This is a great game! I love the art and the gameplay feels really good, well done!

jimmakesgames 2020-10-05 20:29

That was brilliant! I really love the pixel art. The platforming is tight and responsive. The music and atmosphere are great. Excellent work!

Hey! Thats a nice game! Really nice one. Good music, but not my style. Anyway - thanks for atmosphere! What a nice game expirience! 9 cats out 10 ten

this was fun! i liked the cute art style and the ambient music reminded me of OFF my only criticism is that maybe the spikes' colliders were a little too big, i found myself dying when only hitting the edge of them. normally platformers shrink their spikes' colliders a little, just to make it more fair overall i still liked this a lot.

Very epic! Kept my interest all the way through and I felt compelled to see the ending. Great atmosphere, I did not expect the game to be this spooky.

scidev 2020-10-05 20:34

Amazing game, I would continue playing but one part was too hard. I hope you win!

misterm 2020-10-05 20:49

Nice game, I like how the player moves and the difficult of the game.. The last part with the spikes was quite hard.. I think I tried 100 times but at the end I finish it.. I ate the fish..​ If you wanna try my game is https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/hamsterloop

You went really hard on levels haha I could finish it without too much problem but for some people would be so hard. Lovely art and for me, very good levels following the concept.

Wow, just wow. The cat's animations are so fluffy which is supported by his white-pink color scheme with the dot on the belly :smiley_cat: :heartpulse:. And all of that in contrast to the game's theme: horror :scream_cat: (This smiley has never had more fitting usage).

The music had a LOT of variation. that must took a while... but nothing compares to the animations in this game. :clap_tone1::clap_tone1::clap_tone1:

The cat: wow in general, plus the squash and stretch that is not in the pixel space is adding so much! The ghosts: so sad, so cute :ghost: The ghoul: !!! what !!! that caught me offguard in the game.

All in all, I would pay for a sequel.

Hi there ! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream (twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). My first reaction instantly was that this artwork is exceptional. Well picked out color palette ! Top notch. The controls are really nice and tight, the walljumping is satisfying. I will be playing more of this for sure !

2020-10-05 21:58

Really incredible game!! The art and music create a beautiful and fitting atmosphere- I especially love the colors used, so effective!! The gameplay feels smooth, but sometimes I struggled with the spike hitboxes. Other than that the game felt so polished for such a short time. Really inspiring!!

2020-10-05 22:24

really fun and well set mood!

watermelonandme 2020-10-05 22:38

Cat is sooo cute. Gameplay is great and audio also

2020-10-05 22:39

Hey this is an amazing game ! Really cute a beautiful art !

2020-10-05 22:52

Amazing cute art!!!

joellikespigs 2020-10-05 22:54

Wow! just straight up incredible - excellent art and solid platforming. I loved the tail animation on the cat and the ending was silly but solid.

Nice one - I can see this one doing very well

2020-10-05 22:56

That was a fun experience. I liked the odd looking guy haha!

2020-10-05 23:16

This was a great game. The graphics were outstanding, your animations are so fluid and have a lot of character, and all the pixel art is quite good. The controls were really tight, though the spikes and character felt a bit big; I would hit spikes when I thought I shouldn't have at times. The atmosphere was also immersive. I think that as due to the pairing of the dim lighting and spooky music, and also choosing to have no music at parts. My favorite part was right before you found the key. I was tricked by the endless fall and became confused. Though, it was a pleasant surprise when I figured it out. I love bits like that in games.

Well done!

gord10ahmet 2020-10-06 00:27

I loved this game in general. Graphics, mood are excellent. I couldn't manage passing a level with spikes, though, I'm going to wait for a walkthrough video to see what happens in the end of the game.

rockclaw 2020-10-06 00:30

Outstanding visual, sound, and gameplay design! The platforming is just right, and this game really shines for that. Well done!

lelulagames 2020-10-06 07:33

This was so well done. I love the fact that you don't punish people who miss a jump too hard. The only two things I found frustrating were that left and right wasn't W,A,S,D and the jump button wasn't space. Other than that everything was fantastic. Loved the music, and the story line. That.... thing... in the hall was creepy but not too creepy. Well done.

sakuh 2020-10-06 14:06

Beautiful and atmospheric game with a really nice spooky vibe. Great challenging platforming action with really tight controls. Loved it and played it until the end.

The only criticism I can think of, is that I really would have liked to see w, a, s, d support for the game. I had to play the game crosshanded.

5/5 game

jimmakesgames 2020-10-06 17:03

I've made a video where I try out a bunch of Ludum Dare games, including yours. If you'd like to check that out here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj-l261Esr0

A very good and polished entry! It incorporated the theme well, without letting it become annoying. The platforming reminded me a lot of the game Celeste, which I love. I have to say, the graphics, animations and audio is amazing. Together they create a very good atmosphere. The platforming became really hard all of a sudden, and after a million tries I had to give up, but I certainly played for 15 minutes or so! Compliments :) Ps. I kind of felt like the hitbox on the spikes was too large and they were too easy to hit. The ghosts also felt a bit useless as they didn't respawn after dying. Anyway, good job guys!

barelyevengames 2020-10-06 23:15

Wow! That was an absolute joy to play through. I was not expecting such a well made unsettling horror game from the cover and title of this game. I think the best part was that I wasn't expecting it though, so well done on you guys! I kept playing through a few levels after I finished the game wondering if there was more to it, but I didn't see any changes so I closed it up. Overall, fantastic job.

2020-10-07 21:09

Very cute! Ah. Kitty.

fockx 2020-10-07 21:12

Thank you all for all this kind comments, means a lot for us <3

anzy 2020-10-07 21:32

wow, this was impressive! really good looking, i love the music and sounds. i was afraid there would be a jumpscare after the monster appeared, but instead i was just dipped entirely in the suspense! great stuff! .. i gave up at the last platforming bit tho, it was too hard for me. i'm happy someone posted a video playthrough tho because that fish looks yummy. good good stuff guys!

sh80 2020-10-08 00:10

Gorgeous pixel graphics and very fitting music! The platforming difficulty ramped a bit too quickly and the hitboxes felt a bit too unforgiving, but the platforming felt tight. I wish the ending had had a bit more but I'm happy the cat got to eat. :)

honest-dan 2020-10-09 23:02

a nice entry! I wanted maybe a bit more of a finale, but still was a nice story. The spike hitbox could have been a little more generous, mostly for those wall jumps. Lovely atmosphere and art and story telling.

meskaline 2020-10-12 15:21

This is one of the best entries i've seen at LD. Awesome loop twists and story make this platformer much better than "just another platformer". Good job, love the Graphics also.

thegreenworm 2020-10-24 18:00

I find the difficulty a bit too hard towards the end, but I'm not a big platformer fan. Those walls with pike on top and bottom are evil. Still, love the sound and the art is cute and solid ! Really good for jam !

gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida 2020-10-24 21:54

Man, I am so angry because of your game! That was the best platform of Ludum Dare games I played, this is so good omg... Thank you for this experience!

joellikespigs 2020-10-28 13:47

I keep finding myself coming back to this

Do you folks have a twitter or other place you post about game development? I'd love to keep my eye on your work

fockx 2020-10-28 23:15

@joellikespigs hey thanks for feedback! our twitter: https://twitter.com/fxl_pvl

peace-of-cake-games 2020-10-30 04:08

Fantastic! I love the cat and the fish, makes me think of Happy the Cat. Aye! The wall jumping in the very last room was almost impossible because of the cat's rectangular collision, but I managed to clear it eventually. I love how getting hurt has almost no penalty! And I need to know what's up with the jumpscare monster in the pitch-black hallway!!! That really got me, I didn't expect a sudden jumpscare! I need to know more of the story.........

Too bad I'd never heard of your game until after the ratings period! I'll just rate now, 5/5 for everything.

@oaksguard that is so true! This game was basically made for that emoji.

if you play in a casino, try to play on https://4rabet.com/casino/slot/aviator aviator casino game The official website of 4rabet features the same design as the betting section. The information on the site is available in many languages.

I love platformers and cats, so I will definitely play your game. I really liked this concept with a cat, because here you can introduce several realistic mechanics that will be in the game in addition to platforming. For example, the article https://www.simplecatguide.com says that in addition to climbing and jumping, cats are very good hunters. They are good at camouflaging and catching prey. Based on this, you can add such simple mechanics to the game as: 1) disguise in specific places on the level, for example, so that the cat merges with the blocks in the background, 2) you can add mice to the game, for which the cat can hunt and replenish its health.
