Programer - Roman Novikov
Graphic - Anastasia Grigoryan
The game was created as part of the Ludum Dare game jam. All mechanics and code were written by us during the game jam. All characters, their animations and concepts, visual effects, all icons, and user interface were created by us during the game jam. All work on level design and level art was also done by us during the game jam. The 3D models used in locations as backgrounds were purchased and taken from a marketplace.

I hope you continue developing it, keeping the mood and artstyle and iterating on assets quality (such as character animations etc).
Tweaking texture sizes and excluding unused assets should help with build size, in my practice such a game in Unreal can occupy several hundreds megabites total. But it can be comfortably done after the jam, as for now - I think it is great job!
I like art, but its a bit strange that dog is drown in a different style.
Anyway, wish you luck with your game! Great job!
To push it further, maybe more feedbacks to be given to the player.
Nice work!
The 2D art was nice, though The attack animations could do with stronger poses.
One small bug: One of the logs got stuck and couldn't be move until touched by another log.
I do think you should maybe opt out of being rated in Graphics as per the rules at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules since you've used bought assets - even though you've created some of the very nice looking characters it's still using third party assets in the game and it's a bit tough to rate the original stuff in isolation.
However, I noticed that when jumping, the cat's mask is removed briefly, which feels a bit off to me.
The zip I got from itch is only 900mb and fails to extract.
I will check file on itch, thanks!
