How does your game represent "Slick"?
Sphynx cats are oily, since they lack hair. This oil lets you make platforms slick with oil and cause your cats to launch into the air in this puzzle platformer! We hope the sliding feels slick.

Damn, I played this entry before and forgot to rate it :/
Overall, I think it’s a really cool idea with great execution! I love its aesthetics. I had no real issues with the mechanics or difficulty. The gameplay felt quite intuitive to me, and I really enjoyed it. I especially liked the puzzle aspects of the game.
Love the music and the look! Idea is pretty interesting too!
Challenging game !! Visuals are absolutely stunning !! Scratched my itch for a slippery cat game ^-^
Super interesting concept! The controls are kinda tough to work with especially when things get slippery, but the models are cool, the animations are nice, the limited color palette with the fun dithering effect created from the light sources are cool! The cats are definitely slick.
I suuuck at the controls, but this game is absolute oozing style. The aesthetics are bang on and love the music too :D and of course, Cat!
thanks for playing! happy to say i’m already working on a smoother controls version and can’t wait to share it
CAT GAME. Super adorable and lovely atmosphere, the colour palette + dithering really worked for it. The oil became a bit of a nuisance in trying to stand still to time jumps, but with a bit tighter controls it could be a very cool mechanic that you have to play around. Really good job on the music and concept, very much enjoyed :)
Fun but difficult! Looks and sounds great!
interesting concept, though i'm not sure i'd love to have my cat leaving oil stains everywhere. promising entry in the saga of rosemakesgames >:3
Controls are rough, but this is also what it's like to try to give a real cat commands, so I'm calling it a feature. Music is perfect. For sleeping and respawning, it was a bit much to have to traverse most of the level again, so I wonder if you could try to make it where sleep spots become respawn points, and the player gets to choose which cat to respawn to, defaulting to the most recent sleep spot (or they can choose to respawn at the beginning). The player could spend a life to set a respawn point, which I think is a fair trade. Might also open up some new and interesting ways to design levels. Either way, curious to see where you'll go with this!
Very difficult, very fun, and very slick. Beautiful art and music. Great job!
Nice aesthetics. The difficulty conversation has already been had. I really think this could have used more “cat lives” since I often game-overed before getting to utilize the actual slickness left by previous cats! Missed opportunity for 9 lives haha.
The music is awesome! reminds me a ton of older platformers w/ the brutal and slightly unforgiving controls.
Cat!
Very cool idea, but I'm finding it way too difficult :(
It took me a LONG time to get past just the first level, and I can't get very far on the second due to the limited number of cats. Having to jump around by holding the direction you want to move, space, and up, as well as down to slide at the right time, just feels way too fiddly to pull off properly. The text also scrolls way too quickly for me to read it in time
thanks for playing! your game has been on my radar and will check it out. and can’t wait to take everyone’s feedback into a future update
Some of the text scrolled too fast for my feeble brain to keep up with, a longer timer with some sort of "skip" option to skip that line of dialogue may be good. Super difficult, had to re-think how I use my cats, it would be nice if I could re-use sleeping cats. Some of the platforms had you sinking into them and the controls were really wild to control with how much 'slippiness' there was. Well made game otherwise, you just have to be a masochist to really enjoy it haha.
thanks for playing! will have a post jam version with these changes and more! can’t wait to play your game
This game was MEGA difficult but i tried and thats what counts right? lol This game really just created a new genre of jungle music with cat meows and i am so here for it. chill and on theme for the game! the art and color direction were also super unique! great game!
Strange and fascinating. I love the reduced color palette and dithering, I really like moving around the space.
The first oiled up souls-like I've played. Super interesting idea. I love the visuals and cats r pretty cool. Well done!!
Thats an interesting take on using oil in a game! So basically I oil up the level to solve a puzzle instead of slipping from it! That's creative and original. To top it all, the unique LCD like graphics is like cherry on the cake!! Great job with this game!
Do make sure to play and rate our game as well (it might take a minute for it to load)
Neat visuals and kitty.
