Artwork is so great, I wonder why you didn't put the preview banner here. So, about game - each stage is a kind of psychdelic puzzle and I solved them all =) Nice work!

I like the many ways to interact with the cats, is a difficult game but I enjoyed it.

Hard to understand at first but pretty cool overall

I can't believe my own cat would betray me. well, actually...

I love the humor, and the artwork is pretty cute too! I think the player and obstacles move a bit oo fast in the first section, but it definitely got better. The bit with the anvil should havea visual indication that the cat will no longer drop it on you. Everything else was perfect! Great work.

This is the biggest sleeper in the entire jam. Great art, great music, great story. F* you evil chainsaw cats (I didn't know about the whole clicking mechanic. Should have read there)

It seems like this game might require a screen larger than the one I have in order to be able to see everything. I get to what I think might be a cat with an anvil (I can't completely tell because it's cut off from the top of the screen) and avoid it as far as I can, but it completely removes my ability to move when I align with it, and I just have to watch while I die. It seems like it would be a good experience if I could figure out how to make it through, but I couldn't figure out what was trapping me in place.

I like the graphics, but sometimes LMB doesn't work in game and its really short. Overall Nice Job!

At some point the cat bombs should not be exploding anymore and bursting my ear drums. The Old man wanting to see his kitty for the last time was a touching story and I felt for the old man instantly. Most of the sections are unintuitive, maybe a little cursor icon indicating where to LMB press at the start would help clarify the feature. The Cat paw section i solved by virtue of running and gunning and hope to pass. Good Submission.

Good game, I pretty liked the end :laughing:

Maybe there is a lack of return when shot a cat (I mean, I was stuck on the big cat until I read in the description that only some specific point are usefull)

It would be awesome with some more animations !
