How does your game fit the theme?
Through its limited move count. Every input moves all cats at once and reduces the counter, so you are constantly counting down toward zero. Players must plan carefully, use special tiles, and collect extra moves to guide every cat to its matching yarn ball before the countdown runs out.

Ohhh i love this kind of games. Reminded me of  Baba is you but kind of more difficult as you use 2 characters and have limited movement. Love the game overall!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the challenge. We really like difficult games like Baba Is You, so it was definitely an inspiration :)

Great puzzle game. I love the cats’ designs, they made me smile. The intro could be a little faster, but overall, I really enjoyed it!

Cute puzzle game, the artwork is pretty good

Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun designing the art :)

Great game, feels clean, the only thing I could say is that the font could be a bit more fitting with the rest of the game!

Developer

Thank you! We are really happy the game felt clean. We have heard a few comments about the font, so that is definitely something we will take another look at :)

The intro was way too long (read: slow and unskippable :p ) ! The gameplay was fun and played smoothly! Very simplistic but well excecuted 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! You are right, the intro could definitely be faster and skippable. We are glad the gameplay felt smooth and fun :)

The art’s simplicity is what I admired the most from this game. Though I didn’t really do much on the puzzle because of the difficulty spike, the copycat mechanic is really cool! Great job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! We are really happy you liked the art. The difficulty does ramp up quite a bit, so we added some hints for the harder levels. Thanks! :)

I don't think the puzzle style really clicked with me, but the art and presentation were a lot of fun. I'm always a sucker for hand-drawn art, especially within the constraints of the jam. I do have a couple nitpicks about the presentation though:-I think that's just the default font? Either way, it would be nice to have a more characterful font. -Some sort of visual overlay when out of moves to make it a bit more obvious. Ala what Baba is You does if nothing is you.

Developer

Thank you for the honest feedback and for giving the game a try! We are glad the art stood out to you. The font is actually not the default one, but we agree that it could have a bit more character. A clearer visual effect when you run out of moves is also a great suggestion :)

Pretty solid puzzle game, I got stuck on the later levels but it was still a good time :)

Developer

Thank you! The later levels can get pretty tricky, so we added a few hints in case you would like to give them another try. We are glad you still liked it :)

The puzzle can be challenging, but it has a lot of potential for a bigger, proper release :D

Well done :D

Developer

Thank you for the kind feedback and for playing our game on stream! We had a lot of fun watching :)

This game is pretty good! It has some pretty challenging puzzles and a nice style. Only criticism is about the text bubbles acting weird with multiple lines, but that is really minor. Great job, good game!

Developer

Thank you! We are really glad you enjoyed the game. The text definitely need a little more polishing, so we appreciate you pointing that out :)

Submitted(+1)

I have nothing to say, near perfect entry honestly, good concept, artstyle and the difficulty is just right, well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! This really means a lot to us :)

Cute story with two cats, chill music, although I wasn’t sure why’d we have a limited amount of moves? Would be better if you’d have some story-driven justification for that! Fun cats sprites!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! The move limit was mainly added to make the puzzles more challenging, but giving it a story-related explanation is a really nice idea :)

Submitted(+1)

Cute game :) It felt really polished. Was a bit hard but thats prolly just me. Well done overall!

Developer

Thank you! We are really glad you liked it. We added some hints for the more difficult levels, in case you would like to give it another try :)

Lovely grid puzzle! I really enjoyed it and beat the whole thing. I really liked the art direction as well :) My suggestions would be: (1) undo functionality (I know my game could've used it too!), (2) removing extraneous space, arrows, +2s, etc that are not relevant to beat the level (this is totally personal preference, as it can be a red herring for the player to figure out). (3) I liked the difficulty scaling for the most part, but I did think level 4 was misplaced and could discourage players early. That's my two cents, overall you killed it! GG

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! We really liked your game too, the pixel art is beautiful and the worm spinning animation is fun! :P

There is actually an undo function when you press U, but we probably should have made that clearer. The extra arrows and moves were meant to make the puzzles a bit more challenging, though you are right that we may have overdone it in places. I think we just really like difficult games. :D

Submitted(+1)

oops haha thanks for telling me about the undo function! That’s awesome that you have it :) I have my own undo ready for my post jam build as well!

Developer

Nice! Looking forward to playing more levels and helping the worms get more revenge! :P

I clicked because I saw cats and wasn't disappointed.. Such cuties with their big eyes, surely they will sleep well after all these yarns chases !! I also liked the fun and challenging puzzle levels. Well done, congrats !!

Developer

Thank you! The cats definitely earned a long nap after all that yarn chasing!
We are really happy you had fun with the puzzles! :)

I like this game! It is really cute and fun to play, and I loved the way they chat: "Huu.! You are copying me...!"

Developer

Thank you so much! We are glad you liked it. We had a lot of fun writing their little conversations! :)
