Play as a young man entering his first home! Help him clean and organise his "limited space" while you go through his time in this house, gathering more furniture, pets, maybe even ...love?

This is a short cozy sliding-block style puzzle game, with story elements and story-led mechanics throughout. I hope you all enjoy playing it as much as I did making it!

The entire game was made by myself, including all graphics and audio/music :)

Awesome job! The vibe was just right. Loved battling against the cat while trying to beat the levels. Watching you make this was super cool :)

I loved it! Great fit for the theme. The progressing of levels worked really well to engage me in the story (especially the symmetry of the start and end.) I liked the cat mechanic, but having both the cat and the baby moving around was a lot. I couldn't help but wonder, why doesn't my partner take the cat and the baby to the park while I rearrange in peace?! XD

Love the art and music and overall a very strong entry! I didn't finish b/c it felt a little repetitive toward the end. But I think the whole thing was really well executed.

Wow! Love the idea of a sliding puzzle combined with the vibes of unpacked. The vibes were so good, I felt bad whenever I had to box in and trap the cat or baby to just move the rest of the furniture around lol. Also love how the sliding itself was implemented here, in a turn based style where you can see where the furniture will slide to next. I think the puzzle game mechanics weren't too innovative and got a little bit stale which led to the story and vibe really carrying the game, but design wise I think that was a good move to a degree, having comfortable puzzles with clearer solutions. Overall great job! Congrats!

I love this game! I don't often get hooked in finishing a game 100% but for this one I did and really loved it. It was easy at fist but it does get quite difficult and excruciatingly frustrating with that little baby in the way (we forgive the cat of course). One thing that could get the game even more fun could be something like an energy bar for the character so that you can't actually exceed X amounts of moves and have to try and optimise your moves. Or maybe setting a goal at the start of each level with something like "try to achieve this in under X moves!", just to add another level of challenge. But it's already super fun as is! And I loved the art, it's very very polished and professional with a cozy atmosphere. Amazing work!

Overall a really nice puzzle game. I especially liked the music and felt it was quite fitting for the game. The art style was nice to look at as well. I enjoyed getting past the challenge coming from the cat and the baby as well.

This game is so polish: no bug, cool animation and presentation, cozy music, clean pixel art. The difficulty ramps up nicely and the addition of new mechanics made me want to progress further. Great job!

Such a cool entry! It's very polished and there are lots of variety to the puzzles. I never felt this relaxed unpacking stuff 😄 I liked that you never rotate the pieces. Some other games does that and it makes the game incredibly more difficult.

I absolutely love this game! It's a complete package with fantastic artwork, music, and attention to detail. What sets it apart is the gradual unlocking of levels that tells a small story. Moving into a new home, meeting my cat, meeting my girlfriend, marrying her, having our child, and together, we run towards a brighter future.

the art looks great and the game seems really interesting from the screenshots. Wanted to try the game but had only windows build. Would love to have the linux build may in future game jams 🐧 😃

Nice little puzzle game. I couldn't play it in fullscreen though and was stuck with a tiny window. The cat and baby also got annoying but that's life, I guess.

The visuals and audio were fantastic! I liked the random (sometimes frustrating, just like real cats) challenge of working around the cat.

Nice job! Really nice and polished graphics and audio! Maybe not necessary, but a reset button could be useful to some players.

I adore this game. It was extremely well put together and I really appreciate the flavor text that goes along with the puzzles. I found the puzzles really satisfying to solve, especially when I was able to trap the cat 😈
