I liked the graphics and the idea. Sounds got a bit repetitive and I was getting impatient waiting for the block to move after meowing. Good entry overall!
Wow i love the artwork of it... The kitten is so cute... cool meow animation :D I thought I have to order the block in a mirrored order.... so i failed... but now I KNOW WHAT TO DO :D
Why is the cat going to die :.( Why not let it fall asleep?
nice looking game. but the animation of block moving could be a little faster (when you want push the same block several times, it's long) And limited the number of "push/meow" available make the game more challenging...
I enjoyed playing this, and the cat is so darn cute. I found a bug where if you keep trying to push one block against the other, it will move into the other one.
Also the meow sound does get a bit repetitive after a while... maybe there could be a few different meows? :D
Cute stuff!

The meow did get repetitive but I still played it to completion! Very fun and cool use of the theme :)
Really cute puzzle game! I just love that cat's animations and sound. Great graphics and music, all around a very polished game.
The main issue is that there's no difficulty to speak of, apart from trying not to get fooled by the mirroring. As a result it feels very repetitive. Only the last level is slightly harder, but even then, you only have to plan 2 or 3 moves at a time. I also wished you could play a bit faster.
But props to you for trying to make a puzzle game. I think it's really hard to come up with good level design, on top of developing the game, in 48 hours.
Good idea and nicely polished. Make the blocks move faster, it's annoying to wait for so long for just a few simple moves. You can call the game "copycat", haha.
In their tongue it's Meowahkiin. Cute-cat-born! Meow! To be honest, I couldn't resist to shout 'Fus-ro-dah!', when the cat moved the blocks with the power of its 'meow' :D
Be mindful of the colorblind, you already have patterns on the blocks so you could use that as an extra distinguishing factor. I think you could have done a better job of explaining the "weirdest thing" in your world. The thing with why the cat was dying was baffling and didn't really seem to fit the gameplay, so I think you could have spent more time on that. The art was lovely but the sound needed variety. I thought the base puzzle was interesting but the slowness of moving the blocks didn't really add to the experience, and often grew tedious. It just seemed like a bit of a mismatch in intent as to WHY the interaction was super slow. Nice work for the compo, though!
Very nice job with the art, and I liked the fundamental concept. The sound effects/music could be better if there was a lot more variation, but I thought the pacing of the difficulty was well done. I would have liked more creativity in the level design, maybe having different room sizes, different movement mechanics, etc.

(Or maybe they are in the game and I just didn't play long enough to see).

@xgeovanni there are none. But thank you.
@psychomonster He dies to bring balance back to the chaotic universe
@matthias_zarzecki THANKS!
