Tried to follow 8th one without hints and ended up making 1st one IDK how hahaha. This is just amazing!! And even doing this alone! Truely praiseworthy ^ ^

Developer

Nice art! it has a stylized pen and ink/watercolours wash look to it! you have the whole sketchbook style down pat.

I especially like your creature/hybrid cat art i managed to get Nekomata and Cactus Cat.

Your stories for them are neat as well.

I will have to try and get the other 7 at some stage.

Well done!

Thank you so much for your kind words. As for the art - it actually IS sketchbook art, I drew all the cats by hand, scanned them and then colored them digitally haha so I’m glad you liked it

Submitted

No prob the art was very cool and unique :)

Wooow, awesome job! Really nice take on the theme and great work incorporating the assets! The story is very well written and introduced smoothly. The art style is fantastic—such an original entry! Great job!

Developer

thank you so so much!

Beautifully, beautifully painted! And quite an original game too! I loved the stories about the mythical cats.

The hints were very welcome, otherwise I would have needed a long time to evolve all nine cats.

Developer

thank you for playing and reviewing the game! Yeah, in the process of development I started realizing that some puzzles might be too convoluted so I scrambled to introduce hints.

I'm in love with the art style, it is absolutely great!

Developer

thank youuu!

I think the visuals are fantastic, great job. Also, your take on the theme was really well done. Awesome entry!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I got really excited when I head the theme for the jam!

Really great take on the theme with this one! The hints were really clever and quite a few made me laugh! I definitely needed the hints turned on for this. Was really polished, and I liked the jumpy animations the character did during conversation as well!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words. I wish I knew how to add more animations so I could add more variety to the avatar movement, but thanks to the community input now I know it for the future use :)

I played your game on stream if you'd like to see my thoughts:
Developer(+1)

Thank you, I had a blast watching your stream and thanks for offering useful commentary and advice 

Submitted(+1)

Cute game and concept! Pretty hard though. I managed to get 4, 7,  8 and 9 by pure deduction, the others required guesswork and brute forcing. When I did manage to get one with deduction, it was very satisfying. The drawings were really good.

Developer(+1)

Yeaahh the balancing was nonexistent for the game haha I was worried about that point, but didn't have time to tweak anything. Thank you for the review!

Submitted(+1)

Hey, just wanted to say: After playing all the submissions I could, this was my favorite game in this jam! You did a really awesome job with it.

Developer(+1)

I feel very humbled by this comment, thank you :’)

Submitted(+1)

Very fun game, love the art, had to finish it! Some of the riddles were a little hard to get but got through it eventually.

Developer

thank you for playing it through and for your kind words!!

Submitted(+1)

wow , nice game! impressive to make it so complete with such short amount of time.

Developer

thanks! I'll admit, I overexerted myself a bit during the jam week

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed this game great work. 

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game! I'm bad with riddles so this was challenging! Nice work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Appreciate the review. Yeah, I didn't have time to playtest the difficulty of the riddles, so I had no clue how easy/hard some of them were going to be. This is why I decided to include an answer sheet in downloads lol

Submitted

I'll be honest, I did use the cheat sheet for the last 2 riddles i did.  :) lol. I also loved the story about the cats each time you evolved one  

Submitted(+1)

Pretty nice! It was fun to try with friend :D

Developer

thank you:)
