I sped the game up so please give me feedback if it's better now

A really solid game, I really love the character design and the visual style! My only complaint is just that the game feels a little slow to play. other than that, great work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed it! How do you think I could speed it up? Edit: I sped it up now so the game go so slow

Submitted(+1)

Short and sweet, nice work! Reading the comments before I played prepared me for the doors :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it! I should have made the doors open when you close to them instead of walking into them though

Submitted(+1)

Didn't make it to the end because I got damaged on the freefall with 1 heart :(

Aside from that, I really like this. The controls are very slow, but it doesn't take long to get used to them.

Thanks for playing I should have probably made the camera follow you down further then only following you sideways Edit: I fixed the camera so it follows you when you fall down! The game should be fixed

Great submission, nice work! I had some difficulty climbing up ladders, but I liked the mechanics and level design!

Developer

Thanks for playing! The ladders were always a little funky

Nice little game! Couldn't really see the connection to the theme distorted gravity, but the game was short and nice! I do have some pieces of feedback you might want to consider:

1. The cat's hitbox was a little weird

2. Vaulting felt a little weird, it kind of felt like you were just accelerating upwards if you faced a wall

3. Gravity is too low, the game feels really slow because of that.

Other than that I loved the art style and the game, hope you do well!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback. The reason the gravity is so low cause it was meant to feel like your were on the moon, but it is kinda slow and annoying. The distorted gravity idea of the game was going to be further expanded on when you got in the space ship and moved to a different planet but due to time restraints that idea never saw the light of day. The jumping higher when your touching a wall thing always had me confused, I'll try to fix it in the future. I think it's trying to grab onto ledges? I don't know. The cat's hitbox was just a square I now realize, which is weird. In the future I plan to add new enemies and make it more enjoyable as a whole. Thank you for playing!

Developer

Note to everybody: the doors open when you walk into them incase any of you are confused about that

Good Job! Honestly the movement was kinda slow which slowed down the experience, so I think that  making the cat faster would help. Great game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I should've made the movement a bit faster. It was made to parody one of those old adventure games that were low quality you know? 

Submitted

That makes much more sense lol

Developer

How about it now? I changed the speed

Submitted

Better! Definetly better

Developer (2 edits)

Just incase you didn't know because I should have made it more obvious the grey doors open when you walk into them incase you didn't know!

Submitted(+1)

A little slow to play, but otherwise great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback! May I ask, did you think it was too short?

Submitted

I just got to the gray “door” and it did not open for me. I thought maybe I missed something and did not play further. So if that was IT yes it was a little short :) Or DID I miss something?

Developer(+1)

Oh sorry about that! You have to walk into it! I should have fixed that! You walk into it and it will open! Sorry about that!

Submitted

Ok, let me try again 👍

Developer(+1)
