Lucy The Stray certainly manages to capture the cityscape night theme as much as possible. The artwork is very nice for an 8x8 game. I certainly felt that it connected quite well with the tileset. However, I feel the visual for the cat does not blend too well with the other art assets. The music is fine, I just wish that the levels weren't made too durable. Because the music can certainly outstay its welcome along with the levels. I felt that the level design was decent, it provided a challenge. I really liked the transition to Amy.wav's pink tileset. However, I wish it was added to the levels before the Player reaches it in the later levels. It definitely needed more assets to keep things interesting. Overall, I enjoyed playing this game. I just wish the experience could've been better with that much needed polish of implementing more objects to jump over, etc. I'd say it's a decent platformer. The controls are mostly smooth. The collision can be annoying with the Player and the tiles sometimes. I like that speed is needed to make it over some platforms that require the Player to sprint and jump.
It certainly has potential, I really want to give more credit to the artist though because the art is very visually pleasing in my opinion. I'd say more credit to the coder if they had ironed out these bugs.
Great work! Keep up the great work! :D

I appreciate the feedback :)
I was going to change the colour of the cat to a light orange so it would stand out against the background better but fireduck wanted to keep the black one. I wanted to work on the music a little more too, but i could only make a quick loop with the time i had, and fireduck just added it anyway. If we'd have had more time for the jam, i'd definitely have been able to improve those things.
