You never know what's going on inside the mind of a cat, but Naminé loves pillows so we imagine it looking something like this! This game is dedicated to her.

Gameplay: hit the pillows (with X) to rip them apart and if the room is filled up with 50 pillows it's game over.

We have been having so much fun making this, and even though we wish there was more time for polish we are proud to present: It's Raining Pillows.

Hope you enjoy and please let us know what score you got!

UPDATE: The walls are fixed now! Sorry for that //Malmevik

Nicely done! I love the art style - it looks sooo cute! The game gets challenging quite quickly and I managed to improve a lot after figuring out the jumping mechanic xD Good job on the jam! Also: super cute cat :heart_eyes: :smiley_cat:

Hey I went completely out of the screen from the right side, is that a bug?
Good game though.

Fantastic! Love the music and the graphics.... i also kind of want a cat now....

Also, for my game the text with the score and the number of pillows was a big high (it was like half way out of the "frame")

Solid entry! But as someone said, I fell off the screen on the right side as well. I don't think cats should be able to fall off the floor like that ;)

The game was fun to play, I myself got 418 ponts - would have more if I didn't fall off.

The graphics are really nice to look at, and that piano loop is probably going to haunt my dreams for the rest of the week.

Gameplay wise, there's not much unfortunately. I wish there would be a bit more than running around and pressing X in hopes that RNG gods will bless me with good pillow spawn. Maybe with some collectable abilities/charging abilities you would be able to use after destroying X pillows?

I really like the art style I think the game looks great.

The gameplay seems to work nicely but it was a bit too simple for my tastes.

I liked the music on the title screen but the gameplay music was too short of a loop it got repetitive very fast.

The game is beautifully drawn, but it lacks the gameplay. It's boring just to jump and spoil the pillows, you could add something like cat combos.

Well what can we say about "It's raining pillow". Clean, simple concept, and the art + gameplay are very fun & cute. Well the only thing, i think could be better is the menu music (sorry don't really like it). But really good job you two keep it up !

the art was great definitely the strongest point of the game

I loved the art. The gameplay on the other hand gets quite boring after some time.

Solid and polished entry, not very original and lack some deepness in the mechanics, but I enjoyed playing one game.

Kitty cuteness overload. Lovely graphics and audio. The gameplay could use some variation though. Overall, it's quite polished and a good entry. :thumbsup:

Very enjoyable little game, well polished, awesome graphics, loved the mood. Could use some post jam enhancements to become a nice mobile game: a bit more depth (multiple kinds of pillows? multiple hits pillows? mice pillows? "protect the milk saucer" from small pillows mode?) and a control scheme better suited for mobile (just tap to attack pillow?, or swipe to attack more than one pillow?, cat moves toward target if not in range).

Looking forward to more good stuff in future jams, will also play your games for previous jams.

Well, it seems I already played & rated your entry for LD41, so now I'm REALLY looking forward to your LD43 entry. No pressure! :-p

Took me a second to figure out what I had to do, I almost assumed I had to collect pillows to sleep on since that's all my cat ever ends up doing anyway lol

Cool and cute :) I see how the piling pillows prevent you to just slash what is just in front of you if you want a relly hugh score. Also, it's dumb to say but I REALLY liked the presence of a control, leaderboard and exit button
on the menu (certainly because of the polish feel it gives (speaking of which: cute art)). I also would suggest some kind of combo system (based on color maybe ?) it would give it a bit more punch :) Keep up the good work !

I loved the art style and the music! Also, this game seems like a new take on Tetris. Got really hard after a few minutes. Good job overall!
