It was mainly because the cat didn't look like the one in the cutscene. Also, the map was too empty and the art style didn't match the scene. Lastly, the attack animation was just a swinging sword? It would've been nice for the player to change sprites even if it was bad. I definitely think that these things could've been implemented. It all felt like it wasn't polished.
Don't take this too hard tho, these are just my own opinions as a gamer with slightly high expectations 🐱❤️.
