Had great fun solving this one ! I love how the 2D assets integrates with the 3D level, reminds me of Ragnarok Online.

I realy like the art style animated on 2 frames. I ended it in 682 secs, but hell, my last item was boots and it was hard to find the last path ahah! Nice job, thanks for the experience.

Nice submission! The sacrificing mechanic works well, and it's interesting that you have to play the same level over and over again with fewer and fewer powers.

I don't know if there's supposed to be a "correct order" to sacrifice abilities in, but I ended up with just arrows at the end, and couldn't find a way to the exit until I phased through the corner of a wall (probably not intended solution).

Great job for two people in 72 hours.

What a lovely game you made! :) Very cute and fun. Congrats!

Tip use FixedUpdate not Update for the movement... I went through the walls Mow.PNG

On my first try I sacrificed my jumping habilities and then I thaught I had made a wrong choice. So I went for a second run were I explored more the labyrinth and I realized that they were many road not forcing me to use jump :D Nice level design ! I really love this cat's face.

discorde 2018-12-03 20:56

@ratrat44 It doesn't fix the 'going through walls' issue, we tried some things but ultimately we couldn't find a viable solution (in time) that didn't alter the gameplay too much :(

I like dogs better than cats, but this cat is super awesome!

gri-bel 2018-12-03 21:46

Nice Graphics)

kiisuk 2018-12-03 22:28

@jeremy-ryan there is always a solution, no matter which power you keep. And no it was not intended :grin:

@all Thank you for your feedback, you’re awesome.

Yo, this was adorable! Through a bit of routing and spamming the dash move, after my third playthrough i left with a speedrun time of 45 seconds. Great game!

When I first understood the idea for this game, it was really good. I would really have liked some music or some more ambient sounds in the game. But overall a good LD game. Well done.

@owlycode, I love how the 2D assets integrates with the 3D level too:)

ancalagon 2018-12-04 14:11

First of all, nice graphics overall, this makes your game very charming. Now, I think this is a very original concept and well developped. Even if there's a dead end if you only keep the arrow for the last run. Sadly, I think the gameplay was a little bit broken because I found myself clipping through walls very often. If it wasn't from that, I think the game is very nice overall by its concept !

Good job !

By the way, it was a nice way to create an ending scene !

dkmk100 2018-12-04 14:23

I really like the idea. I never would have thought of that. Also, it is so cute!!! Love it! If you didn't clip through walls and it was a bit easier to control, this game would be perfect!

2018-12-04 14:23

Cute cat and fun game! Though I lost in the maze. Really like the sound when cutting grass:)

izi 2018-12-04 15:08

Can I just say this... OH, YES!!!

kiisuk 2018-12-04 15:08

@ancalagon There is no dead end i can assure you :) But yes, we have lots of problems where players clips throught wall. We found a solution to fix that but it comes with a lots of other issues and really alter the game feel so we decided to let the wall problems ^^

ancalagon 2018-12-04 15:10

@kiisuk Oh well, I'm a noob then ^^

angelnm 2018-12-04 15:46

Very good game. When I had two or more items I just reached the fast as possible to the end, and at the end it was very challenging and funny: smile: I also love that art 2D/3D.

sabeurre 2018-12-04 16:38

Un jeu bien sympathique en tout cas. Au début j'avais pas vu qu'on pouvait tirer avec alt, mais franchement très sympa. Des effets visuels plutôt cools, comme le texte qui bouge pour le tuto. Un tuto initiatique qui est intégré dans la boucle de gameplay en plus, nan vraiment bien cool. Le design du chat m'a fait fondre. Je n'ai rencontré qu'un "bug". Lorsqu'on se déplace en collant un mur, on peut passer au dessus des "vides" sans tomber. Pratique lorsqu'on as sacrifié les bottes :smile: Mais vraiment, bien joué !

madbear-gang 2018-12-04 20:11

Nice game and it is also very funny!

thiago-andre-as 2018-12-04 23:04

Had a lot of fun solving this one! The art is beautiful and I love the cat's face :)

avax 2018-12-04 23:34

Super cool!

fre 2018-12-05 00:42

Yay, a cute animal game where you don't have to kill them!

I liked the game mechanics and how you figured out how to make all combinations of powers work. The intro is also nice and makes it easy to understand.

Next version could have fun kitty sound effects (running through grass, meowing...) to maximize cuteness :)

firebug 2018-12-06 01:03

The story tugs at my cat-loving heartstrings. What a cute concept! I really wanted to help this little kitty out, a great incentive to keep playing! The art is absolutely adorable as well. The previous players already mentioned my issues with clipping and controls.

Nice graphics and enjoyable gameplay. One of the few Ludum Dare 43 games that I completed until the end.

My two gripes are a lack of background music and no warnings before the pitfalls. Had to restart a few times because I didn't notice them or miscalculated how close I can stand.

The reset is very sudden too, perhaps you should leave some message to the player that the game has restarted.

bella 2018-12-17 21:23

The level design is nicely made! Even with one item there are many ways to advance if the player explores. I liked how you made the text and some objects animated to give them a more lively feel and also the graphics, especially the cat, are adorable.

What I've noticed is that sometimes when pressing the down key or down and left key, you are able to walk through walls. I've also managed to pass over lava by keeping as close as possible to the walls, altough I don't think you are supposed to get by the lava without boots?

discorde 2018-12-19 15:17

@Bella Thank you for playing ! And yes you should not be able to cross the lava without the boots, we have some physics and hitbox issues (going through walls is part of it) that we couldn't fix in time sadly !

kiisuk 2019-01-01 14:30

Thank you all for playing our game :) ! You're amazing
