Nice job with the theme

*breathes* Nice game! I think it's funny because it's "cozy" but the gameplay is very hard and tense.

Your game made me laugh. 

An idea if you want to make a version 2: Instead of the same story then you could  have different stories each time?

*breathes*Although the game was kinda hard I had a lot of fun with it, with just the character being so cute. However the key signs are a bit hard to see on top of the pink color.

*breathes* 10/10 for a kitty cat falling in front of a fireplace. This was a really unique idea and I think it's executed pretty well. It is a little bit hard to see the arrow keys but I still really enjoyed figuring out the rhythm and eventually delivering the news in time!
