i couldn't your game :( maybe you have a link to itch.io?

tay-elenberg 2026-04-21 21:04

I'm waiting for the link, pls!

kintsugi 2026-04-22 00:19

pls give us a link!

2026-04-22 10:05

I'm very interested in your game description. It would be a pity if I can't play it. Could you give me an itch link

ternarycat 2026-04-22 13:42

so, i'm waiting link too :). now i see just 404 in the top of this page

rizbleu 2026-04-22 14:02

Your export is not working, and you didn't provide any link to try it

awp 2026-04-22 14:09

Same issue as the posters above

2026-04-22 15:02

Very interesting art style

kkkyia 2026-04-24 14:33

Sorry for waiting! I've met some trouble making it as a link TwT. Now I have renewed the link with my game, maybe try it now ;D Appreciate for waiting me!@gamayun-games @tay-elenberg @kintsugi @hmeo @ternarycat @rizbleu @awp

The game is cute, and the sun effect is cool.

Platforms that are at the bottom are poorly visible due to the particles in front of them.

lllarso 2026-04-24 15:46

Controls felt good. It is nice, that you can control the height of the jump. The change of scenery is also a nice touch. For my personal taste the running could be much faster or you could increase the speed after finishing a level.

On the moon level I had some bugs, where my cat just "died" or just spawned from the sky.

I think you changed the gravitiy on the moon level, didn't you? Good idea.

The cat sprite is very cute. Congrats for finishing your first complete game. :)

Very pretty and cute game! I really enjoyed the scenes and slightly different mechanics in each level. The amount of lives and respawns changing each level was a bit confusing for me at first. I also noticed some of the emoticon characters in the intro maybe didn’t render correctly for me. Overall, the game was very fun!

kkkyia 2026-04-25 12:13

@shernik Thanks for playing and your comment!;D Thanks for mentioning the issue of poor visibility! I also found it a bit hard to see the platforms, but have no time to try other ways TvT. I'll try other methods next time to avoid this problem.😊

kkkyia 2026-04-25 12:30

@lllarso Thanks for the detailed review!!I'm especially happy that you played all the way to the end—that means a lot to me.😆 Actually, the three cats all have slightly different jumping abilities (most noticeable on the moon). I'm glad you noticed that!^v^ As for the bug: in the last two levels, the cats have 1/2 extra lives. When they hit something, they just "fall from the sky" instead of dying. Sorry about the confusion — I haven't finished the story part yet, so that part wasn't mentioned clear at all!;b

kkkyia 2026-04-25 12:42

@malorym Thanks for playing and your comment!🤩 The rules(lives as well as respawns) should have been clarified within the plot, but due to my poor skills and time management it hasn't been done yet. Sorry for that! And thanks for mentioning the emoticon characters, it was ok in my godot engine but got messed up in the browser as garbled text. I may need a little more time to fix that issue.🤔

ternarycat 2026-04-25 15:57

Thanks! Moon level is really hard :)

coro-yy 2026-04-26 11:27

Cute artstyle and nice lighting for your very first project. Wasn't sure why I kept dying on the moon, so that was a bit frustrating. Audio would've been nice, at least a tiny bit here and there. I'm not quite sure how this game fits the Signal theme though.

irkar 2026-04-26 11:44

So cute, lovely graphics great job photo_2026-04-26_14-44-06.jpg

lenny-rudeberg 2026-04-27 07:35

Very cute game, I really liked the back story of becoming a PostCat. Good job for your first LDJam gam. GG!

kkkyia 2026-05-02 14:11

@ternarycat Thank you for your playing! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

kkkyia 2026-05-02 14:20

@coro-yy Thank you very much for your playing and comment! Sorry for causing your bad experience on the moon, I didn't make it easy to discover the trap in this rating version. Due to a lot of feedback we received, I’ve slightly revised the representation of the “moon crater” to make it align more closely with standard interpretations.

In addition, the “signal” mechanic was originally intended to appear within the narrative, but it was not fully implemented in the version submitted for grading (it has now been completed!:D).

kkkyia 2026-05-02 14:21

@irkar Thanks for playing! I'm glad to see that you've collected so much fish! Meowlly would be happy too(I think)🐱

kkkyia 2026-05-02 14:23

@lenny-rudeberg Thank you very much for it! Same GG for you!;D

mibi88 2026-05-03 13:48

Nice little game. The graphics are very fancy.

kkkyia 2026-05-03 13:58

@mibi88 Thank you for that!:D

alexhonor 2026-05-03 15:09

Tried to launch the game, but it's broken for me. I use Opera, in case it helps. image_2026-05-03_160855759.png

okkolobr 2026-05-03 15:16

Meow meow meow meowwwww. But I can't figure out why I'm losing on the moon !

kkkyia 2026-05-04 13:59

@alexhonor Thanks for the report! I haven’t run into this issue myself, and most players seem able to load the game fine. (○´・д・)ノ

I also checked with ChatGPT, and it’s likely not a problem with the game files but could be related to browser settings or network issues on your side.

Could you try opening it in another browser (like Chrome), using incognito mode, or disabling any ad blockers? Let me know if it still doesn’t work!o( ̄▽ ̄)d

kkkyia 2026-05-04 14:11

@okkolobr Thank you for your playing meow😸! I'm glad to see you reached the moon! 👏👏👏

As for the issue where you keep failing: if you’re playing the “rating version,” that’s on me😿—I didn’t make the trap (the moon crater) easy enough to spot in that version. If you’re playing the latest version, it might be caused by the randomly flying rocks (or space debris?) going off-screen and then colliding with the player upon respawn. That’s also a design flaw on my part, and I’m really sorry about that! 😿I’ll work on improving this in the future to provide a better player experience.😼

Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback—it really helps a lot! 🐱

shaggy 2026-05-04 17:00

Cute game, great entry! I like that it was not just a platformer but that you played around with different levels and gravity! 😺

brawnyfrogmouth 2026-05-04 17:12

Very cute, I liked the lighting effects and the art style! It's a simple and fun one-button runner. The special characters in the emoticons didn't render properly on my device :( but I made it to the end with ~50 fish!

2026-05-04 17:13

Not working at first in the embeded from this website but the link does work. Efficient take on a classic autoscroll plateformer, the collectibles are a nice touch to make the game fun. nice one ! Congrats on the upload for this jam

justking144 2026-05-04 17:14

Game was a bit buggy throughout (my cat randomly jumped to the top of the screen, died, and just froze upon reaching the flag on the moon), but it was still a fun experience and I liked your art style

chuchugeralt 2026-05-04 17:43

Really nice game, especially for your first entry! As others already mentioned, the visibility of the platforms could be improved a bit. Also, I noticed that when you die, the fish don’t reset, so you can just keep collecting them! Aside from that, the cats were super cute. Great job!

kkkyia 2026-05-07 06:26

@shaggy Thank you for playing!🐱

kkkyia 2026-05-07 06:35

@brawnyfrogmouth Thanks for playing!😸 Emoticons not displaying properly seems to be a common issue on web pages TT In the end, I could only remove them.

kkkyia 2026-05-07 07:06

@kiyan Thank you for your playing and congrats!🐱

kkkyia 2026-05-07 07:09

@justking144 Thanks for playing! As for the bug: in the last two levels, the cats have 1/2 extra lives. When they hit something, they just “fall from the sky” instead of dying. Sorry about the confusion, because I didn't mention it clear in the rating version. 😿

Also, this version doesn’t have an ending screen implemented, so when you reach the flag on the moon, you’ve actually already beaten the game! Congratulations! And thank you so much for your comment!

kkkyia 2026-05-07 07:21

@chuchugeralt Thank you for playing and commentting! Due to a lot of feedback we received, I’ve slightly revised the representation of the “moon crater” to make it align more closely with standard interpretations in the full version.

As for the fish, I think cats would never give up a fish treat once they’ve got it, so I designed the collection system around that idea haha. Anyway, thank you very much for your valuable suggestions!😽
