Great style and sound. The objective of the game is a bit confusing.

Fun game. I noticed a small bug with the capacity display when I sold a lot of decombobulators.

I encountered this bug when running the game on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and using the Jar Launcher. I'm guessing there might be a better program to use. I haven't used Macs in a while.

Never mind. Apparently, OS X doesn't include JRE. Forgot to install that.
Excellent art and sound. This is the best interpretation of the theme for a platformer that I've seen so far.
Seems to be unrunnable on the web.
It needs an Ablock power up :)
Brilliant gameplay mechanic. This could be a full game. Would work well on phones.
Reminds me of the tutorial levels in Titanfall. I wish they'd make Mirror's Edge 2 already. Anyway, awesome game! I wish I could made 3D games during 48 hour game jams.
Great game! Makes me want to go play Noby Noby Boy or Hohokum.
Increasing the platform movement speed and modifying the spawning of the platforms some would help. Sometimes a higher platform will block the player from jumping, and the speed of the platforms makes the gameplay more slow paced than the average platformer.
@dadman, thanks for the feedback. I was going add sound which would have helped tie it to the theme a lot more, but I didn't have enough time. For example, all the talking from the man and woman would have sounded garbled at first, then as you connected with the man you would be able to distinguish your name and other words in the dialog.
@Paperblurt: Yeah, there are a few walls of text in there. I did have timed inserts in the story but didn't have enough time to make sure they were all timed correctly, so I removed them.
There will definitely be more animal games. I'm not a huge fan of cats, but I'm sure I'll make another game with a dog in it soon.
Thank you for the feedback, everyone! I'll work on it some more once I get my sleep back to normal and let you all know when I upload it.
Fun game. The difficulty might be a tad high but I'm pretty tired so maybe it's just me.
Excellent work. It's always refreshing when a game makes you laugh.
