I liked the sounds, especially the sound the cat makes when swinging the sword. Also, I found dying to gain abilities an interesting concept. I liked the tutorial, because it was clear, except for the dodge mechanic, which was not explained in-game. The weapons are all satisfactory and I found testing combinations fun.

I would like the game to be more bright, because I had a hard time discerning the player character, especially at the tutorial cave.

Also I would like the enemy design to be more forgiving or the health pool to be greater. I found it very hard to dodge the attacks of the guard and mimic. As I only had 10 health points, I would instantly die to them.

At the second level I found myself stuck, with no way to teleport elsewhere. I do not know if this was intented. I would like the game to have an endgame screen.

Overall I think it was a decent implementation of the theme and the prototype has space to grow into a full-length game.

Lovely game, controls felt snappy and it was very satisfying to try different weapon combinations, like dual wielding swords and dodging around enemies. Lots of great design space with the extra abilities, I was constantly excited for what was next!

I liked the concept its a joy to see a cat pickup a sword and I especially loved the ability to drop the items, I was able to do flip tricks by throwing the sword and than catching it after a rotation. Also its fun saying Meow Meow.. Good job!
