The music transition is a great touch, nice job!
Hi . We really liked Cat's cradle. Here's a video we made about it and other games in the jam. Your game is so beautiful and well made. If you'd like to watch it and comment.
Simple, but well-executed. I somehow moved myself into a wall at one point, but was able to get out without any issues. The puzzles have a good difficulty curve, and make creative use of the main mechanic. Good work!
This transformation really looks good.
Lovely puzzle game! Mechanic is perfect, art style too, can't find any issue. Good job team!!!
Amazing game! This is a very creative idea, it looks so appealing, and the adaptative music makes it even better. I had such a good time playing, I love the cat transformations. It's both cute and terrifying, love it. I like so much your animated thumbnail. Great work!
So cool love the flavour! love the adaptive music
Nice job, the art and sounds are amazing!
Really cool game! The controls feel a little wack but the art and sound is awesome. I think it would benefit from a more detailed tutorial, It's difficult to tell exactly what the moves do, more specifically how many spaces the dogs will move. Other than that it was a very interesting concept.
That's a great take on the theme, super creative and original, it looks and sounds polished but for some reason it doesn't feel polished
The controls just don't feel responsive and the sprites sometimes disappear after restarting, as for the controls problem it's probably the lack of the ability to preplan movement (so when you press w while moving it'll perform the action once the other one has finished)
Other than that annoying thing, it's a good game, really fun puzzles although very unpredictable (as far as the dog's retreat movement goes)
Definitely has a ton of potential, well done!
Amazing job! it seems so complete! i love the pixel art and the switch of the cat is well paired with music and gameplay! really cool idea, also very well made! keep going
WELL-MADE game!! Very cute animals with good mechanic puzzles.
Struggle a bit at understanding which direction each dog will go, should be better with some QoL Visualize. Really want to see this game be publishing!
Thanks for the feedback! A lot of people didn't understand which way the dogs would go, so we added a tutorial page in the screenshots and it will be added to the game after voting is over.
Very good implementation of the theme, as you showcase both roles of pulling and pushing. The art and music are very nice! Great job:)
The presentation for this game is amazing! The music becoming "creepier" when you transform into the version is also a nice touch. The puzzles also were quite interesting and fun to play through. The connection with theme is very clear, this was a great game!
Very clever environmental puzzle solver! Had a solid core mechanic that created a lot of interesting levels. Incredibly charming presentation as well. Really enjoyed it :)
Purrfect pixel art and fantastic game. I love the way the music changes with the cat form. The puzzles are challenging but with a nice progression and variation. You probably can launch this on Steam with very few changes. Definitely one of my favourites, amazing job!! ^^
Incredible visuals, music and great idea! Also, I loved the feature of music switching with your current form. In sum, amazing game!
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong because some parts of the screen are cut for me but I couldn't get past level 1. The dog won't react to my monster form and Space does nothing when I'm a monster. Also when I turn into a moster and then back into a cat I cannot meow anymore.
Hi. Really great game. 5 stars everything. I loved it. Puzzles, music, art, mechanic, everything is great.
Incredible game! Great level design, fun mechanics and a great take on the theme. Really well polished, great stuff!
