I wasn't expecting too much, but found an amazing game, it's a bit hard to grasp the control here. The music is nice, very fitting within the esthetics of the game. Good job!

it took me a while to get the controls, but then had some great time! the audio was so nice

Took a bit to grasp the controls, I get what you were going for but it would be nice if there was at least a toggle to turn off flipped controls. But otherwise it's a cute and fun little platformer

Thanks for the feedback! I've pushed an update that hopefully improves the platforming experience.

The controls are also "normal" now, left goes left and right goes right.

I had a great time. Cool Idea, everything being upside down was neat!

So after the much needed update, I beat my score of 70. YAYYY! I love the camera effect when you go deeper. 🐈 I managed to slip away for 900 meters. Can you get further down the spiral? 🐈

This game is adorable! It definitely is giving me nostalgic mobile game vibes of my youth in the best way! The poor echoing meowww every time I failed is sure to haunt me in my dreams now. Amazing job across the board :3

Really creative and fun take on the theme!!! I struggled a bit with the platforms, but I'm not very good at platformers to begin with, so it might be a skill issue on my end hahaha

🐈 I managed to slip away for 820 meters.

Good game, quite addictive! I liked the visual style. On the very edge of the platform for some reason the jump didn't work.

A very pleasant game, both visually and musically, it’s a shame you didn’t get more ratings( Good luck to you!

Glad I gave it a few tries, cause the game definitely got very... weird as it went on. Why did my cat turn into a demon, lmao??? Game was very cute, liked the little details like the cat flipping when you jump and the hearts in the health meter pulsing. Gameplay was kinda basic and repetitive, feels like it needs something more to keep it interesting. But overall enjoyed this game and its weird vibe. Nice work!

I love the idea, and the game is pretty fun. Sadly I am super bad at platformers.

I got 1470. My game is actually very similiar to this one funnily enough. Even to the extent of the player character changing its look when you get further. I enjoyed the game but the only thing that bothered me was there being so many platforms where I constantly bumped my head to.

Cute cat, very difficult game :')

I tried and tried and tried but I never got all that far. I feel like I'm missing some really cool stuff, what with how the music was ramping up I expect the level itself introduces some new stuff along the way (already reading about some amazing-sounding things here in the comments!) too but I really struggled.

It seems like the randomisation is a little unfortunate sometimes. If you're randomising every individual platform, it might've been better to randomise them in chunks where you know each chunk is fair. Sometimes you'd get enemies early on, and sometimes not. Sometimes I felt I had to just walk through the spikes and take the hit to get to a part of the platform that was actually possible to reach another platform from, etc.

If the game doesn't have checkpoints I think it really needs them, or a pickup that allows you to keep going if you fall. I didn't feel like I needed the lives for obstacles a lot, it was just the falling that was really punishing.

Returning to that music ramping up tho, it was really good, and I wish I could've heard the full arrangement! The graphics are nice and the animation on the cat is cute. I really liked that you managed to get an intro cutscene in there as well!

Overall a cool game, but very tough!
