This was a neat entry. Short and sweet. The graphics are *great,* and the music is really well-done--especially that first tune, which reminded me of some sort of German Opera sung by a cat. Glorious, laugh-out-loud weltschmerz. I loved the way that the dialogue was written. I did actually have so much trouble with the final room that I almost had to give up on the game, though, because first I had no idea why pressing the red switch would make the scientist grab the ham (it wasn't clear that it was falling or suchlike, and second I didn't guess that the radio would have multiple stations I could turn it to--I thought I was supposed to do the radio and then look for something else to interact with it. In retrospect this was kinda dumb of me, but from there straight to a sort of non-sequitur ending I was a bit disappointed.

Your assets are amazing, the stealth sections were fun, and I loved the idea of astral-projecting yourself into the electrical socket. Thank you for the game!

I think it goes without saying that this game is incredible. Good work!

soulgame 2014-08-26 03:28

Very nice arts and animations. Well done on finishing :)

sekaru 2014-08-26 03:47

Excellent animation and art style. My only complaint is that aside from a few basic stealth elements the gameplay wasn't really there.

2014-08-26 03:49

This game is pretty fun, awesome graphics and game mechanics as well. :3

nicotuason 2014-08-26 05:18

5 stars for graphics, audio, humor, and mood! Some of the best in the whole LD. Amazing game!

radmars 2014-08-26 06:22

Absolutely stunning art and storytelling. The music perfectly complements the environment, setting and overall mood of the game. The characters have great personality and style. The gameplay is simple but well executed. Well done!

njord 2014-08-26 07:45

CAT IN DA 'HOOD !

h03n 2014-08-26 09:27

Very impressive Game! I like almost everything of the game. For now, its my favorite in this Jam :)

megamasterx 2014-08-26 10:56

Stellar look and feel. Well done!

coldman 2014-08-26 11:20

Really nice game ! Great graphics and animation !

emak 2014-08-26 11:47

Lot of fun! great job!

thomassand 2014-08-26 13:06

Truly impressed by the quality of the graphics, the high finish level, the sound design and others.
Also an original and really well thought idea of the use of the schrodinger's cat concept.

Amazing work, Bravo !

tjxx 2014-08-26 13:52

Very nice job! I didn't finish it, but I really enjoyed playing this! :)

enteagd 2014-08-26 13:58

Best game I've played and rated so far. Particularly high graphics and audio quality!

thiaguera 2014-08-26 15:02

AWESOME!

hairein 2014-08-26 15:05

Very nice! Graphics and location fit well and it's a lot of fun to play.

benjamin-soule 2014-08-26 16:45

Lol :) Some awesomes quotes here ! There's a lot of game with undeads but quantic undead is a lot more fun :)
Bug (+spoiler) : on the last sequence the first time I clicked on the plug for the anvil shrodinger was walking without moving. After that with a second click the anvi lanim played but shrodinger stayed in that stance ( no death anim or splash, just walking )

primaerfunktion 2014-08-26 17:58

That's one sexy game. Just everything about it is gorgeous!

homeworld 2014-08-26 18:07

Great effort, especially loved the graphics!

gametery 2014-08-26 18:26

Great Overall, very good work :)

moosefly 2014-08-26 18:52

Really reminded me of Ghost Trick, and that's always a good thing!

I have only a few minor complaints about the glorious package that is this game (apart from the obvious typos). In the first screen I got Maru to run in place and the controls were somewhat stiff all over the place (the ghost controls were fine though). The ham and the anvil not having a cool falling animation also broke the illusion somewhat. Really nice entry especially when it comes to the aesthetics!

frankus 2014-08-26 18:56

Had I lot of fun playing it! Good work :)

sprawl 2014-08-26 19:47

One of the best this LD. Art is amazing.

bladderbloat 2014-08-26 20:38

A-wesome!

markusfisch 2014-08-26 21:08

What a really cool idea! Schnitzels, rock'n roll and quantum cats - what more do I want?! :)

Really enjoyed that game! Lovely graphics! And all the details. And I even like the music. Really, really good!

ponywolf 2014-08-26 21:30

Wow. Nice look and feel. Very stylized....

Liked the effects and animation quite a bit. Wow again.

autonomous 2014-08-26 21:31

very nice game

alxr 2014-08-26 22:22

The best game so far!!! Love it so much!

mechanicmoon 2014-08-26 22:42

Really really nice graphics. Its funny and i have my great end! Nice job!

ehtd 2014-08-26 22:48

Great graphics and music

dragonxvi 2014-08-26 23:01

Neat! Has a very Ghost Trick feel to it & a nice take on stealth/puzzle games :P Art is fantastic, as is the audio.

nisshoku 2014-08-26 23:22

Like the setting love the art style. The game looks really neat and stylish. some minor problems with the white text not disappearing on white background. didn´t encounter anything gamebreaking. good job!

nisshoku 2014-08-26 23:34

gfm 2014-08-27 01:18

Wow! o_o
Amazing quality! The graphics and the music are superb!

The game is really fun and funny, even with few possible interactions (for a point-and-click). Even the passages were you had to wait and move cautiously were fun because of the animations.

Congrats! =D

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-08-27 11:51

Awesome animations

deepnight 2014-08-27 12:21

Ah ah excellent point'n'click :) Everything is very intuitive and feels natural!
Love the animations and the music!

kill0u 2014-08-27 12:25

Pick up the sausage! Wait.. where's the sausage? T_T

Great game! :)

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 15:05

Very nice art style, very smooth controls! A few issues. The wall sockets don't really look interactable (other interactive items are bright red) so it took me a long time to start using them. Also, it's real easy to lose a level and then watch the opening again, which gets frustrating. Otherwise, cool stuff.

yopsolo 2014-08-27 18:49

zomg ! just awesome !

zkenshin 2014-08-28 00:12

The atmosphere was lovely, great job.

phocker 2014-08-28 01:20

Aside from the graphics it was an ok point and click. Understandable in the time it took to make such amazing graphics. Top notch entry, great job.

emotiontheory 2014-08-28 01:26

Such polish! Stunning work. You get ALL the STARS

partiallyexciting 2014-08-28 01:30

FIVE STAR SWEEP. You are a winner! Put this game on steam!

ragepaint 2014-08-28 01:50

Awesome game! I liked the cat themed songs and the rendering effect you guys did.

patacorow 2014-08-28 07:37

Now this one's a gem! I LOVE the assets and the idea of the cat being both alive and dead is hilarious. I really hope this wins!

iamspencer 2014-08-28 08:14

amazing, simply, amazing. Amazing graphics, sound was brilliant, and the game play was engaging and fun. bookmarked, will be playing again, and hope to see a full version of this soon! Way to go everyone! :)

inateno 2014-08-28 09:04

Excellent!

lakael 2014-08-28 17:03

Ok, that was legit. So addicting, so much fun. You guys did an amazing job. Music, graphics, story, concept - everything came together beautifully. Nicely done!

atomicvikings 2014-08-28 17:08

Awesome! The only thing that could improve this game is more content! Keep it up!

nonentheless 2014-08-28 17:14

Love it, amazing graphics, great sounds, idea is excellent, one of the best entries, AWESOME!!!

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 18:25

Amazing game

nuclearnapalm 2014-08-28 18:27

One word - BRILLIANT!

commodorekid 2014-08-28 19:09

It is really good with the story, music and graphics but it is too short in my opinion.

artamus 2014-08-28 19:37

Nice game, congrats!

sephyka 2014-08-29 09:54

Very good entry, I really like the world that you have created. It's very fun to play with the cat ghost! Nice graphics, nice songs. Great!

dunin 2014-08-29 14:58

Nice looking game.
Simple, but I stay on room to see and listen...
(and remind-me ghost trick too...)

g_o 2014-08-29 15:39

Pretty nice entry
I liked your use of shredinger's cat
Wasn't that fun but it sure was funny huh
Graphics are great

camilleh 2014-08-29 15:50

I must be missing something... stuck on the very first level lol. I'm clicking on literally everything I can without him seeing me, and nothing is happening? That aside, the game looks gorgeous, audio is awesome and mood/humour is great.

robber 2014-08-29 15:58

amazing

lars-faust 2014-08-29 17:50

Awesome.

ruerob 2014-08-29 19:58

Very great super game. I really enjoyed playing. What an amazing peace of gamedev essence. Thank you for this entry.

local-minimum 2014-08-29 21:06

Superbly executed game. All aspects really well worked. Rare to such a game in LD. I'm very happy to have played it. It didn't matter that it was quite short. To actually get to complete one or two games is truly rewarding too. I usually find something to complain about but I don't feel like there was anything, except maybe a re-play button and some easter egg thing on the final screen...

javadocmd 2014-08-29 21:07

Gorgeous and funny! I felt like the last puzzle was a bit cheap. Maybe I missed a clue but I solved it only by randomly clicking on things. Perhaps this was just due to the time crunch, which is understandable. Great concept and well executed.

jod 2014-08-29 21:11

Holy crap, those are some sweet, sweet graphics mixed with some beautiful sound. Extremely well done!

The gameplay serves to tell the story, so props on that!

kescoe 2014-08-29 22:11

Amazing use of color, and sound! Everything about this game feels well polished. It was a joy to play, Thanks for sharing!

wdebowicz 2014-08-30 01:09

Top entry! What a great story adaptation!

leafarz 2014-08-30 03:12

woah great game!
this is really awesome! i really like the visuals and the story of this. this was fun.
really hoping to see this game in the future!
great job! :D

stevesalmond 2014-08-30 05:48

Awesome, I really enjoyed that. Thanks for making it guys!

ghostinthesoft 2014-08-30 07:15

Pretty nice entry, fun and funny

hadesfury 2014-08-30 09:27

Great one !

_rilem 2014-08-30 20:58

The mood was excellently set in this game. Lots of different sounds and music for actions. I really liked how music and sound effects worked together brilliantly. A great game in every aspect.

traumendes_madchen 2014-08-31 19:45

Nice ! The anvil part was a bit counter-intuitive, otherwise the game was fun to play. Cats are evil, I knew it 8).

adamharte 2014-09-01 05:47

Awesome and amazing! That's right!

silii 2014-09-01 13:05

Really nice. I see you few minutes before Mt-live ending (Sillyguy)
Love Quotes, Graphics, and great idea for the theme.

adriczero 2014-09-01 14:58

Beautiful graphics and atmosphere with the music and lighting effects. Good humor too.

dissiden7 2014-09-01 16:04

This is an amazing entry.
Great writing, beautiful art. Fantastic.

bradsmallplanet 2014-09-01 16:44

Incredible amount of polish on this game. I appreciated the quantum physics jokes as well.

dohan 2014-09-01 17:08

Really awesome entry! Sound, music and graphics are perfect. And I love the cat walking animation cycle!

sbarrio 2014-09-01 18:11

Incredible entry. Loved the art, music, animation and dialogue. I would totally play this if it was any longer, but I guess it's just perfect the way it is. Congratulations! :)

conflictivelabs 2014-09-01 18:58

Wow this is really beautiful. Very well done and polished. It's amazing that this game was done in 72h. Definitely my favourite so far!

ventura 2014-09-01 19:55

I really love the music! and graphics :D hahahaha. very funny.

spotco 2014-09-01 20:14

Really amazing stuff. Excellent art and writing (you really deserve that 5-star humor!)
Got stuck in the last scene (just started clicking around randomly, where'd that anvil come from?)

bentog 2014-09-01 20:29

Great work, one of the best I've seen!

zerkruemler 2014-09-01 20:35

Fantastic Music and Graphics. Also very clever puzzles. Funny also the german words Schrödinger says. Unfortunately it crashed in the radio level.

rallebauz 2014-09-01 20:55

This game is amazing.

albertosm 2014-09-01 21:07

This game taught me that cats can be bad, even when they are dead haha! Got a lot of déjà vus of Ghost Trick, not that it's a bad thing!

carduus 2014-09-01 21:37

Thanks for testing our game, really it's moving because we did not expect such enthusiasm ;)
we'll try to do better next LD in december!

datacr4sh 2014-09-01 21:47

man, fantastic package, so polished and charming. well done.

grooveman 2014-09-01 22:14

Oh my god, I'm getting some intense Ghost Trick vibes here, and I couldn't be happier.

This plays like a dream, but if I was to suggest anything it would be a little more consistency to what you can interact with in Ghost Mode - all the switches are in red and that makes sense, but I fell the electrical sockets should be too.

Thanks for making this! It was real cute.

simplesmiler 2014-09-02 09:27

That is so freaking cool!

bytegrove 2014-09-02 22:37

A really solid entry, fun to see a point and click game! I like that it was a little like ghost trick, but I liked the setting for this game a lot more than that of ghost trick. Funny monologues as well! Shrödinger was really gangly and creepy, hehe. The last puzzle felt a little less polished, but overall the game holds a really high amount of polish. Awesome work! :D

sunflower 2014-09-03 12:43

Yup, that game is pretty excellent, even if short. Kinda reminds me of Ghost Trick. Graphics and animations, various soundtracks, pretty fun puzzles and the cat.
...come to think of it, it really is like Ghost Trick. O.o"

Sure I wouldn't mind seeing more of that...

lotusgame 2014-09-03 13:36

I really enjoyed the mood throught superb graphics and effects, good music and delirious story. Excellent job :)

towelking 2014-09-03 18:08

Fantastic game, the art is top notch and the gameplay is hilarious.

andrewkennedy 2014-09-03 21:30

Nice art! It was interesting but I couldn't get past the food part.

malf 2014-09-04 08:15

It seems a very polished game, but it got stuck for me (some games in Ludum Dare seems to have problems with the flash debug player , I think)

malf 2014-09-04 09:46

I was able to play it finally . GREAT GAME!! Impressive :D

runvs 2014-09-05 10:17

Great Game. Schnitzel-Delivery FTW!

chadiik 2014-09-05 16:04

Yeah!! :D

chadiik 2014-09-05 16:14

Cat was ANGRY!

vividhelix 2014-09-06 04:39

This was hilarious, original, fun and also the graphics were amazing!

jahmaican 2014-09-06 08:37

I don't know what to say, this is amazing!

citsua 2014-09-06 10:00

Stars, stars everywhere. I only put 4 in fun because gameplay wasn't that interesting but still, I hope this game ends up in the top 3 overall of the jam!

papygaragos 2014-09-06 14:17

Really nice entry

lythom 2014-09-06 16:19

Hi, here's some feedback about your game.

What i liked :
- The subjet you choose (Schrodinger) and the atmosphere you built around
- The realization, it's neat and really playable.
- The cat narration
- Musics and sounds
- Graphics and animations
- The difficulty (pretty well balanced imo)

What imo could be improved :
- The ending. An anvil ? Really ? There was better to do !
- Your game description. It's alot better than announced, don't talk about bugs (didn't see one, but maybe it was correcteed by the time ?), just keep the positive part, even if you think your game doesn't deserve too much praise. You can still highlight the parts your proud of and keep that humble approach without the negative points =)

A very good overall, thanks for the game !

lokarunith 2014-09-07 12:16

Very intriguing take on the theme, Puzzles and mechanics are very fun and art is also very well done. Good job!

Jeremias 2014-09-07 13:37

Very good job. The style, the visuals and the music rock! I wished you had more time for more and more complex puzzles.

mcapraro 2014-09-07 23:16

this game looks really awesome! great art and nice entry!

tbamberg 2014-09-08 04:28

really well done!

pythong 2014-09-08 08:04

Scheiße :D ? Awesome, really awesome job. reminded me of Phantom Detective - Ghost Trick. Big respect (!) for the graphics and the animation, though I'm a bit offended about the Schnitzel delivery ;) I'm German, and Schnitzel tastes best when it's made 100% fresh ^^ no delivery can be that quick :D

franklins-ghost 2014-09-08 14:00

Such a nicely polished entry, liked the puzzle aspect and the way you used the theme of connected worlds. Great art and the music worked so well. The animation of the cat in the box movement was my favourite, loved the bouncing nature of it. Also was able to play till the end so that's always a good sign. Did feel like the last puzzle screen was a bit out of the blue though with the chicken and anvil.

drcicero 2014-09-09 22:27

Schnitzel Delivery... :)

erkberg 2014-09-10 21:06

Great art and music, very nice gameplay too. I enjoyed this quite a lot, good job!

teejay5 2014-09-11 07:50

HAHA turns out my LD entry isn't the only one involving a ghost cat! THIS IS SO GOOD. Schrodinger's cat as a game mechanic? SO AWESOME AND CLEVER. Superb visual design, and that soundtrack is absolutely killer. I love everything about this entry. SO POLISHED

teejay5 2014-09-11 07:51

like really i just left the ending music playing on repeat while writing that comment

headmade 2014-09-11 22:57

The graphics are outstanding!

barryrowe 2014-09-12 01:27

This game looks so good. The concept is always great (I'm glad to see a game without planets!) I loved everything about this entry.

lasagnegames 2014-09-13 07:40

Wonderful game

apiotrw 2014-09-13 14:52

Fantastic entry :)

magewalkr 2014-09-13 15:28

ahahhaha wow such graphics, much meow great entry

natrium729 2014-09-13 21:10

Really good game, especially the graphics and the music (the first one is really great). And the idea is really good. I study in physics, but I would have never thought of something like that!

egor-idiot 2014-09-15 12:13

What a greate adventure! I like everything! Cat is hillarious! Very nice small story. One of the best, definately.

greytram 2014-11-11 16:50

Excellent game! Cat rocks!
