How does your game tie into the theme?
Gets haunted by a poltergeist in the form of a kitty cat, and goes into a haunted cave (and planned to go into a haunted forest but I ran out of motivation before getting to complete that)

I love the art style, story and the idea of a cave that is something like a connection between different places or even realms.

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Good art really liked the story in the beginning. I'm also glad I wasn't alone with the A and D thing. keep up the good work 

Developer

Thanks a lot! and yeah the A and D prompt really isnt my best choice lol

Submitted

The best art and animations I've seen this jam by far! I felt very dumb when the A&D came up and I started tapping the keys as fast as I could expecting something to happen, but looking at the other reviews I'm glad I'm not the only one. I like that you included the second level even though it was unfinished because the art was great in that too.

Developer

Thank you so much!

the A and D prompt is definitely something I overlooked lol

and yeah I included the second level for that exact reason, I was really proud of the art

Well, Polterkitty is my new favorite piece of art anywhere ever. I love the text explaining the motivation - game jams are hard! I'll echo what was said below; I was very confused at first pressing A & D. Nice job!

Developer

The real haunting was me being haunted by the A and D prompts lol


Thank you! :D

Enjoyed playing. I like the  art style.

Thank you! I appreciate it and am happy to hear you've enjoyed it!

I loved the kitty ghost! The text explaining the current state was humorous to read. Motivation can be really challenging. I liked all the help with the controls in game, though it was confusing at first with the A and the D keys and no visible character. Maybe the character could start visible so you see the feedback of what is going on right away. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to tap them in time to get the character to show up, though eventually got it.

Developer

Thank you! and sorry about the controls, I never considered that lol. Whenever I make another game I'll probably keep the animation pressed down for longer.


Also yeah polterkitty is my masterpiece lol

Excellent character and environment art. Many games succeed on just art and story alone, you've definitely got the ability. Keep going!

Developer

my ever changing artstyle appreciates your compliment :)
