Thank you for the feedback! I definitely hear you on these points, I learned from making this game as well as from the feedback I received from players.
I had never heard that point about the warps needing cats before, but it totally makes sense the way you are talking about it. In hindsight it definitely doesnt make the most sense to require you to explore to use the travel that makes exploring easier😆, might have been better for them to give you an upgrade if you had pet enough cats, but still allow travel.
I am keeping all the lessons ive learned from this game in mind so that my new game will be even better! So thank you again for the thorough and constructive feedback!
