The puzzles were fun, and the pacing felt just right.

yaaaay, I escaped!

very cute and introduced new concepts at a reasonable pace.
maybe the music was a bit intense, and I got stuck on walls / ledges a lot.

Submitted

good game bro!

Submitted

art and music are both really strong points here, the ending theme especially

Submitted

Got stuck on the mouse level but lots of potential for a good puzzler

I agree w others, the jumping is pretty janky. (I say that, but my game's jumping is glitchy as heck xD)
I love the cute cat! Great animations on the cat! <3

Interesting concept and puzzle design! The controls felt a bit off when I jump and hit something and was stuck there for a moment.

Love the art and music of this! The 9 lives idea was great too!

Take a look at my game too if you dont mind.

Nice little game the mechanics are well introduced. I had fun playing it.

Submitted

So stressful after the first few levels! The music does a good job of that too !

Submitted

Great usage of known real world interactions to make the puzzles intuitive(mice running from the cat)! Art is definetely a strong point there, especially the main menu and the background, and I liked the music too. Also each puzzle was unique and mechanics were intoduced gradually which is a pig plus in my opinion. However movement felt off at times, for example if you hit a wall during a jump you immideately stop ascending and also checkpoints didn't work at times when trying to reset with R.

haha I was not expecting the retro rock soundtrack for this game. some interesting puzzles and I like the little cat animations.

Thank you for making the fun game!

I felt bad every time the water rushed in.

The art style looks great and I like how you have to attract the bat to break barriers.
