As someone who frequently refers to their manager as a "manager cat" the theme here is awesome! I love it :)

Sound effects are hilarious as well.

I'm blocked really fast because I cannot jump from roof to roof :(

@black-potion The level can be completed, you might get stuck if you don't drop down below some platforms using down arrow + Z, try that :)

Also, try jumping on some window seals or brick walls which may not be immediately apparent as platforms

I also had issues with a really wide jump, might be missing something. A better distinction between foreground and background objects would probably help. I would also say that the game is a bit too slow, feels a bit like walking through mud. All in all it's a good game, love the art and the audio is great!

Excellent graphics, and pretty spot-on humor, with a pretty decent interpretation of the theme to boot!

Couldn't really figure out how the attack/parry system was supposed to work, so I wound up just trying to parkour my way out of fights, to decent success. Still pretty smooth & polished overall, though - nicely done!

Graphics and music look cool, but I can't complete level one:)
