This concept is so cute, love the sound effects! The only issue I ran into was with the drill object. When I used it on level 3, it drilled 1 level too deep, making me not able to finish the level since the cats got stuck. Otherwise, great work!

cool concept but I reached a level where the cats just walked off the screen and died with no clear objective, otherwise its a fun game.

Not sure why I watched the final animation until the end.
I think the game is solid but I'm not sure about the theme. It definitely just feels like Lemmings.

I love the sounds the cat make when they hit a spring. Nice levels and tools. The game is good, but uncertain how 'summoning' it is.

I like the concept a lot. SFX were really good, enjoyed the cats bouncing off springs probably the most. A few things were annoying about the experience. The lighting in places made it difficult made it difficult to know what was going on. The drill was hard to predict how far it was going down. These sorts of issues would be fine, but the speed of the cats made it a pain to restart and wait for them to walk. I felt like I spent time waiting for additional cats to get through the level which didn't provide additional challenge or fun, just more waiting.

Fun little game, reminds me of playing Lemmings on my dad's old phone lol. It fits the theme well, and the ending was pretty funny. My one issue is that sometimes it feels like the tools have a mind of their own, especially the drill and the pickaxe. I had to restart the level where the pickaxe was introduced multiple times because it was only digging up 2 out of the 3 walls it needed to destroy, which didn't feel super great. Other than that small issue, it was pretty bug free.

@alex4101 Some puzzle require clever solutions :) If you get stuck you can still play the other levels through the level select in the main menu. Thanks for rating our game!

I love the concept and mechanic! The scraggly lookin cat looks really funny I wish there was a speed up button (maybe option to adjust timescale) once I got the solution cause I'm a bit impatient haha (especially when there's a lot of cats) Overall cute and interesting game! Well done!

Really nice game concept to develop further! First I didn't understand that the red (dangerous looking) thing was the portal out : ) Bouncing worked well and overall good mechanics.

It's cute, but I think we need an acceleration button. When you have already set up the platforms, you watch for a very long time how the cats reach the flag

Main idea of the game is awesome. You need to add speed to cats or ad time mods cuz wen i build a level, i spend more time on waiting than gameplay)

@ascenial thanks for the feedback! Was it perhaps a bigger level where you need to move the camera? You can do that by dragging your cursor with left mouse button

@sodagummy @aleksa-al @custodi Thanks for playing our game and giving it feedback! Time speed modifier is definitely a feature we would have liked to add if we had more time

I agree with many of the above comments about a fast forward button, but in some cases I also would have liked to be able to manually start the flow of cats, to get some time to prepare the path. Additionally, the darkness and very limited quantity of tools can really punish any slight mistake, making some levels quite tedious. However, the idea is still really funny :D

Hi! Loved the concept.
ALso, loved the sound of the flying cat. It's hilarious.

The idea is good, but I sometimes lose my patient as the cats are so slow lol, speed up the cats will be a good option!
Padlynn19 Apr 2024, 14:53
The game is really nice! i think it would have been better if there was an acceleration button, or maybe only one cat to manage so we don't have to wait the other cats. overall well done ! :D

While I was playing the game I figured that the one thing I was going to complain about was how slow the cats traversed the level, but then I beat the game and the ending made me die a slow death while screaming in pain and agony; and then: BOOM! MEMES!

What a rollercoaster of emotions, that ending... I am happy. You people get the maximum score in humor from me, but I don't want to see another slow cat in my entire life.

Good job and congratulations! You deserve it.

really cute game! i love how the cats gain a little helmet lamp when in the dark areas!

I enjoyed this game, but didn't finish it because it got tedious (as explained above). Another way to deal with this might be an option to finish the level once the required cats have been saved, instead of waiting for the rest to be saved or die. It wasn't clear what the windows logo looking pickups did, so I just skipped them. The lighting looked great, and the contrast of amazing lighting with dodgy pixel art was great. Good game!

Neat! The pickaxes were a little weird to use but otherwise solid enough. Cat sounds are always a plus
AntOnion24 Apr 2024, 14:33
Good puzzle concept! Interesting patterns of solving. I think that cats move too slowly and there are too many of them to be afraid of making a mistake. The game has the potential for further development!

Meoooooow!!

I want to save all of this cats. Music adds atmosphere and immersion.
Guys, this is a great job.
