Use of the limitation
The miner needs to use his health to be able to reach the end of the level. The door will only open with the right amount of health points, so he might need to heal or take more damage to pass.

I didn't eat any because I was programming, but Stru ate several...

I love the art and sound :D
The gameplay is really fun as well
Hi Atanii,
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the art and sounds ♡
Take care, the Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
A nice little puzzle game! Almost relaxing - but not easy!
Looks very clean, with the good pixel-art and the very well-defined step movements of the player.
I can tell you spent some time on level design, those last few levels were really challenging and satisfying to clear.
It was a fun exercise, and a solid Jam Entry!
Hi KaaSnake,
Thanks for the amazing comment! Glad you liked the puzzles and had fun with the game ♡

Cool game with nice art and sounds. I wasn't able to beat it sadly (because I suck at puzzle games) but also because I somehow soft-locked the game by picking up a heart whilst losing all my movement points. Other than that though, the game is pretty good :D
Overall, just your regular game built by.. Bad cats?
Hey MiceOrMouses,
Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you liked it ♡
I apologize for the soft-locked, you ended up finding a critical bug and it will be one of the first things I'll fix! If you're curious to see how the game ends, SwordStrike made a video of him playing in the comments below :)
We greatly appreciate your comment, thank you so much for playing! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
Amazing game, the puzzle design was really pulling me in. Two little things that you might wanna consider:
- The game is purely played with the keyboard, which is amazing, but reaching for my mouse to restart bothered me a little. Nothing gamebreaking :)
- In the level below (level-counter might be nice for feedback) I just got to the right amount of hearts by damagin myself on the first spike, not sure if that was intended
Still I great game, one of the best I played this Jam

Hey Fribolin,
Thanks for the amazing feedback! You have a good point about the reset button, it ended up being a bit counter-intuitive. As for the level, this is an unintentional solution that ended up going unnoticed. The idea of the level was to go to the left side of the room and there, depending on how you got to that side, calculate the health needed to go back and complete the level. Sadly it's such an easy solution that the level isn't even used, but it's still a solution and congratulations to those who noticed it!
We'll fix these things as soon as Game Jam is over, thanks for pointing them out. We are glad that you liked the game ♡
Thanks for playing, stay awesome! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
Everythings really great, the art, the sounds n music, the gameplay
but really bothered me that the miner just teleported between squares and didn't slide to them
Hello Lord Destro,
Thanks for the feedback! I apologize for the character's movement, unfortunately I didn't have time to go back and do a move animation or some kind of effect. Thanks for pointing this out, I will definitely make a note of this in the fix/update list :D
Hope it didn't interfere too much with your enjoyment, thank you for the feedback and for playing! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
I spent a lot more time on this game than I should have. Amazing work you guys!
Hey Saucysaja,
Thanks for playing! We hope you enjoyed your "invested" time with the game :D
Happy to receive your feedback! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
Woooooooooow. Best jam puzzle game hands down. Every level feels so precisely cut, when you win it feels like a perfectly fitting solution. I love the variance in the health requirements to escape the level. The different mechanics are very intuitive and introduced gradually. The art was great, music was soothing but entrancing, the limitation was well used; this is a 100% in my book.
Might be my favorite game, I had so much fun with it!
Hello PixelPax,
Thank you so much for your amazing comment! We're really glad you liked it ♡♡
We're happy you liked the levels, the idea was that each level had a unique solution, but in the end it turned out that almost every level has more than one solution, which turned out to be a good result :D
We are flattered by your feedback, stay awesome! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
Hi! Great game!
This is one of the best puzzle game's I have seen in the jam so far. The art ready for release and the game mechanics are well fleshed out. It took me quite some effort to get through the levels (especially the last one) It is about correct alignment with movement and spikes to get to the exit with exactly one step remaining.
The levels are cleverly designed and usually take some trial and error to find the correct route, since taking a different turn can result in drastic different outcome (missing health or steps). This takes some freedom away from the player.
The soundtrack and story go well with the game. Nice use of the jam limitation. I have not heard of team Badcat before. Are you game dev students? Below is my playthrough, nice game!
Hi SwordStrike,
Thanks for playing our game. We are very grateful for all the compliments. Sorry for the last level, unfortunately I didn't have much time to balance it better, it ended up being a little harder than I wanted.
We are two game developers, I "Kuro" and "Stru", in this Game Jam only I "Kuro" participated. Until a few years ago, we were two students, but now we have already graduated.
We plan to keep releasing more fun games and we appreciate your amazing feedback! The Badcats /ᐠ｡‸｡ᐟ\
Very impressed by this game! I love the concept, the graphics are crisp and cute, and I love the way you included the limitation. Having to damage yourself to move on really brings the puzzle game to the next level of planning. I had a great time, thank you for your good work!
