Controls:
[WASD] and [Space]
[Escape] to pause

:cat: :rocket:
The space kitten has to escape.
Find your ship.
There are 5 levels to play but we did not have much time to add more gameplay variation.

Known Bugs:
- When interacting with the wall movement can be weird
- sometimes text does not render properly (still the same bug since LD53, could not solve it yet :smile_cat: )
- level geometry disappears when entering the rocket ( I've tried to debug but no idea what the issue is, but it is not game breaking)

Really cute sprites. I didn't get any audio on Safari but had a listen to the music on GitHub. Nice job :)

Very good, I like the animations, good attention to detail, with the tail waving. Graphics are the strong point. Fits the theme well, I would say it's a basic platformer so not very innovative. Gameplay is fine, first thought the jumps would be frustrating but I think it's balanced in terms of difficulty. Well done.

A cute little jumping platformer! I just played 4 levels, nothing new was introduced in them so I assume the gameplay stays the same and I had no indication that further levels would present a victory or whether it perhaps just keeps generating new levels.

Cute art, clear movement poses, and a pleasant soundtrack - though the soundtrack did get a littl4e samey after a while.

I had kinda hoped that there was a key to drop down faster, to add some further control/decision making/time saving agency to the game.

But all in all I enjoyed what I played!

Nice game, and it's written in Java! I liked gradually increasing difficulty

The movement is very fast at first, but then I got used to it by jumping first and then putting it to the side. I managed to reach the end. A good example of a complete and fun jam game, simple but well executed.
