Introduction

"Meow~Meow~Meowwwww!" (Be water, my friend, be the shapeless water!)
Faced with a small space and chased by his master, in order to get his own treasure, the kitten's solution is to turn itself into a formless "water"! No space is too small for the kitten, who can easily adapt to any space!

Phase 1

She can maneuver through narrow gaps in furniture, passing through any space, no matter how small, by transforming her body into "water". And when the master comes searching, she finds a place to hide that is out of her reach.

Phase 2

At the end of her journey, Kitten discovers the "treasure" she seeks, the "enemy" she needs to defeat, and how she is going to get through the layers of obstacles to accomplish this great journey? lol

Action

By stretching herself, the kitten was able to launch a fierce attack on her enemies from her hiding place without alerting the master! Maybe even get a few extras along the way!

Great game with great graphics!
I cannot get past the 4th obstacle... also QE and space don't work for me... (using wine on ubuntu)

I'm a simple man, I see cat, I click. The art definitely the best I've seen so far in this jam. I got it after a while, the control scheme is really weird. I think an in-game tutorial is necessary, unless figuring out the controls is supposed to be the game?

For those who got stuck and are reading this, you need to be holding up and either A/D, and then hold Q/E. Three key presses for an action. You also have to be holding A to press E, and holding D to press Q. I have to yet figure out what you're supposed to do in phase 2.

A game about cats being liquid, brilliant. Loved fitting into the weird spaces and shapes, though I'd love if it were a bit longer. The final part was a nice touch to add a bit of sillines!

Wonderful art and interpretation of the theme! Very cute :smile:
Music did get a bit repetitive, but that is nit picking

Super cute, fantastic art, creative gameplay too. I love cats. Keep making cat games.

Also I appreciated the tutorial the start, the controls made a lot of sense after that. Smart idea.

The idea is amazing! The artstyle is wonderful! Although i didnt understand how to finish the game (or it glitched since ive definitely collected all of fishes). And I think u couldve remove last couple of hints in the first part

Wow, this is a really great and unique way of looking at the theme. I enjoyed the concept a lot. Congratulations!

Nice idea, though the game is already very simple, would have preferred to try and figure out how to pass the obstacles without the solution being shown on the first part. Art is the star of the show, design and palette are flawless, congrats to your very talented artist :smiley_cat: . Interesting submission!

@devez thank you for your detail feedback, highly appreciated! We have received some feedback that it’s hard to remember the keys. But yeah! We can definitely do better on balancing!

Wow I loved the art and animations of the cat. It took me a little bit to get used to the controls but it was great fun. Loved the snake like mini game at the end as well. Overall it was a great time. Amazing entry :smile:

Super cute game, love the graphics and sliding through objects, would love more levels especially ones where you have to figure out the controls needed to pass through the same. Music choice was perfect to keep me playing for ever if I could.

great aesthetics. Minigame 1 felt a bit more fleshed out than Minigame 2.
