A cute and fun little game! I really like how the game looks, and the crouch jumping and ledge hanging mechanics are super nice to have! One thing I noticed however was that sometimes enemies would get stuck inside walls. Other than that, super fun to play! If you have the time, I'd also appreciate it if you played my game!
Thank you for playing and for the nice feedback! :) I'm so glad you had fun playing!
Thank you for reviewing my game, I am here to return the favor!
I see that this is your first game so welcome to itch, I hope you make more things. I really liked the aesthetic. It was nice to play as a quadruped. The dialogue has a nice charm too. The ledge grab mechanic has me smiling, very nice. Also that last level was super fun.
I was confused as to what cacti was hurting me. Also the I thought the lighter platforms were clouds at first, which could easily be resolved by putting an enemy or collectible on one.
Other than that I think it's a good effort. It's not a problem that it's unfinished, and I rated it for what's there. I hope you built upon it post jam.
Thanks so much, Neenaw! Yes, first game, first jam, first try at pixel art :) I agree, the cacti, the level design and other things are pretty terrible because I ran out of time. Thanks for the in depth feedback though and I'm really glad you had fun playing!
loved the art! Really good idea
It'll be really cool if you check out our game too!🙂
Thank you! :)
Beautiful art and design. Just needs some audio and it’d be perfect! Fantastic work.
Thanks so much! :) I'll prioritise audio next time, for sure.
Love the art!!! and really entertaining to play, just needed some sound :) well done!
Would be great if you got the chance and could check out my game
That's very kind, thank you! :)
Great game, very cute sprites. Looking forward for a release with sound/music ^-^
Thanks :)
Good game. Only thing id say is no sound and having cactus that can hurt you and some as background threw me off a bit. Id go one of the other to lessen the confusion
I completely agree about the sound and cacti, thanks for the feedback! :)
This is a really cute game. Loved the animations and movement of the cat, actually felt like you were playing a cat. Also there is a lot of content in this game, well done.
As others have said, would have benefited with music and sound and also found that the cat spawned in wrong sections when transitioning between rooms.
Thank you! :)
Absolutely, I really wanted to make a nice tune for it, but alas. I'll be sure to start on the music earlier for my next jam. The spawning part I'd actually implemented, but somehow missed to enter the right values before building. Oh well, I'll try and fix all the bugs after the jam.
Cool game! I know it was much to do in a week, but if it had some sounds you totally would have done awesome on this game! I like how the cat climb on the side of the walls!
Thank you! :) and I agree, it's a shame I didn't manage to add sound.
As a cat lover - I had to play this game. Very cute graphics and a great color palette. I cracked up that the cat can hang onto the edge of the platform - nice touch!! A really fun game and cute concept. Awesome job - can't wait to see how you expand upon this game!
My only critic would be to maybe make the cacti more prominent visually. Having them the same color as the platforms made it take me a minute to realize why I was dying. And then after the fact I saw the warning on the menu screen, lol!
Also, was there sound? I didn't get any on my computer and wasn't sure if it was just me or if there wasn't any.
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game :))
I absolutely agree on the cacti, I'l have to fix that after the jam! And no, there's no sound unfortunately. One of the many things I had planned but that I had to leave out in my very stressful journey to submission. :/
I loved the graphics :) and the animations.
the platforming seemed a little hard for me but just because I don't play on keyboard usually.
please rate my game here ==> https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/768154
Thanks! :)
Cute game! The graphics are adorable and the movements felt very realistic, and the beginning dialogue is gold! Its a fun game trying to avoid all those enemies, though the cactuses really blend in with the background and it was hard to tell that it was gonna kill you. Overall still an amazing game, I enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! That really means a lot. And yeah, I need to change the look of those cacti after the jam – they're a bit sneaky as is. Glad you enjoyed it though! :)
I love the art 😁 and I found the extra heart at the beginning! The jump and the way the diamonds were placed reminds me of Aladdin (SNES) which is nice!
The enemy designs are fun, the cactus kept killing me a bunch of times though until I realized its not a part of the background 😁
Great job! 😄
Yay! Congrats on finding the heart at the beginning! :)) So cool that it reminded you of Aladdin on SNES! I'm honoured ;D
Thank you so much! And sorry for the cacti, they do blend in too well ;)
I really liked the art style and the cats are very good, I like the detail of crunching to jump higher, it feels like a real cat haha, the controls are a bit difficult sometimes but you made a whole game with story, dialogs and end so it's a very good work, well done! =)
Thank you so much! I wildly appreciate that :))
I overscoped a bit (much) and the mechanics and level design are lacking because of it, but I'm glad I made it on time ;D
Art style is good, maybe parallax effect for background can make the scene better. I really hate cactus, i always game over because of those. Sound effects can be great for this game. In general, nice work.
Thanks! :)
This game is pretty cute! I love the art style. Although I think the controls could be improved a bit more, for example I’d suggest replacing the jump key with W.
Oh and if you had the time then could you check out my submission? I’d gladly appreciate it :)
Thank you so much for the kind feedback! And yes, there's a lot of things that could be improved with this game, for the moment I'm just glad that I managed to upload something in time ;D
Nice game. The art style is nice and the animations are really cool. I would really appreciate it if you could check out and rate my game.
Thank you! :)
I loved the art style, very creative! I also liked the mechanic of being able to crab and hang off of ledges. I didn't see too much of the theme present and the gameplay beyond that was pretty typical for a platformer. I'd give it a 7 out of 10!
If you have time, I would love it if you played my game :)
Thank you!
The original idea was to make it so that you need to run through the levels multiple times with new abilities (you collect along the way) opening doors to new areas. There obviously wasn't enough time ;D so in its current state it's just a circular story as in "go to the tower and back again".
Yeah that makes sense, we had more we wanted to do too but didn't have enough time. If you took a little bit of time to try out our submission for the jam I would really appreciate it!
Absolutely – I made a list of all the games I needed to play once I was back on Windows ;) heading there now...
You're game looks stunning and the surfing part is a nice change of pace. Keeps it fresh!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
The art is on point! even despite some graphical bugs on the web build. I love the animations and would love to see this game get more fleshed out! Great work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you liked it!
I was running very very short on time with 10minutes left to build and upload, but I'll definitely post a bug-fixed unglitched version after the jam ends.
