Lovely platformer!

foxtacy 2013-08-26 14:15

This would have been perfect with some sound efects.

Take a look at sfxr! it's a cool 8-bit sfx generator ^_^

killerstarbunny 2013-08-26 21:19

Quite snazzy

aquilicoco 2013-08-26 21:36

Well done

hunlyxxod 2013-08-26 21:51

Great game. I enjoyed it but the jump was a little weird.

sephiroth87 2013-08-26 22:51

Great game, I really liked the level design and the writing (especially the "suicide" scene, too bad for the audio, but this is my favourite so far :D

heychinaski 2013-08-26 23:21

Really awesome graphics and I'm enjoying the story and gameplay so far. I want to keep playing but I can't get past the bit where there's a thin strip of blue and that takes you into a thicker bit. I can't work out how to avoid getting sucked up by it. Anyone got any tips?

heychinaski 2013-08-26 23:30

Never mind, I got it. *feels dumb*

cryovat 2013-08-26 23:37

Thank you for the really nice comments. :)

Seems like the tractor beam track is giving everybody problems. I regret not taking it out. :(

heychinaski 2013-08-26 23:42

That was brilliant!

ghribacki 2013-08-27 03:40

I love metroidvanias, so I am suspect on this one!
The game suffers from lack of sound, though. It could improve the mood and atmosphere a lot.
I liked it a lot nonetheless!

I really like the graphics. I think holding down Z to repeatedly jump would have made the large groups of stairs less annoying. Other than that, and the lack of sound effects and music, the game feels pretty solid. The game is puzzling enough to be challenging without being annoying. Great job!

Cool platformer and great scenario/setting. The game works well with the theme.

2013-08-27 09:27

Actually quite entertaining :) Well done!

yell0w 2013-08-27 18:18

The blue / brown colortheme really hits home with me! The game is pretty challenging, and has nice mechanics!

darien 2013-08-28 00:56

Very nice game! The only thing I don't like about it is the shaking effect when you're at 5 power or below. It's a bit distracting, and, at least for me, it causes some slowdown.

endermath 2013-08-28 00:59

I really like the graphics and the puzzly nature of this game. Great work!

paulloz 2013-08-28 12:13

Good polished game, had a lovely time playing but it lacks some sound :'(

paperblurt 2013-08-28 20:23

REAL good graphics and all games that include cats in space is worth a good rating!

kristof 2013-08-28 20:36

Very nice visuals. The time limit is a bit short for some passages. Also the jumping feels slow and unresponsive. This one has a lot of potential!

refreshcreations 2013-08-28 22:22

Cool game, some tough bits some, not s otough bits, I enjoyed my play through of the game, some robotic meows and other sfx would have added to the atmosphere of it and really finished it off but, for 48 hours, that's something reall neat!

zatyka 2013-08-28 22:33

Nice graphics. I liked the way pictures move accross the screen when someone talks. Nice platform design. I found the slow moving a bit annoying once you get to 5 seconds. Nice job overall!

pixelrebirth 2013-08-29 08:22

Good looking pixels and some demanding gameplay. I like it a lot!

tifu 2013-08-29 14:55

I got stuck in the same bit HeyChinaski mentions...
The gameplay seems to slow down a lot when I reach the last 5 seconds, not sure if this is intentional and possible impacting my ability to get past somehow?

soulrot 2013-08-29 15:40

The 'trigger' for the red buttons seem to be a bit larger than the button itself, which is annoying. Other than that this is definitely a nice game! (The jumping and lack of sound are already mentioned)

cryovat 2013-08-30 05:46

Hi everybody, thanks for your nice comments. :)

The slowdown is intentional. Since you're at half power, you get half speed. To get through the blue beam trap, you need to have more than five seconds remaining. Try walking directly through it. Don't jump!

pighead10 2013-09-01 00:05

I hate kittens and timed games and platformers. But other than that, I liked it.

crowbeak 2013-09-01 00:36

It was rather distracting when the cat-robot portrait moved with every new speech bubble, but this is really solid otherwise. I could wish for WA[S]D controls, where W is jump and A/D moves you sideways.

jacob123 2013-09-01 14:50

You must continue this game next LD. This was a great platformer!

jellycakes 2013-09-01 22:43

Really nice, Has a really nice feel to it for a game with no sound, haven't really experience that before. A lot of level content which was really nice and the humour was funny, and overall I really enjoyed it, good job.

kharza 2013-09-02 01:26

It's a CATastrophy! Just kidding it is really good! I should have played it on Caturday.

michail 2013-09-02 21:00

Great game! The level design is very smart, I love these dead-end corridors. One of the best I've played so far, would be even better with sounds.

raiyumi 2013-09-03 23:50

Yes, another cat game! Would've liked to hear some sounds/music though. :)

theholychicken 2013-09-05 06:33

This is so cute! There's a heartwarming sense of companionship throughout from the story that kept me playing to the end.
The lovely characters really made all the difference.
Love this game so much!

bipolemoment 2013-09-14 02:20

Top-notch! My only problem is that jumping is a bit weird, especially when going up "ladders" (steps on top of each other). Everything else is beautiful. The game itself is gorgeous.

hardgrafter 2013-09-15 21:43

Good game, few collision adjustments and it would be sweet!

joekinglake 2013-09-16 17:00

Very nice, really enjoyable - my only complaint is that the screen always follows you, i think having a small distance where the screen doesn't follow you and you could move freely would benefit massively! It's definitely missing some music too. Great job though, otherwise thoroughly enjoyable!

ointment 2013-09-16 21:28

Yeah, don't do that thing where you don't give the player any cues as to where to go.

jaj 2013-09-16 21:49

Really lovely. I really like the screen size.

manuq 2013-09-16 21:51

A classical game well implemented.

rincewind_cz 2013-09-16 22:21

Nice graphics.. Like others say the jumping isn't exactly what I expect from jumping in platformer game :-) Good job

cryovat 2013-09-16 23:43

Thanks for all the nice comments. You all make feel all warm and fuzzy! <3

Making the jumping less awkward and better (chase) camera are things that are coming to the post-LD version. :)

badgerpriest 2013-09-17 00:05

Cute game. I wish I could make it past the tractor beam part.

cryovat 2013-09-17 00:07

It's not as hard as you think. You just walk through it while you have > 5 seconds of time. :)
