i liked the cute art style and the ambient music reminded me of OFF
my only criticism is that maybe the spikes' colliders were a little too big, i found myself dying when only hitting the edge of them. normally platformers shrink their spikes' colliders a little, just to make it more fair
overall i still liked this a lot.
The cat's animations are so fluffy which is supported by his white-pink color scheme with the dot on the belly :smiley_cat: :heartpulse:.
And all of that in contrast to the game's theme: horror :scream_cat: (This smiley has never had more fitting usage).
The music had a LOT of variation. that must took a while... but nothing compares to the animations in this game. :clap_tone1::clap_tone1::clap_tone1:
The cat: wow in general, plus the squash and stretch that is not in the pixel space is adding so much!
The ghosts: so sad, so cute :ghost:
The ghoul: !!! what !!! that caught me offguard in the game.
All in all, I would pay for a sequel.
Nice one - I can see this one doing very well
My favorite part was right before you found the key. I was tricked by the endless fall and became confused. Though, it was a pleasant surprise when I figured it out. I love bits like that in games.
Well done!
The only criticism I can think of, is that I really would have liked to see w, a, s, d support for the game. I had to play the game crosshanded.
5/5 game
..
i gave up at the last platforming bit tho, it was too hard for me. i'm happy someone posted a video playthrough tho because that fish looks yummy.
good good stuff guys!
That was the best platform of Ludum Dare games I played, this is so good omg...
Thank you for this experience!
Do you folks have a twitter or other place you post about game development? I'd love to keep my eye on your work
Too bad I'd never heard of your game until after the ratings period! I'll just rate now, 5/5 for everything.
@oaksguard that is so true! This game was basically made for that emoji.
