Nini is stuck in her nightmare each time she dies she restarts and forgets about her past life help her wakeup!
this is very short game abt 5 mins long, would really appreciate if you finish it :)
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Oh god, jooobs… humanity's worst nightmare. Anyway, the story is pretty dark but interesting, and the ending is nice as well. I also like the minimal pixel art style, it looks very cool. Nice work!
Feel free to check out mine as well!
Thankyou!
A fantastic game! I loved the simple and beautiful graphics. Don't hesitate to try my game too :)
The pixel art for the cat is really nice, and the little tail wag animation adds a lot of charm. The level design was fun and kept things engaging, and the story moment at the end with the cat reaching its former owner's grave definitely tugged at the heartstrings. The minimal art style and music worked well together to create a nice atmosphere. This was a cute little platformer. Good entry!
Thankyou! (in joseph style)
Good game!
feel free to try our game as well :)
yyayay
I thought I was being chased by BOL, then it turned around...
lol :<}
Nice and fun game! I am really bad at platformers so I would appreciate checkpoints or more lives but other than that great job.
Ye I will work on it after jam :)
Cool platformer, pretty difficult, but looks and feels great. Good work!
thankyou!!
Visuals look great! Such a cool minimalistic art style!
thank YOU!
I always like to see cats in games! I also hate job. Anytime a game jam game can add a story even if small it is super cool and feels very personal in a good way.
:D
Short and straightforward game. The platforming controls were tight, and the cat animations added to the feeling of quality platforming. I don't think it was particularly hard, but the JOB enemies' hitboxes were a tiny bit unforgiving. The music and minimal color palette worked together to make an interesting atmosphere.
Thankyouuuuu :D
Hi! I really like the vibe of the game! Very minimalist design but it really works! It's also surprisingly challenging! which I like alot! I hope you find my game as challenging as I find yours ^^ Well done!
yess sirr!!
Congratulations on your game. It's quite difficult, lol. I had to revive more than 10 times before I could memorize how to beat the level. It's very simple and fulfills its purpose well. I liked it.
Sorie (・∀・)
I love the design of the game, very cute! Lovely game; it would be great if we had some lives to survive longer! Also, I'm sorry for what happened to Nini's owners; I hope Nini gets adopted soon.
I will improve it by next month and add some lores :D
Thankyou for trying it!
Cute little game — keep going!
Small piece of feedback: the part with the jumping job rectangles was a bit difficult. Maybe you could make it a little slower.
Thank you!! :]
Thanks for suggestion too!
Glad to help, that would be great if you could give me some feedback as well 😉
Ye I downloaded it! was abt to play :]
The j*b rectangles as enemies are super scary. I like the visual and the gameplay! I wish there were checkpoints though so you don't restart all over again. But other than that it's a great game!
Thank You :D
I wanted to comment in yours but since I'm ban from commenting this is what I wanted to say abt your game
"I Absolutely love this the peaceful music The sky Particles!!!
everything comes together so well peaceful soothing exploring game this is art!!!! my second highest rated game"
Satisfying to move the cat, and amazing how such a simple animation could be so clear in its depiction of that creature. It would benefit from checkpoints or more lives instead of having to start back at the beginning. The arrow keys worked well and I was almost as agile as a real cat -- Nicely done. The audio was suitable for the level. I'll play again and read more into the story to see the theme integration.
I will work on everything separate to jam :) thank you for trying it and dropping such a nice comment.
one of the reasons it is the way it is because I had no one to test it and the time was short, I made very short game intentionally, so it fits the theme well and not just another platformer but I failed to realize ppl die too and instead of theme based game they are feeling it as rage game!! for me I honestly played it under 1 min I thought levels are very easy :>
Yes I had the same experience in playing my own created game for another jam. But I also added a level creator so more levels might come from people other than myself. It was a alchemist. A month long jam. You can try that one at https://lostwords.itch.io
I will totally touch your game and play wit it
job
j*b
i wish i could kill my job. jokes aside, i enjoyed the visual style, the writing, and how quite difficult it was. good job :)
I honestly don't know why everyone is calling it so difficult I was so worried that it is very easy n short that players would be like nehhh
Anyways I enjoyed the event a lot thank you for trying :>
Loved the art, great visual style. The story-based platforming was also really nice too. Definitely felt engaged with the journey. I agree with another commenter that said that a checkpoint would be nice but I also get the reasoning behind not wanting to shorten what you may feel is already a short game. It was fun! Thanks for sharing.
I will work on it separate to jam thank you for your valuable comment!
I am ban from commenting on others, but I tried yours I love your funny bg music alot! I played till lvl 11 then died, fun experience overall
I enjoyed it and I love the minimalastic art style!
Thankyou :)
I Love yours too! (ban from commenting on others comment)
very challenging game!
I would need 360 shield cheat code to play it
