Really creative idea! Love how you have to place your past lives in the correct place every time! I wish you had the opportunity to replay just the last life without having to restart everything. Too many times it happened to me that I had evrything lined up perfectly and then I missed a jump and blocked the whole way....but maybe that's the fun of the game? hahah
I found the meaning of life!
Great job on this game! It hit the theme and was challenging!
Lovely game! I like alot of the levels, solved some of them on my last life which was quite intense! wish I could go fullscreen but either way it's nice!
actually one of the most interesting games ive played this jam. very clever.
the idea of making platforms from your lost life is really neat! the third level in particular is quite challenging for me since you have to make perfectly placed platforms in a strict time limit to reach the goal at the top. It's a good game, go try it!
As each life is lost, the survival time increases. Combined with the mechanic of turning into a platform upon death, the two work together brilliantly and add a lot of challenge to the game!
kitty :) I liked the concept of building your own platforms!
I can confirm. Yarn is indeed the meaning of life.
Catnip second
Cats.
hard! timing the jumps felt really tricky, maybe you can go slow-mo while in the air? appreciate the design of giving later lives more time
Planning your own death is a key skill in this game. Love it! Also, cool ghost cat!
Altough i dont usually like platformers this one got me playing till the end. Cat god had some wise words, the older I get to more cat like my life gets :/ Naps and food is enough
Thanks, i really liked your game too, btw its the only game ive played so far in the jam that ive came back to
You can never go with a cat themed game. I found the concept quite unique, I think you can expand this even further. add some more content, diversify the levels and polish the art work and you have a contender for a very good game!
W GAME, I got my time down to 3:30.
I like it! its a cool concept when you die to leave behind something to use to help progress!
Nice game and very creative!
Fun idea, some jumps were a bit annoying with mid air timing
I was surprised by this one! The main mechanic is actually really cool. Also the ending lol
glad you enjoyed it, but if you liked the ending... did you know theres actualy three ending
woah.. Ill have to check em out
Thank you guys for playing, btw there is three different endings you can get
Nice job with everything, a really creative take on the theme. the art and music work well together, and it's all in all a fun platformer.
Spoilers for anyone who doesn't want to see the ending:
I got the yarn ball ending with a time 7:59.11
I find it funny that both our games focus on cat's nine lives (I couldn't find any free rigged cat models tho, so for now my protagonist is an alien) and using past lives corpses as platforming equipment.
