Wow :open_mouth: the graphics looks good. I like the look of 3D 2D combo. Camera FOV might be litter better. You could try to upload it on itch as the file size is big. GDrive does not give good download speeds sometimes and it also fails sometimes. Yes the cat supposed to have 9 lives :stuck_out_tongue: . Jump is little laggy is it triggering after a I release the button? As I can move in z axis (towards screen and towards me) some locations feels like i should be able to move closer to me to avoid obstacles. Needed some attack impact sound also the attack animation is not clear. Not getting the feeling the I am doing combat. This 2D 3D getting little confusing later gameplay wise.

Немного удивился, увидев 1Gb в загрузках, но у анрила все проекты весят тонну. Прикольная графика, музыка тоже подобрана атмосферная. Из недоработок: прыжок с задержкой; не совсем понятно, когда меня атакуют, а когда я. Но в целом это не помешало мне пройти игру.

simontzky 2024-04-16 07:51

When I saw cat I knew 1.2GB are going to be wort downloading! Pretty cool! I like the graphics that combines 2D and 3D. Whole moood is pretty cozy. The only thing is that jump input doesn't seem snappy and attack animation is not really visible that much. But overall nice one!

anaastaska 2024-04-16 07:57

@ninjacatz спасибо большое за фидбэк, да размер игры вышел большим, мы постараемся как то решить это и загрузить игру на itch. С прыжком действительно есть небольшая задержка, я рада, что она не помешала пройти игру!

@simontzky thanks a lot for you review, i think, that we will change a bit this jump after gameJam. I am very happy, that you like the game.

anaastaska 2024-04-16 08:01

@human Thank you for feedback, yes, jumping needs to be change a bit, but I hope it doesn’t disturb you from the game. Also we will try to solve size issue of the game and download it to the itch.

Really charming game! I hope you continue developing it, keeping the mood and artstyle and iterating on assets quality (such as character animations etc). Tweaking texture sizes and excluding unused assets should help with build size, in my practice such a game in Unreal can occupy several hundreds megabites total. But it can be comfortably done after the jam, as for now - I think it is great job!

malte-hedenstrom 2024-04-16 20:41

Nice little cozy adventure, very fun, wonder how it will end. The build being over 1 GB felt a bit steep to download though, I guess that's a shame of Unreal, but still

ziggy 2024-04-17 09:23

Nice visuals and interesting story. But the poor rats :(

zablas 2024-04-17 09:25

I like the style that you combined 2D and 3D. Not a lot of games do that nowadays. The summon ability was fun and the combat was challenging!

kaesterin 2024-04-17 12:17

Very fun and cute game! The graphics are nice, the atmosphere of the game is appealing. Great job! It will be cool to see the project on itch.io!

derllie 2024-04-17 12:19

omg it looks so cool, you did a great job!

2024-04-17 13:47

Well it has cats in it. Nuff said!

anaastaska 2024-04-17 15:49

@derllie thank you! @kaesterin thanks so much<3 We will upload it on itch! @zablas thanks, we apreciate it!:)

anaastaska 2024-04-17 15:51

@tnnv thanks, we want to continue working on this game. We are happy, that you like the game!<3

A beautiful cat is a beautiful game

konstantinreed 2024-04-18 06:38

Very pleasant artwork, the cat is magnificent. It was worth going through the quest to download the huge build. I'd like to see more polished combat in the future. Хорошая работа, ребята

n3k0k33p3r 2024-04-19 22:28

Looks good, yet animations should be polished. Cat's attack is really not obvious. I like art, but its a bit strange that dog is drown in a different style. Anyway, wish you luck with your game! Great job!

salanyel 2024-04-19 23:52

I like the art mix between the 2D Sprit that rotate like papers and the 3D elements. It gives a nice vibe. To push it further, maybe more feedbacks to be given to the player.

Nice work!

someone 2024-04-20 01:40

Nice chill atmosphere and a fun little story. The 2D art was nice, though The attack animations could do with stronger poses.

master-yeet 2024-04-20 14:07

Really beautiful looking game, I loved the story and the little quests we had to do. Looking forward for you guys to continue it! Some things that could be improved though are the attack animations and also I'm not a big fan of slowly flipping the sprite when turning around, it breaks the immersion to see the thin side of the sprite, could we just flip them instantly instead?

momokomoloko 2024-04-20 17:20

Очень интересное сочетание 2д и 3д графики! Это и привлекло мое внимание к игре. Игры с котиками всегда выигрышные, а вкупе с такой атмосферой и темой вообще вау вау!! Крутая работа, ребят !!

busisen 2024-04-21 10:18

Visually stunning, even the thumbnail alone got me hyped to play. Love the style blend with 2d and 3d. I'm really puzzled how you two managed to build all of these systems and graphics in such a short amount of time. Really impressed with this submission, great job :)

rowdy3 2024-04-21 10:25

Very beautiful game and the soundtrack sets the mood nicely. I really like playing a cat knight! One small bug: One of the logs got stuck and couldn't be move until touched by another log.

yule4ka 2024-04-21 20:55

soooo beautiful

neontropics 2024-04-21 22:21

Great vibe in this game! It controls well and is fun to go around and attack mice.

I do think you should maybe opt out of being rated in Graphics as per the rules at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules since you've used bought assets - even though you've created some of the very nice looking characters it's still using third party assets in the game and it's a bit tough to rate the original stuff in isolation.

anaastaska 2024-04-21 22:49

@neontropics thanks a lot for feedback! Yeah, i understand you and i thought what to do about graphics in opt out or not, but as far as all characters and their animations, vfx, some shaders and all widgets was created by us and also levels with lightning was done(built) by us where we use modular parts of assets, I decided that I wrote information that 3D models was bought, but other graphics was done by us and I wanted people to rate it too.

neontropics 2024-04-22 03:50

@anaastaska cool, that makes sense!

hadik 2024-04-22 11:30

Creative and immersive, the game blends 2D and 3D art beautifully, creating a unique visual experience. The gameplay mechanics need some refinement, especially the attack animations and control responsiveness. Promising project with potential for further development.

lancejz 2024-04-22 19:20

OMG so much fun, and wow, so much done in three days! Holy cow! How did you build all those assets? Also the mix of 2D/3D nice.

anaastaska 2024-04-23 09:24

@lancejz thank you!! 3D models in the backgroung are from pack, vfx was done in Niagara, Materials also was done in Unreal(we have enough experience to do it fast enough). A lot of time I spent to draw all characters and their animations(as I draw frame to frame in Procteate, and it was my first experience with 2d animations). Icons and widgets I also create in Procreate. And our super talanted programmer did his job very fast, because he has a lot of motivation and enough experience with unreal:)

rentem 2024-04-24 15:43

Neat game! The graphics and sound are beautiful, and the controls handle well. One small improvement I would enjoy is if pressing the spacebar for the first time would complete the text instead of skipping it.

However, I noticed that when jumping, the cat's mask is removed briefly, which feels a bit off to me.

The zip I got from itch is only 900mb and fails to extract.

anaastaska 2024-04-24 18:04

@rentem Thanks a lot for feedback, we want to improve the game, so it is important to us to hear all feedback. I will check file on itch, thanks!

wolfier 2024-04-25 04:29

I think its largely just me but I've never been a fan of mixing art styles for the same project. Like the big cat and the small cat look strangely different from each other. I also think that the attack animation needs some more oomph to it compared to the other animations, the arm isn't moving enough.

katanajellyfish 2024-04-29 19:34

Nice visuals, immersive and interesting, like the gameplay.
