Very nice in terms of polish! :) Shame that you didn't have time for more levels and a proper difficulty curve. That being said, I liked how the first level required you to drop down from higher above to get all the cheese. That was a nice optional touch in an otherwise pretty straightforward level design!

This reminds me of the classic Mario, with how the level ends and the sound effects. :)  Pixel art is very nice, lovely effect when cheese gets pickup and put in the pouch.  It is really too bad there isn't enough levels and the cats weren't working as you intended them to. Sound effects were on point, but you can definitely use a music track.   I can tell how well polished the elements in this game are looking even if it's not quite done.!

I love a good colletaton and this game nails it! Really good art direction. The game needs more content and I'm looking foward to it! Congrats!

I got the 3 stars for the first stage but the second one was not unlocked. Did i miss something? Anyway, I would like to see more. 

Developer

Sorry, the other levels were cut. Thank you for trying it!

really cute game! i adore the art style, including the animations and transitions, it's so cute! as you yourself have pointed out, there's not much of a challenge in the game, but since you're clearly aware of that, i won't criticise too much. i think it could be a really nice, cute little game if you continue working on it in your free time. :)

Developer

Thanks so much!

Very cute game! Even though you weren't able to finish the game in time, the graphics, animation, music and sound effects were on point and very charming. I especially loved the transition between levels. Would've wanted to see more though, but I understand you needing to cut stuff due to the time constraints (ngl when I saw the little animation transition, I was like no way they made this in a week).

 Pro tip: if you're short on time and want to make your game last longer without providing that much content, I suggest making the game more challenging or pivoting to a gameplay loop that accommodates replayability (i.e. arcade type games, time-based speedrun games, etc.)

Good job though! Would love to see more

Developer

Thanks so much. Really appreciate the feedback! And, yeah, I created the cutscreen animations the last day of the jam and they were my favorite part. After I realized there was no way I was getting the combat working in time, I was like, what’s something I can get done in this time?

It's a simple little collector, but there are a couple of problems.

1. The cats kinda just let me do what I came in to do, meaning that there is nothing challenging me.

2. Do cats care about cheese...at all?

This one's a rusty polish. You'll need to review what went wrong and try again in December.

Developer

I appreciate your feedback! And, yes, absolutely agree. As I said in the description, I ran into problems, and decided to cut the danger element at the last minute and almost fully nerfed the cats. I’d rather release a boring game than a frustrating one, and I think it was the right call in this case. But I’d much rather release a fun game, so it’s something I’ll definitely work on in the future.

SUPER CUTE! In love with the art style and overall feel, I only wish it was a tad more challenging, cuz it seemed too easy. But nonetheless very well done!

Developer

Thank you! And, yeah, I agree. I ran into problems with the level balance and decided to almost fully nerf the cats just before release so it would be playable.

i love the art style, the music, but why when i complete the mission

the other levels still locked.

Developer

Thanks! And sorry about that, I cut the other two levels. There’s a note on the webpage about it, but I ran out of time to update the map.
