Very cute and polished game! The art is very cute and the game mechanic is easy to understand. The time is also pretty balanced. Overall we had much fun (/≧▽≦)/

Help the little kitty make her way home. Spend Luci's innocent SOULS to platform around to the end before the time, or her souls run out.

Having to hold jump took some getting used to. The first time I tried to hold jump to get on top of the cages I thought the game was pretty unforgiving, but it was because I wasn't using the corpses. So that in-level hint came in clutch! Completed the game. Well done on the jam! 
Loved the character design. And the final screen was so cute. The Jump King-style control scheme adds a nice bit of pressure for the levels' small timers.
That was well excecuted! I've seen few of these count down death platformers so far but I think you guys nailed it. And the art and environments were really pretty. Good job!
i really like the artstyle of this it's really cute, the model and animations of the cat, the ui, the ending it's great
altho im not sure if the timer above the flaming skulls is needed, it might be just how fast i completed the levels but i feel like the nine lives are good enough as a timer
about the mechanics
im not sure about the hold to jump thing, i think going for a more traditional "release to stop going up" would be better, that or just to let the cat move a bit before jumping because the stopping of momentum made the platforming abit awkward
besides that i feel like the cat corpses need a simple box hitbox so they would be a bit more reliable to climb
otherwise the levels and mechanic were very solid well done!
Hey, I really like your submission! The artwork is really great. Fun idea too, I like the ability to spend lives to reach other places in the levels. My main recommendation is to allow players to adjust the volume of the music, I thought it was a little loud. Great work!
This is such a cute game! I love the simplistic art style
It looks amazing, though the sound effects seem a bit unfitting. An easy, but fun game.
Really cool art. Animations and backgrounds reminded me Rayman a lot.
The movement took some time to adjust (cat stopping each time it needs to jump) but overall solid platforming.
The difficulty was well balanced for a jam game in my opinion. Not too easy, but not really that hard.
Nice ending, too :)
WOWWW! The art is super super polished, awesome concept, overall great entry!
