It was really annoying to wait for the input repeat to get fast rotation. Have it instantly rotate whenever you hold down one of the keys. Besides that, I really liked the idea of playing with relative velocity and angular velocity. Pretty fun if you can look past the input issues.

Perfect^)

tipyx 2015-12-15 16:56

The controls are a little tricky. For example, I advice you to move when the key arrow are down, not pressed :)

tomenluca 2015-12-15 16:56

I like the game a lot. It looks good and the gameplay is new and refreshing. I feel that the cube could rotate a bit faster however.

bmacintosh 2015-12-15 16:57

This is really innovative. A minor complaint is that the combination of the negative-ish sound and the red flash made it seem like bouncing on the walls was a bad thing initially.

spirit-2 2015-12-15 16:59

I liked the concept but there is a problem with the rotation. It is too slow ! Add more speed to the reaction if you want the player to feel free and skilled^^

teamdromedare 2015-12-15 17:06

I think it might've worked better if the input was a bit more responsive, cause it's a pretty fun concept. What I really enjoyed though was the music and the graphics of the game. It makes it feel a lot more polished.

Отличная работа! Графончик, и механика свежая! ;)

crucknuk 2015-12-15 17:22

I think the cube is too slow to rotate, but the concept is not bad and the AstroCat idea is very cool :) good job!

redzero 2015-12-15 17:27

Awesome game! You could add some difference between the yellow and red bombs.

drfallos 2015-12-16 14:56

Cute graphics, and nice idea! You did a really nice job =)

ittaimanero 2015-12-16 21:01

Love the idea and the design, specially the character. It's a bit hard to play if you have to wait so much to be able to rotate the box. But it's still pretty cool :)

ajopart 2015-12-16 21:17

Nice. Only remark is the latence between the input and the rotation of the box. But well done !

zguerrero 2015-12-16 21:22

The concept is very fun, but controls are to hard. add some smoothness to the controls and it will be perfect! ho and the music is cool!

psypol 2015-12-16 21:22

hmm could the rotation of the whole square be smoothen up ?
i think it reduces the pleasure of playing

pianoman373 2015-12-16 21:22

Super nice. Only problem is there's something wrong with the input. It takes too long to take effect.

mappel6 2015-12-16 21:41

Cats. Bombs. Space.

In theory, pretty good--but this still has a lot of bugs that keeps it from being fun to me. It fits the theme well, but I've seen this kinda gameplay before. It's nothing new. But it does throw a unique spin on it--the character is always moving, and you have to use the box to send it how you wanna go. So, once again--this can work well, with some work.

By the way. There's a glitch where the cat can randomly float through the box while it's turning, which instantly leads to Game Over. This should probably be fixed.

cmg 2015-12-16 21:44

Slow controls make it a bit too much work, but it's a fun concept!

pillbrain 2015-12-16 22:02

It reminds me of the sonic 1 bonus stages! It felt a little harsh to me to put bombs straight in your path from level start though, Id have either put them off your initial trajectory or at least let you press a key to begin. Most rounds I hit the first one and couldn't avoid it!

utgarda 2015-12-16 22:08

Nice music! I think I found a bug - I moved the square and the astrokitty went overboard without a portal, and then the game was over.

nidzakornjaca 2015-12-16 22:10

The concept is alright, but the input feels too rigid.

herzucco 2015-12-16 22:13

Reallu fun. A bit difficult to apprehend and the wait for the input is a bit frustrating. But still cool !

logon13 2015-12-16 22:19

Challenging game that is beautifully polished

publicidadeba 2015-12-16 22:29

One of my TOP10, I just wished the controls were a bit more lose. Great graphics, sound and mood.

lereveur 2015-12-16 22:42

Cat + space + food = fun :D

geckoo1337 2015-12-16 22:46

Good game with a pretty mood. However I think that there is a little problem with the controls. They don't react as well as I hoped when I pressed keys. I feel that the cube could rotate a bit faster however. Overall I like it ++

ludic 2015-12-16 23:46

beautiful graphics, buthave to keep pressing buttons instead of holding it is a bit boring

frostvoid 2015-12-16 23:47

Nice game, think the rotation controls could have been a tad more responsive though

dustoutgames 2015-12-17 00:05

This was a cute game, but the response time on the box rotation as well as the hit boxes on those bombs made it pretty difficult to win. Once you got used to it, it was easier, but the controls could maybe use some work. I did like the graphics, and the audio! It was a fun game to play!

leaghorn 2015-12-17 00:05

Controls seems off. Its very hard to rotate the room quick enough.

lullaby 2015-12-17 00:17

Nice graphics, but the game feels a little buggy. I often went througt the square, and lost myself in space.
But it was fun because I was a cat!

iamspencer 2015-12-17 01:52

wow, that was a fun little [and tough!] physics-puzzle game, I really enjoyed it!

art was very nice, sound was good, humor was funny, and overall I think this is a pretty solid entry, nice job :)

krafty 2015-12-17 02:00

It was very hard to control, but a good idea and I wish that the controls were better! The rotation should be fluid; it's hard to get things to work otherwise. It looks really nice though, keep working on it! :)

geoff10e 2015-12-17 04:27

Love the controls even though I suck at them. I'm sure it would be more fun if I could physics lol. Enjoy the feel and the music from the game.

astro-cat 2015-12-17 08:45

Thx a lot for feedback! On this jam we don't have enough time to make controls better, solution with slower square rotation save our game from more bugs.

pjimmy 2015-12-17 14:32

very creative concept, funny and cute, well done

delahee 2015-12-17 15:01

The control lack some smoothing but the game is enjoyable, Space is well rendered.

tribrain 2015-12-17 16:04

Cool game :) nice concept and easy to comprehend! Great job!

redmassacre 2015-12-17 17:06

very cute graphics and gameplay
music is positively energetic)
a litle bit more responsive controls- more inertia in cube rotation or speed up astrocat to keep this flow -
5 astrocats from 5 :)

elit3dgaming 2015-12-17 17:28

Fun game :D

akhera 2015-12-17 20:55

The concept is good, but the controls really need to be more responsive. Nice music.

pusty 2015-12-17 22:58

Really good! Had much fun playing this! Most likly the polished game I've seen yet

oz2mura 2015-12-18 11:15

Felt so cool beating level 4, woosh, woosh, MEOW!

Chill music, challenging gameplay, clean graphics. Good stuff.

jsmars 2015-12-19 00:04

Nice mechanic and well made game! Only annoyance was that keypress came from key "repeating"

dejvo 2015-12-19 09:03

really difficult to controll. therefore not fun at all. really 6 people worked on this??? i know i fucked up. but 6 people at the same time? i'm sorry

_benhumphries 2015-12-19 12:58

Cool game. I sometimes glitched through the sides of the square, and I found it annoying to spawn into a level and immediately crash into mine. Good job nonetheless!

kaiseangames 2015-12-19 17:16

Rotation should be a bit more responsive and a bit faster, but the concept is nice.

inbetweengames 2015-12-19 19:05

Interesting, polished entry.
I glitched couple of times through the corners of the square with the cat falling into infinity (thus dying).
Also the square rotation could be a little bit more responsive (i.e. faster movement, or without the lag after pressing a button).

xhunterko 2015-12-19 23:38

I really wanna like this more. But the sticky controls prevent me from doing so. Catchy sound track though! I just can't get into it.

thebrickanator 2015-12-20 02:39

Great game ;D

2015-12-20 13:00

nice one ^_^ :D

drauthius 2015-12-24 00:14

I had a strange problem where two background music tracks were playing at the same time, or maybe I just imagined stuff. Anyway, the (two) controls are a bit clunky. You have to hold the control down for a while for it to repeat, which detracts from the flow of the game and any quick reflexes to save the kitty from the bombs. Would have been nice if the kitty grew a bit when eating the food.

kowalski 2016-01-02 08:39

Nice concept and cute aesthetics. The game is a bit difficult to play though and I think I'd personally appreciate if the cube would rotate a little bit faster.

themadknights 2016-01-03 17:38

Maybe the square should go faster. Nevertheless I enjoyed the entry

sinclairstrange 2016-01-04 17:49

Only thing that was slightly annoying was having a bit of input lag while rotating, other than that it was a nice very clever simple idea. Very well done!

bunchasapsgames 2016-01-05 01:22

It's a cool idea, just a bit too frustrating to play with the speed of the cube and general unpredictability of the cat.
