How does the game fit the theme?
Everyone knows cats have nine lives, but not only that... They're practically invincible!
This short story follows Mimi, our cat hero with all nine lives intact. Why? You may ask. Because for a cat living in a perfectly safe and guarded house, nothing can go wrong. But what if she's tired of her perfect world? What if she's dying to go to kitty heaven, a paradise for cats where excitement knows no bounds?
Help her find a way to spend all nine lives... Nine lives too many.

I love the animations, nice work! You could fix detection of E key, because you have to spam it when jumping. Nice game!!!
A really cute little cat. But man do i have to kill it in 9 different ways. However I couldn't find on. Will be trying it again when i get time. A Great game overall. Keep up the great work!
Really cute, nice work!
I loved the game, 5 stars!
cute cat, was sad I had to kill it 9 times i.i poor mimi, but i couldn't find the last 2, what was I supposed to do?
Thank you! There is one that is a bit obscure, might add a hint in the future.
Cute and fun story about live of the home cat. Art and sound are blended together nicely, creating really cozy and sad atmosphere simultaneously. I enjoyed simple platformer mechanics, and it was interesting to explore house to find one more new way to die. Overall, nice entry and nice take on jam theme!
Thank you! That was what we were going for.
Very fun to play!
Thanks!!
This is so engaging! I couldn't stop playing until I figured out all the possible ways.
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, nice to know you managed to find them all, one of them is not easy.
Slightly morbid but very fun game! The concept is very unique and interesting, the different deaths are very well designed and thought out. The art was very well made, the artist did a great job! Overall a really well made game, good job!
Thank you so much :)
That poor kitty! Felt guilty laughing at some of the deaths. Cute graphics, nice sound, great gameplay. Excellent work -- well done!
Thanks :)
Absolutely perfect, gameplay, visuals and audio were amazing, cat animations were sick! Great job!
Thank you!
This was such an interesting game idea and while mortifying, it was really fun to play. The movement was a bit sensitive so I found the platformer to be a bit difficult because of that. Otherwise, this was a really cool game to play and amazing work!
Thanks, we will work on improving the platforming in the future.
Cute game with a very cohesive and consistent art style (a serious kudos to the artist). A little grim given we have two kitties at home, but honestly hysterically accurate. I think you really nailed the vibe you were going for, great work!
Thank you so much, it's actually the first time my partner has ever drawned for a game, so it's nice to know you found it to be good!
I know I am more of a dogs person, but this was amazing! haha I love that we had a similar idea and we implemented it in such a way. Thanks for sharing and I had an amazing time playing the cat version basically lol
Hahaha, thanks for playing!
Poor lil guy. The animation was so cute!
Thanks!
I haven't found all of them yet, but some of the causes of death so far are pretty funny.
Nice to know you liked them :)
This is one of the best games I've played in this game jam. You should be really proud of the work you did on this one! The art, the music, the gameplay, it all just works so well. Nice job on this!
Wow, thanks!
love it! I only figured out 7 ways to kill the cat before i looked for help- i got stuck on the vents. I think adding some more sound effects could make it even better! My favorite part is the graphics and animations(the books and bowling ball falling looked especially cool)
Thank you!!
Great game!! !It was a lot of fun finding all the possible ways I could commit suicide...
The gameplay was great, maybe the platforming part was a little bit hard : adding a little bit of coyote jump would have helped (or you know, skill issue I guess...).
The music was great and did not feel too repetitive. I would have loved some SFX when interacting with the world.
Finally, as written by others already, the ventilation entrance was really hard to guess without any hint.
A great entry, congrats!
Thank you for your feedback! SFX, coyote time and a hint for the ventilation one are things we will add in the future.
Great art, nice music and well though out gameplay! Great job! The ventilation one sure could have had some more obvious hint though...
True, I may add some hint to that in the future. Thanks!
Great game! I liked the puzzle solving. I got stumped on the bathroom part for a while though.
Thanks!
