Nice and challenging at times game.Pleasant to look at. My only problem is the vanish mechanic, more then often I would teleport my self back while trying to use this skill.

A fun little platformer, I love the Graphics and enemy design. Hiding does seem a bit aprubt, but you get used to it.

Good Job!

This game haves way more depth to it then you would expect in the first few moments you start playing. Music is great, graphics are cute and funny. Gameplay is fun. Top entry imo.

I agree with @roidz , very solid entry. Congrats! I had a good time playing it. The teleport mechanic is a little strange because you don't really know when you are supposed to use it.. Graphics very good and your palette I think really get you in the mood of the game. I'd love to play an extended version of this.

Really cute game, simple working mechanics and nice music, thank you for the game

I liked the graphics the best and the fact that I got to be a cat! The music was also catchy. Very polished game overall.

This was so cute! the gameplay was a little too slow for me but it was a clever concept overall. Great idea for the theme, well done!

Liked the screen title and graphs. Nice idea. But i got stuck really quick i think i fell somewhere i wasn't supposed to , making the level in the wrong order, couldn't finish the game.

Atmosphere of the game is really great. Cool sounds, amazing artstyle, very pleasing to play!

I had fun abusing the teleport mechanic. since it doesn't negate your velocity you can set the teleport at the top of your jump, then jump and immediately teleport, then set the teleport one jump height above where the last teleport was set and repeat to basically fly.

I found the game incredible sound was very good perfect fit in the game congratulations.

jesus-gonzalez 2019-05-05 00:02

@badram I do really like seeing people finding those exploits and trying the game more in-depth than usual, thanks for playing! I'll definitely going to play your game as well.

The description isn't wrong, this game is pretty to look and has smooth gameplay. I like the color pallet and the everything fits well together. Did get stuck the first time I'm expected to create a teleportation point as it wasn't too obvious about to go to a place where I could not return from unless I teleported but I see ya'll thought about it and put some spikes to kill myself and not get stuck. :up:

My only recommendation other than the list ya'll already made, is that the music is overpowers the sound effects. If there was an option to turn it down a little and I missed it, my bad. Otherwise, I wonder how this game would look like for mobile. Might be a fun mobile platformer.

Cute main character!! I would recommend learning about the Unity Tile grid will really push your environments to next level!

zanagi 2019-05-05 22:44

Cute game, relaxing bgm, solid level design. Overall a sound entry.

giezi 2019-05-06 11:48

Cute game! The controls are a bit awkward (z is kind of far from the rest, but I guess this depends on the keyboard).

jesus-gonzalez 2019-05-06 19:56

@saucygames Thanks for playing! The game was made with Unity tilemaps, just not in the traditional totally tile-based way. With more time I probably wouldn't made it this way, and would have used tiles directly for more of the environment. Check my timelapse: https://youtu.be/HU-O95CI7FU?t=315

Also: your games look and seem to feel great! I'll definitely play them.

garys 2019-05-06 22:26

Looks great, fun to play. I struggled a bit with the controls, sometimes hitting C when I meant to jump, teleporting me back half a screen or so, but other than that it's pretty solid.

aim 2019-05-07 05:13

Very cute and very fun. I like the floaty jumps of the cat. The teleport mechanic is also super novel. It can be used to extend puzzles in very diverse directions. For instance, I by mistake jumped off but before I did in the last second I hit C to set a teleport and then C again to save myself from falling to my death on the spikes below. Reminded me of prince of persia and rewinding time (and by extension, Braid). Great job, really enjoyed playing it.

I had a lot of fun on this game despite having to give up seeing the door at 250 which for me meant going back far back

mika-la-grand 2019-05-07 20:54

Nice game overall. Some points critique would be that teleport and hide both use the c key, which leads to some annoying circumstances. I also didn't understand how to use the map in the top right. At one point I think I went through the wrong gate (just after learning about the hide mechanic). I ended up where the red circle is on the picture, I must have gone back accidentally. So perhaps don't allow player to go back through gates.

Great looking game. Good job.

pleasent game, i love the graphics. It would fit the theme "your death is a currency" but i like the idea though. I'd like music was made by yourself (i thought it was until scoring your game).

Thank you for this little plateformer. GG!
