Awsome mood, nice graphics and audio! Cute cat also!

This is really cool! I love the simple soundtrack it fits so well. The pixel art also looks amazing and great story, well done!

niclee 2022-04-04 22:03

Awesome vibes, and everything was super smooth. Great Job!

moasip 2022-04-04 22:03

Very clever and interesting idea. The art work and sound tie together perfectly. I really enjoyed playing this game. I also stuck around to watch the credits because they were well done.

It was hilarious, and a generally fun time! A spelling mistake here or there, but nothing too bad. Great game!

2022-04-04 22:05

it was a fun game ^^ and you're right who doesn't like cat in a game xD? This cat was particularly cute :3

forgin-bits 2022-04-04 22:05

Awesome idea! The story was original and I could tell that a lot of care has been put into the audio. It was fun to navigate each time through an improved level; I had a hard time with the commands for the cat though.

Holy moly guacamole, this was such a good experience! The only downside is the fact it's short, but as a jam game- it's perfect! :)

ordineu 2022-04-04 22:11

Pretty cute cat. Short and sweet. I lol'd at the dancing dude in the credits. Great work!

kurrik 2022-04-04 22:45

Wow! I really loved how this elevated a simple platformer concept and made it really engaging and fun to get through. Fantastic work on the art, sound and writing!

glove 2022-04-05 01:24

WOW! I was expecting to play some rushed video games, not an artistic masterpiece! Fantastic work all around. Easily 5 stars!

pennycook 2022-04-05 02:24

Brilliant stuff -- I laughed out loud multiple times. :rofl:

henrik-ganard 2022-04-05 08:46

Liked the graphics and animation. Great game. Thanks for making it.

xparker 2022-04-05 11:19

- Awesome credits - cats - spelling mistake in scene 2 :wink: "maintain" (at the devs table where the door was in scene 1) - more cats - THE SOCKS

love it :heart:

This was really really good.

I would've loved if Anthony was always in the foreground sitting on his pc. Great font in the intro btw

daveco 2022-04-05 13:37

As a fellow Dave, this was very relatable. Really like story driven changes to gameplay!

dan-livings 2022-04-05 14:01

I really enjoyed the sense of humour and the meta nature of the framing narrative. Had a couple of minor issues, like where the cat would fall off the thin poles when it felt like it shouldn't, and a minor visual issue where a row of pixels from the background were visible underneath one of the sets of spikes. Other than that, nice work.

I hope your programmer friend feels better soon! I loved the cat design!

notnasiul 2022-04-05 15:22

Lovely take on the theme! :D Such a happy cat animation. I feel bad for Dave, but not that much ;D

squerf 2022-04-05 15:28

I love the story. I really hope you go on and add _lots more_ to this in the future - there's definite potential for something with a longer experience :thumbsup:

str8griz 2022-04-05 19:38

Great story and totally relatable in a funny way! That will teach Dave for getting COVID lol.

Thanks for the experience!

roryh 2022-04-06 12:29

love it! lots of fun little twists. great art, sound, and writing!

clever take on the theme to deliver an upbeat game. a breath of fresh air after so many games which play out an impending doom!

niklas-zhaga 2022-04-06 12:34

We like cats in the games! :smile_cat: Nailed it! So hilarious and funny, one moment I thought I'm stuck, but then I tried another way, and Anthony said "HAHA IQ 200" and I instantly fell from chair with laughing :joy_cat:

jorbits 2022-04-06 15:28

You are right, everyone likes cats in games! The game was really fun, well done!

fifut 2022-04-06 20:18

I can feel Spain in your music!

The story is funny but reflects reality :smile:

bdiaztobarra 2022-04-06 20:32

We Know a a Little of French too, we Can translate It @fifut! :P but we Are sorry music will still sound Spanish hahaha

arya-s 2022-04-07 16:05

The jump feels a bit floaty hue hue hue...

I really liked this game, short and sweet. I especially like the way you interluded the story with the gameplay in Dave's game.

The animation is also top notch.

If there's one thing I had to criticize it's that the font is not really matching the pixelstyle, minor!

Good job!

spladug 2022-04-07 17:28

I liked the square, but then I loved the cat. This was really cute. The art, story, and music were great. Nice work!

ftl-sloth 2022-04-08 00:44

Great game. Loved all the art, and the presentation of the game within the game was very well done. Great sound design as well. Love the cat!

boaromayox 2022-04-09 07:07

The animation for the player character is one of the most fluid (and a bit cute) I've seen so far! The audio (both music and sound) is also top-notch! I was wondering if you could make an OST downloadable? That's how brilliant the music is. Story-wise, I liked how it meshed really well with the gameplay, and I chuckled a bit at the situational humor here.

A few critiques I have of this game are that it's too short, and that the term "delaying the inevitable" didn't need to be said clearly. Poor Dave, though... :pensive:

In all, this one's a massively strong contender! Congratulations! :thumbsup:

supersonic 2022-04-09 11:03

it was so funny to play, concept, art and audio great, well done guys and get well soon Alberto!

ocwal 2022-04-09 12:21

Definitely 5/5 humor. Such a nice little entry. I enjoyed it a lot. Feel better soon Alberto!

jandourek 2022-04-09 23:40

This has such a nice mood! The graphics, writing and music are all great! It has lots of character! You even put a lot of effort into the credits! I defintely wouldn't mind a longer story in this style. :)

earlybard 2022-04-10 08:13

Really cool! Great idea, story, art, music, you name it. I just wish there was more so you could have expanded on the gameplay!

convg 2022-04-20 12:00

Haha really cool idea. Unfortunately, I don't really have anything to say about the game except that I enjoyed it :P

thecritterscove 2022-04-21 19:20

Such a funny little game! And of course the cat makes it so much better. The graphics and music are really good too. Nice job!
