Höpelö the frenzy cat is always a bit hungry. It gets totally crazy if you don’t feed it. Every 10 seconds cat will get more hungry-angry and lose control bit by bit.

Beware of it’s insane moves if it don’t get chicken legs. Collect the magic star to get to another level.

Nice visuals but you could make obstacles that can harm you little more noticeable. Good job!

Great platformer, really creative twist on the "timer" interpretation of the theme where you don't just fail but go into a *frenzy* (super funny with the cat being hangry) :D The backgrounds and level geometry is beautiful, and the cat as well! Like some other commenters I had difficulty telling where the spikes were, maybe some brighter line inside like with the big spikes could have helped. Also couldn't find a way to quit without pressing alt+F4, might want to support using escape. The base music is chill as well and has a good contrast to the frenzy music!

I really like the character controller enough that I wanted to do a bit of speedrunning, managed to get 37.2s (glitchless) and 20.5s (double jump glitch\*) :D All in all I had a great time!

\* If you hit jump twice really fast you get two jumps worth of speed.
