This is lovely. The pixel art rocks and the use of the theme has wonderful pathos - poor cat left all alone...for 5 minutes. They're acting out the only way they know how! I was surprised the ghost power controls aren't explained in game cos the rest of the tutorial is great. Is there a way to open the doors to the other rooms cos I'm keen for more if there is more!

Thanks! We kinda forgot to add that in the UI and then the page was locked lol. There’re 2-3 things to knock over in each room to unlock the next doors, make sure to check the walls.

The cat is pretty cute and it's fun to go around and throwing objects down. The dogs seem to get stuck on furniture a lot - and sadly I got stuck pretty soon because the doors didnt open and I couldnt find anything else to smash (I made it out of the first room)

Developer

Yeah I’m pretty sure I know why the dogs are getting stuck but ran out of time while fixing other parts of the dog’s controller, maybe will come back to it after the jam. Thanks for checking it out though! Also make sure to check the walls if you havent already.
