This is really good! Great puzzles. It was sometimes a bit hard to see which cat was active, especially when standing on top of each other. Really nice pixel art, very clear what everything is. This might be one of the most theme fitting games, both scaling cats and scaling mountains :)

Glad you enjoyed it! Was the issue that the arrow could get hidden behind another cat, or was it hard to tell which cat it was pointing to? I plan on upping the render priority for the arrow post-jam. If the arrow getting hidden isn't the issue I can try to come up with another way to visualize which is active. I know Snakebird had the other birds sleeping when inactive so maybe I can do something like that if needed 🤔
A bit of both. Sometimes it is behind, which is definitely an issue. But even if it's in front, it can be a bit hard to see for a couple of reasons.
The arrow has a white outline, and a some cats have a lot of white on them, so it blends a bit.
The arrow points to the head, and when you have a bunch of long cats entangled it gets a bit confusing which parts actually belong to the active cat.
The clearest for me I think would be to change outline of the entire cat, or something like that.
