I think it's cool actually. The artwork could use some work obviously, but the concept is cool, and the level design is great. Some of the features need some work - the jump speed was a little slow for me, and the gravity was low, so it was very floaty, but I have no other complaints really. Cool game.
The game was cute, and the riddles were complex enough to make the experience challenging! The cats were just a little bit slow, so if you miss a timing it gets a little bit long for them to get back to where we want! Good job overall !
The puzzles and the level design were great! And well, the game runs perfectly. I hadn't thought about it before reading the comment above, but idk, I'm fine with jump speed. I feel like you set a clear goal and made a fine job, congrats!
Nice game! Maybe too slow. But the puzzles were interesting to solve. I also liked the cats art and sound. And the controls and responsiveness were great.
Gameplay is soo awesome and smart! I really love this game! Little bit work on graphics and it will be awesome pice of art!:D
Eh
Nice level design, lovely graphics and audio <3 Movement is a bit slow and the jumping feels floaty, but overall a really fun game :)
I played it to the end even tho' I am a dog person :D If that doesn't say enough about the game I don't know what would. :)
Cute game. I thought the main character was a priest based on his outfit! Maybe he is, in a way? Enjoyed the puzzles and the cat-mechanics. Nice work.
Cool. :) The sound effects are really cute. :D
Beginning cut scene took a bit too long. Graphics need some work, the jump felt weird. I love the sound effects. The puzzle gameplay is really intresting but the cats take too long to walk around to where I want and it is hard to figure out what I need to do. I couldn't get past the second level.
Also the slowing down of the character is really annoying, I know you were trying to relate to the theme but slowing the character is not the right way, I suggest doing something that makes the gameplay experience more hectic/fastpace/harder not something that makes it slower and boring.
Overall a good entry!
Nice game. Had some troubles in level 2 though. Took me some time to understand what the switches are doing on the left. I thought at first that I have to somehow make the jump. Maybe it would have been good to have an additional sound cue for the moving platforms. Besides that I had fun solving the puzzles.
Nice! I've finished the game and I did find the puzzles very interesting! Well done!
Because everything's better with cats!... Or not? :D
Really lovely game! I especially liked the ending when the swarm of cats appeared. Also, the cat sounds were quite entertaining. Good job! :)
Thank you all for your feedback :)
@shito Did you play on 4:3 display or something? Because the platforms should be visible (on 16:9) when you step on the switches. But you are right, sound cues for platforms (and for much more) were planned, they just did not make it in time :)
Fun take on the more cats you have! Game works well, puzzles were fun and engaging. Love the mews from the cats! Great take on the theme.
Really nice game, looks good and the sfx were really great! :)
Great work on this! The central gameplay mechanic works really well and fits the theme perfectly. This is a really charming and gentle puzzle game, and that's a lot of fun to see pop up on LD. Excellent job!
You got some clever and original puzzles there, with the moving cats triggering switches and moving through small spaces. The game feels polished, with considerable attention to detail. Would like to see more puzzles!
The cat sounds are hilarious! Very nice puzzle game. I managed to complete all 5 levels, and the payoff was very satisfying.
I really like the cat theme (my game was also cat themed). It has some really nice puzzle aspects. In particular, i like using the cats to do things for you since that isn't initially obvious and takes a little thinking. It fits the theme really well. The only reall improvement would be the graphics, although they're cute too and some more levels. nice work :)
This is a truly amazing game. Thank you so much for making it. It is my definite favourite so far.
I really like how you didn't need a tutorial, since the player just learns as they go along.
The only thing I would change would be to change the keyboard bindings. It is a bit weird to have to use A, D, up, and down. I would've made the controls WASD or up/left/down/right, whichever the user preferred (e.g. both up and W would pick up a cat).
Overall an awesome game :).
