You are a narcoleptic cyber cat. But you have a jetpack, so that's ok. Learn to programm your jetpack and by doing so, do less effort. All these lights are so exhausting. Pick your floppy disks and get the hell outta here.

(We were a bit in a rush, so there is sound issues and some remaining bugs. There are few levels for now. We'll surely add some very hard ones in a post-jam version!)

I couldn't get past level one. I liked the neon intro graphics. I get the impression level 1 was a matter of getting up on top of the slant and rolling down without using energy - but I could not pull it off.

I really liked the 80's neon asthetic (did something similar with my game) Ran out of energy really easily though... tough game

I did passed some lvls, pretty hard game.

Ran too slow on my machine (Very cheap but new Acer laptop)

I really loved this one. It's kind of hard, but other than that, I love the graphics and the gameplay. Hope to see more!

qdowngames30 Apr 2013, 03:04

Really difficult, but I understood the concept. It could work!

ilovepixel30 Apr 2013, 03:16

I got stuck on level 2. Great concept.

SpitefulFox30 Apr 2013, 03:22

I couldn't even get past the first level. I'm not sure why the cat needs jetpack fuel to fall down a slope. Very nice aesthetics, though. Gameplay is at least nice and concise.

MemphisTen30 Apr 2013, 03:35

it looks very very good in the screenshot, but we couldnt make it past the entry screen :)

what are we supposed to press?

davidpeter30 Apr 2013, 03:54

Couldn't beat level two. :( I think you should have a sliver more jetpack fuel.

MaxSzlagor30 Apr 2013, 04:33

Interesting idea. I couldn't get the game to start for a while (suggest making the start click area larger and also accepting enter/space as input). I also kept getting caught on the edge of platforms and losing score. Didn't quite understand what the point of the floppy disk is. Interesting idea overall though - I like the idea of minimizing actions.

omfg, finally got through to the end. Awesome gfx. What a lazy cat :)

Wow! Thanks for your feedback! For those having difficulties not falling asleep, remember to avoid using keyboard keys as much as possible. And the more Floppy Disks you use in one sequence, the less your movement will cost you.

We'll be making tons of new levels this week and post the link in here!

Jarrett30 Apr 2013, 09:10

Haha, love the premise. Game was rather hard at first, moving manually. But once I got the disks and it became more a puzzle game, I quite liked it. Looking forward to more levels :)

s0ulcrusher30 Apr 2013, 11:57

Wow this is crushingly brutal for a game about sleepy cats :)

Dohan30 Apr 2013, 12:57

It's a fun premise but the special powers are hard to use. The 80s graphics and name are really cool. Keep it up!

noa30 Apr 2013, 13:10

I've finished, great job ^^

Mikel30 Apr 2013, 13:14

Liked the concept and cool graphics... Very dificult at first, one bad keypress and you lost... :-)

shines30 Apr 2013, 14:53

Interesting concept. I'd recommend adding an overlay on level two (or at least add to the description) stating how to use your floppy disk as it is not clear you have to click it to use it (especially when it's introduced as a keyboard game to begin)

AestheticGamer30 Apr 2013, 16:42

Managed to beat it. It seemed quite difficult at first, but the disk helped a lot. Graphically it was nice, but I felt it would of been better with some music and a bit more atmosphere (seemed like it could be a pretty funky-esque game with a lot of flavor if you had more time).

Sylvain.p30 Apr 2013, 16:57

The game is blocked on my computer. But the idea is good. (nice intro screen)

Misfit30 Apr 2013, 17:55

Retro 80's style works! But yeah, game is pretty hard.

SecondDimension30 Apr 2013, 21:29

Very difficult, wasn't really sure how to play but great idea.

Gremlin30 Apr 2013, 21:35

Hah. The puzzles definitely get trickier as you go up levels. The controls are a little fiddly for being so expensive to use, but after level 2 that doesn't matter so much.
