Cats … do you need more? Ok

  • Art is cute

  • Game has a good difficulty, levels are well designed

  • The reset is cool but needs to be a little faster since we see it happen so often

  • Please include a web version to ensure the maximum of person can play your game

  • Try and find a way to have WASD independent of keyboards variation, arrows are fine but most gamers will find this position unconfortable

Haha thank you! I really appreciate the feedback ^^
I sadly wasn't able to provide a web port due to not having the GMS web package nor paying the subscription. I will definitely be taking note of the rest of your points. Thanks so much once again!

What a masterpiece! Amazing graphics, animations, difficulty level and cuteness! Also, runs great on Linux with wine.

Developer

Thank you so so much! And I'm glad to hear that it works for Linux as well. I don't have much experience with that OS so it helps a ton!

I haven't quite beat it, but so far most of the puzzles are smart and well-made, and have enjoyed most of them. If I could give one criticism it would be that I feel like this game could benefit from an "undo" mechanic, similar to games such as Baba is You. It would help in some levels where you can easily get yourself killed, and help so you don't have to start the attempt over again. That aside, again, this was really well done :)

Thank you so much! And yes, I can only agree. I had it considered as well but I was scared to implement it last minute if anything would break^^' (Ps your profile pic is adorable!)

This is so good! The visuals are super well done + I think this is the only time ive LIKED Having the CRT effect over the screen,

The sound design is Astronomically good, These feel like best selling-indie sound effects and music, its so well done!

Oh and dont even get me started on the puzzles, the design of the levels is super ingenious & each level had me thinking, Even level 2 kept me there and didnt just let me breeze past, like most other levels, And the thing of whenever you move towards a necro-cat, instead of moving away from you, it kills you, And that makes a bunch of puzzles play out very differently as to if the mechanics worked otherwise

Incredibly good game! Shoot for the top 10 of the jam :3

Developer

This comment singlehandedly made my entire day! Thank you so so much for taking the time to play and rate my game with such level of detail;_; I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
