I like graphics and mechanics. It is a platformer with a good mood and is fun to play. But I have one thing, I do not like: In my opinion, the hitbox of the cat for spikes could be a bit smaller. Just to make sure that I as a player really see, that I touched the spike. :)

A nice little platformer, with a pretty well designed level. I enjoyed the simple graphics. I did get confused in the very beginning when the second orb appeared almost off the screen behind me, and I ran off in the wrong direction for a while.

It was nice. Jumping sounds a bit like Darth Vader

I liked the humor in this one. Adding abilities by jumping to the box was a great idea. The platforming felt good and there were a solid amount of upgrades. I think some more frames in the animations would have gone a long way, but I can understand how time doesn't always allow. Good job!

THERE WAS NOTHING! THEN THERE WAS A CAT!!!

27 Deaths :D Really fun game, loved the boss battle in the end, platforming had a good difficulty curve... very well designed. Pressing control to attack felt a bit awkward and control+d is a shortcut to bookmark in chrome so that was a bit annoying.

Good Job! Keep it up!!!

I made it in 22 death. Really cool game ! The graphics are simple but work pretty well and the animations were a nice touch. The music is pretty nice and fitting too.

A few nitpicks : * The jump sound effect is really weird and kind of breaks the immersion. * Putting attack on control is a bit of a weird choice in my opininion (at least on my macbook pro's keyboard layout it wasn't very ergonomic). * Lastly the spike collisions could be a bit more forgiving I think.

I think the game could also use a bit more juice (I highly advise both these videos if you haven't watched them yet) https://youtu.be/Fy0aCDmgnxg https://youtu.be/AJdEqssNZ-U

The platforming is pretty solid and it was cool you had time to fit a boss battle in there. Good job !
