First playthorugh I didn't quite get it, I think because I associate WASD too much with direction movement, so I thought W is up, A is left etc :)

Once I realized it just means color, it all fit nicely and it became super fun :D

Cool game. I had fun with this one, it is hard enough without the colours changing though.

Great game! When this game came up in the GDFT I had no idea what was going on. But the second time it popped up I glanced at the instructions and really enjoyed it. I loved the concept and how the cat is trying to knock you off. Really great idea and execution. Maybe the stamina could be closer to the mouse/player? Just because you're not really looking away from the mouse at all because you're constantly trying to find the next hold. Also, sometimes the placement of the rocks can be difficult to get the mouse to touch occasionally. This might be my favorite game of the jam! Awesome work!

Wow! This was one of my favorites, I took to it very quickly. Very cool! I wish I had some critique but I loved it too much, I was genuinely saying "wow!" and cracking up laughing on my first play through.

I saw zackavelli play it on stream but I didnt understand it then, but on my first try I got one hold away from the bell. Really cool idea to make the holds only work when corresponding color was pressed. Wow, amazing work!

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Your chaos keys game was the one that made me laugh the most : )

I'll be honest, it was too hard for me, and I didn't make it far because I'm just so slow. But I really like the idea - how on earth did you come up with a mouse climbing bouldering holds?! It's so absurd, I love it! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Was it mainly the changing colors or cat paws that made it too difficult? The mouse was R.Loo's idea and we thought of the cat paws later as a result.

It was the changing colors,that was just too fast for me :)

Fun concept with the mouse trying to escape the mouse.

At first I felt like the bouldering holds changing color was just a step to far in difficulty here, but after playing it a couple times I made it to the bell easy.

I also absolutely rang that bell a bunch with the mouse hand and my mouse hand ;).

Fun game!

Thanks! Glad you were able to get into it. We added the color changing after it started feeling too easy during play testing but I can definitely see how it can be overwhelming at first. I considered adding bonus points for repeated bell hits, but we replaced it with a time multiplier instead.
