I couldn't pass up the chance to play a cat game!!! Thank you for the puns haha I thought this was a very cute and original game. nice job
A really charming game with a good story premise and simple and fun gameplay! The story and narrative of the game is really creative! For the gameplay it took me 3 tries to successfully deliver the letter. Some issues with the map / level design I encountered:
- I got stuck on a tree stump pretty early on and had to wait about 50 seconds! I think there should be a restart / reset button. The respawn definitely works since when I go into the ravine I get spawned back into a valid position, but it'd be a lot better if the player can also choose the restart in case of getting stuck!
- The ravine and log could definitely be better indicated. Originally I thought I had to jump it but then I saw a log bridge in the corner of my eye and realised I just needed to be on the left side. I think buildings on both sides of the ravine [where the bridge is]* would be a good way to indicate that there might be a way to get across!
For the visuals and artstyle I really like as well! The pixelisation actually makes the game look nice and you can still see ahead of the car to dodge the trees / stumps. The car model is nice but I wish the cat was visible inside (I couldn't tell if it was but I didn't see anything inside), it'd be even cooler and a nice detail with the storyline! I would've said that there should be some audio for the car, but I guess it is cardboard and thus no engine so it makes sense. But maybe some collision sounds could polish the game even more.
It's a fun and short experience with a good premise behind it!
Wow thanks for the detailed feedback and for trying out the game! I will definitely implement the reset button and clearer indication of where the log bridge is after the game jam! The cat is sitting inside the car, but yeah he's pretty hard to see. I'll make it easier to see the cat driving in the next update as well. Thanks for playing!
why can't those trees move out of the way pleaseee :sob: (great artwork)
A lot of obstacles in the way compared to my driving skills, but this was actually quite fun to drive around and the art is nice, congratulations :)
Definitely a unique art style! Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get through the ravine, so I think it would help if there was a road of some kind to show you where to go. The music also got repetitive super fast.
Super fun to play, driving the car feels very good! A couple of things I'd improve:
- Turning while going backwards is wrong - the animation is right but it goes in the opposite direction;
- Sometimes I got stuck on trees, adding the ability to esc->restart would be nice. Also useful if something goes terribly wrong and lose too much time.
The car felt perfect to drive, comically drifty but never upsettingly so. I just wish it also had sounds. Visuals were also great, I feel like the low-res 3D look is often overused and rarely done well, but you certainly pulled it off.
I enjoyed playing this, it was fun!
The only two things I personally would change:
- The custom font in the title fits the game a lot better than the other font, maybe you could make a custom custom font and use that in the game after the rating phase.
- It would be nice to be able to restart or restart from checkpoint, because once I got stuck between trees and had to wait until the time ran out.
But those two complaints are only tiny suggestion, it’s a really fun and quick game! Good job!
Haha I love the little story, and the game is as wacky as the theme. Really cute and really fun !
