The light with the cat is really nice, the map felt too big to explore all, enjoyed it anyway tho, cute game, i panic when a ghost stole my cat D:
Hiii, thankk you for playing and giving us your feedback!
We are glad you liked the map, and also I had the same reaction when I encountered the ghost for the first time when play testing. I'm happy it left a mark on you, haha ^^
Really pretty and polished game ! Really really great job, although i would have used a tuto lol
Heyy, thanks for playing and telling us your thoughts!
We totally agree, a tutorial would've been great but we didn't have much time left to make it.. :((
Ran into an immortality bug, no exactly sure what caused it though. I also didn't quite get the main lighting mechanic til the end because lit ground and unlit ground were hard to tell apart since I was playing in a bright room.
An intro sequence was a really nice touch. I felt rather weak but I'm not sure that's really an issue.
Good job!
Heyy, thanks for playing and feedback! ^^
Im glad you liked the opening cutscenes, had a lot of fun working on them! Yeah, I think there were too many enemies in some parts of the game, we didn't have time to tweak that, sorry :(
Games with cats are always a bit more special to me! Your game turned out really well , especially the short story at the beginning, it really helps draw the player in.
Hii, thanks for playing and feedback!
Im glad you enjoyed the cutscenes, I had a lot of fun doing them! We are also cat lovers, so we enjoyed adding the little guy.
I like cat. Cat very cute. Cat in game? I like game.
Very cool game and super cute art style. Loved to watch the cat just walk around 😄
Thank you for playing our game!
We like cat too :D
This game is very unique, I liked the cat being a torch hehe. I had one bug with the enemy wich is holding the cat. I mean the bug happened because of him I guess. But im not saying that its a bad thing after all I had two cats (: One thing I can say is that there could be more feedback for the player. Well done mate, good job
Hii, thank your for playing and telling us your thoughts! ^^
Yeah, there is a funny bug with the floaty thing when a certain animation plays, but we didn't have time to fix it.
I agree, some visual feedback would've been great.
Well done!
Cute way of making the loop!
I really like your art style! :D
Glad you enjoyed our game and also the idea :D
Cute kitty :3 The art and atmosphere is really good. There’s a lot that could use some more clarity, like what the pillars were actually doing to the crystals, and I wasn’t even really sure whether I finished the game haha.
Hii, thanks for playing and for the feedback! ^^
Yeah, we agree, some visual feedback would've made it clearer, unfortunately we wanted to do too many things in such little time.
I liked the idea, but I must confess I couldn't beat it, I played for several minutes and I couldn't find all the points, and I got a glitch that turned me immortal. Well, good game, after all, but I'd recommend a way to clear the path, I mean, the torches don't light anything, it's only markers on the map.
But you made a good game, I liked the mechanics with the cat, I liked the visuals and the idea itself, but I'd wish to see something in the map lol
I like the idea, too bad the loop require connection to it's start. I wanted to see how it ends but it bugged on me i cant pick up stuff. Also is it possible to see two cats simultaniously? Is it a bug or is it some trick from floating towel guy?
Haha, yes the animation of the floaty thing has the cat sprite in it, but sometimes the animation doesn't switch properly after it drops the cat!
We knew this issue but didn't have enough time to fix it!
Thanks for playing! ^^
Oh, so it is other way around then... I abandoned the real cat, thinking it was a mimic, and went chasing the fake one lol
Really charming! My little piece of feedback would be to make the loop more tactile, give some kind of visual feedback to the player when it creates the lit area. But for the constraints of the jam, this is a great execution of an interesting idea!
Hii, thankk youu for playing and telling us your experience!
Yeah totally, there are a lot of things to be improved, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Cute little game, feels adorable from the get-go with the wizard and the kitty sidekick. Some mew sound effects would've made it even cuter. Anyway, creative concept and a good delivery for the short jam span. Good Job
Hii, thank you for your feedback!
Yess, great idea! We would've totally added a meow sound!
Really fun idea of a wizard and his cat and the arwork/music are really cool. The core mechanic didnt quite work for me the time Ive played but its interesting and i think has potential. Overall good game!
Hii, thank you for playing and for the feedback!
We are sorry to hear that :((
Love this art! A creative idea to use a cat as a guide :D. I like it
Intro is cinema 👌
Thank you for playing !
Im glad you enjoyed the intro ^^
Love the art, especially the cat (it's so cute!!!!!!),and the idea is really creative. Few tweaks like making the loops more forgiving (have to loop really precisely or it doesn't work) and maybe giving the cat iframes when it is pulled back (i often finished a loop and the cat got pulled back automatically into spikes 😭). 2 bugs I encountered were that the player didn't die when health hit zero and that when the cat died it would sometimes slide continuously in a direction. Overall a very unique concept and fun game!
Hii, thank you for playing and your feedback!
Yeah, we kinda forgot about the death screen... Oopsie. About the cat sliding, we too encountered the problem, but not that often? And didn't have much time to look into it.
About the loops, we agree, some tweaking should've been done!
Thank you for your time! ^^
Really like the combo of wizard and cat, haha :D
I think you already have some next steps for level clarity and polish, I think I can see the direction this is going, and I think it's a solid core mechanic.
Thank youu for playing and leaving us some feedback!
Yeah we have the vision, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time for this idea to fully come to life like we would ve wanted to! ^^
No worries, I'm in the same loop!
pretty nice and soulful game! now i want a glowing cat too =) have a nice day
good-looking and good-hearing artworks and music.
Haha, yes, a glowing fur ball would be funny and cute! Imagine when it gets the zoomies.
Thanks for playing! ^^
Interesting concept. I found it a bit difficult to use the keyboard and the mouse for controls at the same time, so I was running around blind for most of it. Didn't work out too well for me :) Still had fun even if I didn't manage to get the portal open again.
Hii, thank you for the feedback!
Yeah, a clearer tutorial maybe would've helped with getting used to the controls.. sorry that's on us!
Thanks for playing! ^^
Cool idea, especially controlling the cat and the wizard seperately, made for some very interesting gameplay.
Unfortunately the main mechanic of lighting up areas by looping didn't really work for me, so the game was really dark and it was hard to get the wizard to attack anything.
Other than that, the art was really cute and I was really impressed by the opening cutscenes! Really nice submission ^^
Heyy, thanks for playing our game and taking your time to tell us your thoughts!
We wanted it to be a little brighter but didn't have the time to tweak it! Also, I'm glad you liked the cutscenes, I had a lot if fun making those!!
