Sorry if my feedback sounded rather harsh. I like your game, and I would not describe the camera and movement as underwhelming. I struggle with more time/input sensitive platforming, and I am not proud of how often I accidentally made the cat run into hazards.

No, not at all, your feedback is very relevant. Usually I make games for players like me who like to struggle and overcome, and this time I wanted to target players like you (hence the system of checkpoints instead of a full game restart).
Maybe next time I could make a game that is even more approachable (and at the same time more challenging for those who want it).
Cheers!
