Can't pass the wall .. and the cat doesn't fall in the hole. Like the graphics!

good job.

@mdotedot I've figured it out after some tries, you have to fall in the pit of the left (tricky, as the scrolling does not go back once you've progressed), there seems to be an orange button but it did not work for me too.

Cute idea, fortunately cats can survive more than 10 seconds in real life ^^

I hope you will get well soon! It is a bit difficult to rate this entry because as you said you could not finish it. I still had fun following the level, even though it was sometimes hard to follow the track and there are some blind jumps. Maybe add some hints in the description like "avoid the cucumbers" so other players understand it quicker.

Cute arts and nice music. Pleasant to play. As @OadT said, the level design is a bit tough for the player. It reminds me of old school 8 bit games in that regard. Very funny to fall deep in cucumbers. :D I wish you had been able to finish it.

I had no idea what I was doing and still had a good time. It makes me wonder if when we were feeding, etc our tamagochis as children, if they weren't in there going on crazy adventures!

Nice work getting the entry done! Fun graphics and concept. I did get stuck on the first wall without being able to walk backwards. I had fun though.

I love your design of combining the cat's needs with finding items.We do have a similar theme! :grin: BTW I always wanted a black cat as yours, haha

wizcas 2022-10-04 07:53

BTW, have you coded in GDScript? I used Godot with C# but it doesn't work on HTML export.

Great cat simulator, when he want to sleep, he sleeps in the air :smile: I really like the idea for the theme and the music and graphics. It could be better with some polish but, still a cool game

@wizcas thanks for the comment! Love that we had the same idea :p My cat is really like this haha! Yes I coded the game in GDScript, because it's in fact HTML exportable! If you know Python you could get used to GDScript easily

@boodbarbak Thanks for your comments! :) Really appreciate it, I'm kind of disappointed I couldn't be with the team and couldn't finish the game, but I'll do better next time :fingers_crossed:

Nice visuals! I can see the idea but as you was sick it couldn´t be implemented. Some polish in controls is needed, specially in jumping (too slow) and falling (too fast).

I´d like to see more of that tamagochi-like platformer!!

masterofcheese 2022-10-09 03:12

Sorry to hear you got sick! It's a cool idea, and it's a bummer you couldn't finish :(. I liked the music btw!

solah 2022-10-09 08:12

I wanna play!

10 seconds later

I wanna sleep

Mmmmh yeah that's a cat

I think your game lacks of feedbacks (sounds mainly) and your level design is sometimes weird, we have to jump off platforms without seeing where we will land.

Aside from that, that's a cool platformer, well done

Game has nice music, some funny jokes, and a cat! I think sometimes it got a little tricky when I had to take a big leap. I like the mix between a pet simulator and platformer!

vykri 2022-10-15 21:13

Hey, thanks for making the game! I played through it and recorded my thoughts.

Solid concept, nice music, nice graphics but brought down by rough platforming physics
