Interesting intinterpretation of the theme! Very cute!
Cute idea and implementation)
Though you can easily spoil a try if someone gets too far. I think you have to leave the idea with close connection, but let control them both on any distance, or teleport, or let them do something different and special if they close enough and etc.
Music is good.
The design looks minimalistic and elegant.The concept is nice as well , like the close proximity of the witch and the familiar is good idea
Very nice game :D
That was a really cool idea for a platformer! I would've loved to have some indicator of how big the range to be connected to the cat was to make it a little easier to jugde how much I can move the cat without losing control. Great work!
The music is great! If you made it good job :D. if you didn't please credit it >:(
The music does feel like it could benefit from more time mixing the audio channels. There's sections where it feels like a lot of instruments are competing for dominance and it's noisy but the overall melody and instrument choice used is great and the music shines a lot at quieter moments.
I love the way the Witch animates its really cute. I do think having some kind of visual indication that the Familiar is out of range would help avoid confusing. The gimmick and controls are a bit frustrating though and not really my thing.
The lack of sound effects are quite noticeable. It does make the game feel a bit less responsive but I think it has a certain charm due having more focus for the music.
This is a great attempt and the art is just so cute especially the way the witch hops as they move around. Gameplay does need a lot of work for me to enjoy it more though but I think with practice and playtesting you'd definitely improve!
This game could be huge with some polish and mroe levels! Love it!
Is this selfmade-music? Its fantastic!
Very nice platformer! The theme is used very well, controls are responsive and the game has a satisfying degree of difficulty.
I like it, could very well be fleshed out for consoles with dual stick controllers!
Thank you! I like the dual-stick controller idea!
Greqt game which fits very well the theme! I couldn't go very far so unfortunately I could not see the whole mechanics...
I love the music! It's soooo calming. The mechanics of the game fit so well with the theme too. It really made me enjoy the atmosphere of the game more :D
I think the movement mechanics of the witch and cat could be more obvious though. It took me a while to realize the witch and cat could wall jump, I kept trying to jump on top of each other until something happened lol
Also, maybe you could make the cat and witch disconnection more obvious? I know you did the cat eyes thing, but some other indicators like a "powering down" sound effect or something would make it more obvious
Good game overall! :D
Hey thanks so much for the feedback. Yeah I actually toyed with the idea of a semi-transparent layer to show the actual range of the cat and witch but I thought that would be too distracting so I just went with the eye color. I think you're right though that that may be a little too subtle. Thanks for playing!
