Ho wow I like the arts and the gameplay is really good :) nice of the theme, well polished, well done!

Enjoy with an herbal tea, in a warm, quiet place. Take time to find the solution. Maybe spice things up a bit... like with moving enemies or a timer for some cats.

Nice job!

I am pretty confused how the items create cats; most of them do not relate to cats at all. I think the idea is alright, but there feels to be much of a disconnect between the items and what we are summoning.

This is really cool! Charging the ingredients partially to limit their power is a great twist on the summoning recipe genre, and I found it quite intuitive. It is very rewarding to see a fine-tuned spell "unfold". The cat theme is a bit surprising, but why not!

Well done!

Very nice, reminds me of Potion Craft. I think I've summoned all of the cats, but I still don't know what some resources like rocks and sticks were for (?) If something was at stake, e.g. you had a limited number of total resources to get to all of the cats, this could actually be pretty addictive with forced restarts when you run out of materials (the game is short anyway, so no big deal imho).

Interesting! Not exactly my thing genre-wise, but it is an innovative approach to the theme, with fitting graphics and some nice and cozy music, and props for using Godot! It would be nice if there was a fast forward button, but I understand it'd kind of counter the whole vibe you're setting.

It took me a bit to figure out how this *works.* Makes me think a little of Doodle God with a twist that the combinations are geometric rather than "logical." Not sure if there's an end point, but I managed to get three requested cats.

@lisek-gagatek Thanks for the feedback! Some of the resources are there just because we wanted to have things for each of the roughly cardinal directions.

@pierogo Thanks for the info! We'll try to consider the speed things unfold at a bit more next time. Though I suppose it does feed into the cozy vibe doesn't it?

@ryusui You experienced the whole thing. We spent most of our time on making the mechanics and polishing some of the ways systems work rather then having a full endpoint. Thank you for playing!

Nicely done. An original idea that's been well implemented.

Really cute game, I thought it would get old super quickly but I kept playing because I wanted to get to the point I could one or two shot requests
