It’s so simple, yet so fun.
Also, I love the classical violin soundtrack while you play.

The Dollmaker's GriefFun take on the theme, very easy to get pulled into another try.
Graphics/sound/music were great and controls were simple and effective.
Thanks for submitting

The Castle of DarknessReal cool idea, our first brainstorming session included a haunted cat game so its funny to see someone else's braincells were vibrating like that too. Really simple idea design wise that just works as a high score "one more run" game

Stacy Visits Granny's GraveShort but hilarious. Super well done on the visuals, straightforward idea, and even a leaderboard!
I played a couple of times and had a lot of trouble getting the paw attack to do what I expected to, despite how simple and intuitive the controls seemed. Maybe there was some sort of “hold down Mouse to reach further” type of system, but it just seemed random no matter how I tried to change my tactic. A quick freeze frame or two at the end of a player’s first run might have helped to explain what it was I wasn’t getting about the controls.

Light The NightVery simple and polished game, and I like how much you focused on the core mechanic with a leaderboard system. The audio and art were very good. I think the game was a bit too short though. Thanks for submitting!

SpiritbaneMaybe adding some sort of obstacles that you have to watch out for would be an additional way to add skill expression. I felt that the game was mostly about clicking as fast as possible, and if I remember correctly, there was a definitive time limit. So, generally some more depth here would have been nice.
The leaderboard system and game are very polished, and I can see how this would be great as a jam game, but maybe the cat is also moving too fast. Not for difficulty tuning as the game was very simple, but for a longer run.
Such a fun and simple game!! Wish there was more levels and more destruction to be had is my only feedback! Great work!!

The Paintings of WhisperwindGuess it's always fun to destroy things haha. My only question is why the ghost had to take over the cat when cats do that sort of thing normally haha.
Fun game!

What did I just run? O_oEverything in this game matches together and I absolutely have nothing to complain. Very polished and original idea. I wish there were more levels to cause mischief, hehe.

Forlorn, But Not ForgottenIt is so fun and cool-looking game. I'd like to have an endless mode where you can destruct housees for eternity, because this is so good

Ghosts go home!Cute and fun! Loved the art style and concept is fantastic. Kind of wish it was just a little longer per run. But I do think the addition of the leaderboard makes it replayable enough to balance it out. One of my favourite entries so far! Great work!

The Paintings of WhisperwindI don't think it needs more mechanics, what you have here is good and I don't see any real need to add additional elements to gameplay.
I'd say for me personally the overall length of each attempt just feels too short. I want to keep playing but as soon as I find myself getting into the groove of the gameplay it just kind of comes to an abrupt end. I wouldn't say it needs a lot but I would like too see the what is here extended into a longer experience.
I really enjoyed playing this game, it is fun and simple, the physics implementation is great, the music/sounds add some humor to it, and it fits the theme quite well.
The art also looks very pleasant. great entry!

Haunting CollectorsIt was inaccurate up until the end. The cat is never innocent [source: first hand pet owner experience].
All joking aside, short and sweet. I was curious what the final game would be like as you posted in the Discord server and it definitely turned out well. The animations and expressions on the kitty were pitch perfect. Glad to see someone else implementing some online components. I really love a good social component to a game for a jam. Good job :)

Geistfeldthe leaderboard is low effort high reward for replay ability and offering a glimpse into how other people do with the same experience. I love adding that to a game jam! We opted for keeping scope down to do it well and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to show more on discord but our artist didn’t want me spoiling too much 😄
Very fun game, the level of polish blew me away. Small things like playing random sound effects when changing the SFX slider and having a random name generator for the leaderboard go a long way to make the game feel more complete. Well done!
