You say the physics are buggy, but it's actually pretty fun to long-jump and zip under tight platform gaps. I liked this!

Congrats on your third jam! It's kinda tricky to maneuver the cat around because it starts of slow then accelerates but still playable overall. The cat animation and the wall hop mechanic is a nice touch, keep it up!

I support more cat based platformers as its such a good idea that's barely been utilized. Keep practicing on making games. I think physics of this game, low acceleration with high top speed, could be really interesting combined with running up walls. It has potential.

I really loved the cat animation and the clean color scheme! The wall jumping felt really cat-like too. The main issue seems to be the initial sluggishness of movement and limiting the maximum speeds, because boy-howdy did that cat go fast sometimes. Cats are lazy beasts and they can be very purposefully slow , but if they decide they need to jump they don't need no time getting started, they pretty much are at max speed at once. At least that's what my cat currently sleeping in my lap would say. So a few tweaks to the speed curves and maybe making the cat moody so that it just sits down and cleans itself after having sprinted a while. That would be awesome.

Congratulations on getting to a playable state for the first time! :cat2:

Were you going for more of an Egypt theme? If so, pretty cool. I wasn't really sure if there was a goal though

Fun!

Thanks for the feedback everybody. Platformers aren't usually my thing, so I'm not sure if this is something I'm going to continue to work on, but it's been great seeing other people's reactions to it. Thanks again!
