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 (/≧▽≦)/

Developer

 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!  

Developer

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.

Haha yes! That's exactly what we went for 😁. Thank you for playing 🙏🙏

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!

Developer

Thanks Limecider, glad you liked it! ❤️

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!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the in depth feedback! It's very helpful ✨🙏

Developer

I like how discarded souls retain the properties of the powerup you died with! I think that could add a lot of extra dimensions to puzzles if you ever added more in the future.

Developer(+1)

Absolutely! Cool that you caught that. We had some wild ideas for corpse upgrades haha

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!

Developer

Thank you! You can adjust the music volume in the settings menu. It doesn't mention that anywhere though so thanks for highlighting how it's easy to oversee atm.

It looks amazing, though the sound effects seem a bit unfitting. An easy, but fun game.

Thanks, And you're 100% right we didn't manage to improve the audio in time :}

The art is absolutely amazing.

Developer

Thank you! Artists did amazing indeed.

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 :)

Developer

Thank you! What an awesome thing to be compared to :DD.
Yeah striking those balances in such a short time be difficult.
Thanks for playing for the kind words!
