Very interesting with each cat is different  so you need to path differently I wish there is a sound tho also I feel like sometime cat blend with tiles a bit

I think it a very fun idea, but the mechanics is not very clear. I only notice the white and black cat got difference mechanics after half the level. The art is very good though.

really cool game, but I find it hard to understand what specifically is making the cats stop following me! Your animations look nice and bouncy, and the story is charming!

Neat idea of having to lead the cats to the exit. It was sometimes visually unclear on what you could or couldn't walk into. I was also sometimes confused on why certain cats would stop at certain things. The art style is cool. I especially liked how the colors were used for the second area with the mushrooms. Nice job!

It’s a bit hard to find wha'ts going on but I appreciate the effort making the intro cutscene. Good concept tho.

It’s a pity there aren’t any sounds, but overall it’s a good idea. I can see that you put in the effort, so I liked it :)

I agree for the sound and music

Thank you for giving it a try

I couldn't figure out the last level, the required movements to even go to a cat and back would be greater than what's needed for a perfect score, let alone dodging the thingies
other than that I really enjoyed it

Your feedback really means a lot to us! We’re thinking of keeping things simpler for future jams so we can spend more time making sure our games feel cohesive and get straight to the point.

Thanks for playing!

I enjoyed trying to get to each cat in the least number of moves. I did initially struggle to work out which cats could go on which tiles but apart from that it was good fun :)

Cool game, I liked it :)

The puzzle idea was fairly unique and pretty interesting. I really liked the pathfinding aspect of it where you iterate over your solutions.

Only thing to note is that it was sometimes hard to tell which tiles each cat could walk through leading to some trial and error.

Overall an interesting experience!

Thank you for giving it a try <3

We're sorry to hear you had struggles.
We are wondering what levels you tried?

Enjoy the other games

Hey! I played through all the levels that were provided. The issue I mentioned was more so not about the solving of the said puzzles but around having to experiment with each cat before being able to come up with a solution. Leading to said trial and error before going on with solving.

Another thing to note was that I didn't seem to be able to restart levels which meant I'd have to solve the level and then retry again if I made a mistake. 

But overall I enjoyed it!!
