a big bear is trying to kill me.
Had some troubles with the controls, missed a lot of trainer's orders because I was in the middle of doing something when the popup appeared.
But great artstyle and very lovely game!
Cute artstyle cute characters, and a nice reversal idea, great work!
omg omg le tiny cute cat is super nice! i really like the idea and the controls are super nice to use, congrats!
Bompur is adorable and while the game was a bit easy there was something special about having to comply with weird warioware-esque demands while playing a fighting game. Almost like Smash's warioware levels.
really love the art style!! so cute!! ><
Really cute game! The art style is amazing, the story is fun, and mechanically it feels great. If I'm nitpicking, the screenshake felt a bit much, but apart from that awesome job!
It is ADORABLE!
Visually, not a single bad point: the sprites for both characters and creatures are amazing (Bonpurr's eyes convey the purest c o n c e r n), the game is very easy to read, and the actions you take have obvious visual/textual feedback.
The little story is very cute, and you really feel bad for disobeying the trainer, even if it is obviously the right thing to do. :c
I knew there would be some reversed-pokemon concepts, and yours is a very well executed one.
Excellent job to the team! =D
Pretty cute game!
I'm not exactly sure about the tree command, and also the way that flame dash works... I swear, it sometimes feels, like flame dash just never works when you need it...
Otherwise, the game is neat, art is cute, I like the music... And that surprise at the end is really good!
very cute game with a neat and well executed concept
i couldn't figure out how to "hide in a tree or something", and sometimes i'd do what she asked me but still get a negative response. but i still beat the big bear! this is a fun game, and it's SUPER cute. great job!
Haha yeah the system isn't as accurate as I'd like it to be but hopefully it wasn't too much of a nuisance. Hiding in a tree just means you need to stand really close to a tree without doing anything else. Still really glad you found it fun, thanks for playing!
Exploding Kitten :)
OK that is a really iconic design for the kitty lol, I had a lot of fun! great job!
I think she's ready for the Elite four
Daaaaang. All the stars! What a killer game for 48 hours ?!!! You clearly have a talented team with a lot of personality! Big high five to Cathy. I absolutely love how the kitty stands up when idle. <giggle> and there's something so satisfying with the frown on the trainer. Only immediate suggestion would be to get caught, like, right away. I had no idea what I was doing until it happened.
Super happy you enjoyed it so much! Cathy actually had to leave partway through the jam so there was a lot of pressure on her - I'm very grateful to her lol and I'll make sure she reads this. I definitely could've done the tutorial/intro better, but it was meant to introduce your trainer and sort of "how did I get here" haha. Thanks so much for playing!
Super funny game, my girlfriend's favorite :)

Come play our gobo game if you get a chance!
Cute cat critter and interesting idea. I thought it could be better if the trainer gave out commands more often because if felt like you were free to do whatever you wanted most of the time. I enjoyed playing, great work.
Thanks so much for the feedback! I tried experimenting a bit with the command times but I figured that having the commands go too often would take away a lot of the fun in controlling the character; I guess part of the goal was for you to still enjoy playing as the cat but be ready in case the trainer makes a command. Glad you still enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
The art-style is FANTASTIC! The characters are also quirky and fun, I love em'. The whole team did an incredible job with this game, lots of care was put into it and it shows! You took the theme and ran with it in a really unique and interesting way, and I love the dynamic between the trainer and out smol hero. Overall, great job!
