Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • ​The game looks really cute! Love the setting and the animal characters. The premise of saving the day via psychotherapy is a really Unique Selling Point. Suggestions: -- Tweet needs a Call to Action. For now this could be Play the Free Demo [Itch Link] -- Press Kit: You may want to post a version using Indie Legion's Press Kit Lite as it covers key items in an easily digestible format. More accessible images, video, etc would be really handy for bloggers and other Content Creators. -- Indie Legion Detailed Press Kit or​ FeePressKit is a good idea for more detailed version.​
  • Feedback submitted as Indie Legion.
  • Clear USP and tweet. The presskit could use some fleshing out.
  • Really unique concept that was conveyed clearly
  • Me-ow! Me likey way too much!! Probably because it resonated with me and my failed ambitions of becoming a therapist. And I dunno why but a cat listening to problems is unrealistic at least to me, but they're so cute here soooo... The only little nitpick I have is the Twitter link that isn't handy or nearby. Other than that, superb work~

Very well crafted pitch tweet! Cozy vibes from the game play trailer gives me a much better idea of what to expect from the game itself. Itch page is well constructed and answers whatever questions I had. 

Only change I could think of was to create an actual press kit instead of just linking to the itch page. Provide images/videos directly for download in the even press want to use them.

Best of luck in the contest!

This game looks (and sounds) really great! The first sentence of the pitch makes you think "wait, what...?" but in a good way, and you just want to know more. I would add a link to the game's page in the tweet (as well as a media, your trailer preferably since it looks real nice and has great music!)

This is so cute! I think your game is really creative and the text of your tweet and itch page match the feel of the game well.

My only suggestion would be that you might get someone to review your pitch if you plan on posting for pitchyagame. Just for grammar edits and that kind of thing :)

Developer

thank you! I will definitely ask someone to check my spelling πŸ‘

Really well put together Tweet! Makes the game feel very intriguing :)

+ Cats
+ Therapists
+ Jumping music
+ This is already shaping up to be a CATTY type of game what with the intense sessions and uncooperative patients XD

- Pitch could have been smoother but it is still darn likeable. Have I said well done!?

I'm a moron and didn't realise I should make an actual tweet. Here's the text that's impossible to read as a link πŸ˜–
