Vety cool game!
Got me thinking a bit! Reminds me of the old raft puzzles. :)
The cat sprites are so cute :sob:
Very cute, <3 kitties. Art style is a lot of fun. I hadn't played a memory puzzle in a long time. For future levels I would change the order up so its not always A->C->B->D-E.
@kaedalus You mean like the old riddle about the fox, the hen and bag of grain (or some variation) where you need to get them across a river, but the boat only seats two? That was actually the inspiration of this game. Meant to put that in the description, but forgot :\
at home we have 3 cats (or better they allow us to live in here lol)
so I can relate with this soo much and actually the three of them are a lot like if I had snowball, blackie and ginger <3
I think a lot of people would relate to this, but the puzzle element for me feels a bit too easy to just brute force your way through.
love the music and the lofi pixelart cats.
This was cute! What a fun puzzle!
I love the puzzle vibes here, and reminded me of a story with the wolf and sheep that need to be transferred across the river :) I wish we could revise the previous statements about the cats preferences when the third round rolls around ^^' As I expected each round to have different rules, I didn't think to keep in mind rules from previous ones :')

Yay! That was delightful. I love cats, the game looks cozy, and the music is sweet <3
P.S. Though, is congradulations a typo or some word play I am missing? >_>
@kanity Congradulations was a typo. I always forget it's not spelled with a D and my software has no spellcheck.
What I had been thinking of doing after the jam, was adding the rules are displayed on a sidebar, with the variations being added each level. Thanks for letting me know I definitely should focus on adding that.
Nice one getting this completed! The puzzles are fun, but could have been more challenging, or more of them, I had completed the game before I knew it! The pixel cats should have been matched with a pixel background, they look a little too jarring. The music is nice and chill. Great job, well done!
I love cats. I really do. All of them. Cats. CATS!!!
Thank you for this entry! I really enjoy it, can you add sound settings for me in later updates. And more interesting puzzles.
I liked the idea of the game. And a separate like for the cats)
I love puzzles! This makes you think before clicking and I love that xD And such a mood with the kitties having beef with one another depending on who they are. I love the art style of this, especially the cats!
@pacelin That's a good idea. My software does have sound toggle switches I figured out how to use in other games, so it should be easy to add it to this.
@jaxah Thanks. I did experiment with adding a pixilated effect to the background, but even small pixilation was just making the background look messy.
@isacb Glad you enjoyed the game. The cats are a CC0 asset in the engine I used you can get here: https://luizmelo.itch.io/pet-cat-pack
Nice game! Though I do agree with previous comments that the order of cat summonings needed to be shuffled, though I imagine you couldn't do much with only the 5 cats. One possible solution I could see would be to consider their moods on the other side as well, and make them unavailable to summon, based on who is and is not currently around (On the other side). That would certainly make it MORE like the old riddle, but I could see that trying to increase the scope in that manner could easily be a huge pain.
I like the idea of solving riddles, I would love to do some more difficult levels.
I love cats. I love puzzles.
This is a great game for me:D
Thanks!!
Very cute and cozy game! I really enjoyed it. Thou I guess a small cheating is possible, since player in not forced to close the Level instruction and can just summon cats while looking at message.

Overall, great entry!
Thanks for playing and pointing that out. I guess it's actually a happy accident that I did not end up deactivating the other buttons until the info window was closed, though. As someone else noted, it was hard to remember the requirements, especially since the old ones weren't restated in the next levels. I had liked the idea of adding a side bar with the cat's requirements, but I guess this was the next best thing for the jam version.
