super cute and easily replayable! love the concept and had a lot of fun playing! i agree that if you ever come back to the game, it would be cool to add a background track, but that's about all i could think of. great work!
heads up that the game doesn't seem to be working right now, both the embed (just the embed here, looks like the one on itch is ok) and exe :( exe is missing a .pck file it looks like, not sure what's happening with the embed as i don't know too much about how that works
anyways, this is a cute concept! i'm excited to see where you go with this when you have more time to expand on it. there's not much to do currently except find the chickens, but i was very excited when i found them :D i will say for the future, maybe highlight items that are able to be picked up? i wasn't really able to tell what i could and couldn't grab (i spent a while trying to pick up a chicken). nice work!
as others have said, great atmosphere! the audio really adds to it and makes everything feel more ominous. for next time, i might recommend having the player move a bit faster? either way, i had fun. nice job!
oh this is a lovely game! the art is absolutely stunning, and the gameplay of flipping back and forth while managing the rats was fun! the writing was great as well, i really enjoyed learning more about the characters and their relationships over the course of the game. i got karina's good ending (i assume) on my first run, and it was very sweet... i'm excited to check out remie's ending next :) great job!!
hey! just a heads up that whenever I try to run the exe, it throws an error :(
error text: "Couldn't load project data at path '.'. Is the .pck file missing?"
not sure if it's just my computer being funky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm glad you were able to get it working! it's a short and sweet game i can definitely relate to >.> i really like the hopeful ending as a reminder that things are going to get better! i was going to make a suggestion about the small text size, but it looks like you're already planning to change that, so no need :) you did a great job!!
Love the graphics!! The window size made reading the text a little difficult, but I got used to it after that. The bg music cut out during the second or third room and didn't come back on, which was a shame since I was enjoying it (not sure if that's just an issue with my computer tho). The gameplay is solid and makes for a fun dungeon crawler, nice work!
very chill and relaxing, i enjoyed it! i found that i liked watching my line of cats drift through space and seeing where they would end up a lot. i also really enjoyed that other cats are still be jumping through space as well, it was so cute watching them fly by. the music definitely helped the atmosphere too. nice job!!
super cute!! took me a minute to understand that the press had to be moved for each veggie (maybe because the instructions were partially cut off on my display) but after i got that i had a fun time :) nice work!
@cheesepencil thanks for reminding me of that! there should be a web build working on itch now, but if there are any issues please let me know :)
the character sprites were lovely, especially the forest spirits! it would've been fun to see grandpa meet his old friends again, but the game is right, all things must end. going back through all the dialogue when i made a wrong trade was a bit tedious, but otherwise i had a good time :) nice work!
