The increasing jump height and double jump pickups are great ideas and they are well executed. The game is pretty hard for average player, but the good checkpoint system should reduce some of the frustration. Awesome job!
Amazing game!! It’s pretty difficult, but it’s fair. I love the open world map and the checkpoint system. The sprites are cute, and the music is a banger!
By the way, is this written in a custom game engine? I believe I saw some of your stuff in Handmade Network discord server :)
Thanks :) yes, it's written in C with a custom (~500 LOC) engine
Great game! I encountered a bug where I got stuck in a tile and could no longer move horizontally - had to restart the game. Otherwise pretty polished and addictive (also making the difficult jumps feel satisfying).
Good game, addictive but tooo easy for a duck
Very diverse gameplay and pretty straightforward too. Definitely coming back to beat this!
I loved the cute cat sprite! The music and SFX were on point and the scrolling background was a nice touch! The game was full of mechanics which always kept me on my toes, great job! :)
I've seen tons of racoon games, but this is the second cat burglar game I've encountered :) I really liked the use of checkpoints, the sound was spot on, and some cute pixel art. Nice work!
I like the checkpoints because, although I love platforming games, I'm terrible at them. I love the PC's design. Seeing the cat explode is pretty funny.
Only elites make a game about a cat in a laboratory stealing crystals.
Very good level design. Game felt hard from the start and was becoming even harder with every new room. Good thing there were checkpoints :on every step :D
Funny game. I liked it, particularly the background music) I am co-founder of this game https://itch.io/jam/speedjam1/rate/1934265
The interweaving of paths is cool and the regular save location reinforces the desire to try again to get past the obstacles. Nice job
