A cute and beautiful game, I enjoyed playing it :) The action/item selection felt a bit unusual at first but I quickly go used to it. The story and ambiance feels simple and complex at the same time, I like that there is some unexplained weirdness to the world. But most of all the overall good feel to the whole experience.
Very nice game, inspired me to create my own!
This brings me joy! Thank you
very good
Thank you 😻
Fun, cute and wholesome. Works with no issues, too, big recommend <3
Also has key rebinding functionality whoa!!!
Thank you 😻
Really wholesome game. Thanks for making this, was a lot of fun to play. Including the source code is so important as well for education and learning so that's awesome!
Thank you so much! 😻 Enjoy rummaging around in the code!
This was a very charming game! I found myself trying to butter everything just to see what happens lol. Great stuff, I am looking forward to any more projects :)
Thank you! It’s warming to hear that you liked it 😺
Trying butter with everything is the sign that this is indeed a true adventure game, although in a 2D sidescroller package
Thanks for being interested in my future projects! :)
Such a lovely little game. Beautiful art, great cat control. Perfect! Well done mr. Zylinski!
Thank you so much! 😻 Happy you enjoyed the cat controls!
Very funny game. Creative and sweet . Also I loved the cat puns and the rock puns and squirrel puns and waterfall puns and onion puns and I love puns they are so silly. Well done!
Thank you 😻✨
I wanted to come up with a new pun to write here as a special present for you, but I’m afraid I might have punted all of them into the game already
Great game! Fun dialogue and overall theme. Loved the transitions between areas. It all felt like a single playfield.
I also like that the source is shipped with the game, along with build instructions.
Thank you 😻✨ It warms me that you liked the transitions, I put lots of care into all that stuff
Fun little game!
The characters were all very strange (good thing), and I like the fantasy elements to it. The world is really trippy - don’t play this on drugs! haha (or maybe it’s better on drugs??)
The gameplay didn’t really do it for me, but I don’t really think that was the point.
That said, I had a crash near the end of the game whentalking with the secrets , and I was super worried I’d have to rerun the entire game to finish up.
Luckily, there seems to be an autosave feature! So I didn’t have to redo much.
Great job! Super solid project.
Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it 😻
I am sorry about the crash. May I ask what platform you ran on and when you downloaded the game?
No worries about the crash!
I’m on a mac. For a little more information:
Waiting on your next project :)
Thank you! I will try to fix it, I take crashes very seriously. I think there might be a random crash affecting Mac and Linux platform somehow. I will investigate.
Thanks for being interested in future projects! :)
weird little story with weird little characters. felt really creative and fun and personal. if this game were food, it would be a chocolate cookie.
Thank you! 😻 I love this review
Very cute, was nice to play in the evening. I really enjoyed the dialogue and overall silliness of the game. The color palette choice is great too, and I liked the simple designs of the characters. It’s very easy to tell that you put a lot of love into this game.
Also, I just started using raylib for my game dev purposes and was surprised to see that this game was made using it! Cool! Oh, and thank you for the linux version.
Hi Kenneth! It is very heartwarming to hear that you liked it. It’s always hard when making something of actually being sure if anyone else will like it. So thank you!
For the color palette I used is this one: https://lospec.com/palette-list/retrocal-8 … Early in the development I realized that the current colors where waaay too dark and also I used too many colors, so it started to get messy. So I found that palette and did a big color-swapping-session. Here’s a before vs after video of how the game looked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDRNVHJBeeU
Good luck on your gamedev with Raylib!
Completely understand that feeling. I hope the game continues to do well! And good luck on Steam!
The current colors definitely look better than the old. Also the dithering for shading and general fanciness looks really nice too. Gives the game a lot more charm.
I loved the secrets :)
Thank you Lucy! 😻
