WASD or Arrows to move

Some buns cannot be reached, that's OK.

While joyful you alternate between hops and leaps.

(There is no victory screen, but there is a victory level)

Extremely cute game with some interesting puzzle mechanics.
I think movement probably should have been constrained to a grid at all times, that would help the player realize the patterns quicker and realise the game is about puzzling out a solution rather than just wandering around randomly.

I love it, the cats are very cute

Herding the cats is somewhat difficult. XD

Truly beautiful art style. The puzzle aspect of the game and the whole concept are interesting and well done. My only complaint will be movement of the cat. It is quite hard to make it move where you want to sometimes. Great job on the game!

Cute art style and music, overall pleasant vibe.

I think maybe this would work better on a grid based movement, some of the movements felt kind of janky at times, making it difficult to see where you would end up. Also, i might have missed something but i didn't see when we would go back to "walk mode" so it made it harder to plan my movements.

I loved the art style. However, the movement is weird when jumping, I was annoyed by that. I found the sound effects cute, but hearing the girl that much kinda freaked me out.

I liked the "mood swing" of the girl changing the gameplay and also being a core part of the puzzles (like when you have to jump and then get scared by the cat to get to the gate in time before it closes).

Overall a small experience that could be better if polished. Keep it up! :)

cute and rather moody. some nice level design.

Not quite sure, but I assume the level with the ton-of-buns is the victory one?

Amazing art, it's really cute and evocative! The music greatly emphasizes the character's mood and fits great. Like others said, this would work better on a grid. Nice job!

Thanks for all of the feedback!

@xparker Yep, that is the end of the game (and no need to collect them all).

It's a great concept and a very cute game. The art is beautiful and the sound design is good too. I think as others have said it is quite difficult with the movement and puzzles sometimes because the movement can be a bit unpredictable, but that said you did a great job! By the way, why is she so afraid of cats?! --- Ok I had got stuck before writing this comment. Just went back and tried again and completed it this time. Really clever mechanics, the mood swings, the herding cats, it's brilliant. I would be angry if a cat stole my Bao :D

Beat the game! Getting angry was a great surprise for me, and herding cats was an unexpected result. The control felt a bit floaty (I had to restart that level where you could fall down and get stuck several times) but otherwise had fun. Great job!

Nice little game! I like the concept a lot and the art was lovely, the music was a great fit (though I wasn't in love with the sound fx--especially the girl sound--mostly because they sounded like they weren't blended into the same space as the rest of the game). I do think it would have been improved by more clearly stating how the different moods affect the controls and what sorts of things may trigger changes, as it wasn't always obvious (the cat clearly made her afraid, but sometimes going from joyful to content wasn't clear). Still, very cool work, I enjoyed it!

Very cute game, the graphics and music are lovely.
However, the controls are a bit messy.
With a little more work, this game will be really enjoyable.
Great job !

A cute little puzzle platformer! The controls are a little bit too difficult for my taste, especially on mood changes, but I guess that was by design.

This is such a silly and cute game, I didn't expect to like it so much! The concept is fun, and it seems simple at first but then the levels show you all the tricky situations it can create. The graphics and music are adorable. One area I would improve is the controls and collisions, which are a bit unwieldy and can get you stuck often (even though you can restart, sometimes it's better to just give the player a way out). That is especially true on the victory level but... I didn't realize there was no bonus to finishing it, so that's a few minutes I'm not getting back! :laughing: You could also make sure the music doesn't restart when you retry or change levels (if it's the same mood state as the current one), and do some mixing so that the voices aren't louder than the rest. Great job!

@kyrio, thanks for the feedback!
Jumping and physics do have some weird interactions for sure. Congrats on finishing the game, and yea, no need to collect all of the buns on the final level. Not restarting the music is a good point as well.
