Very good game and concept!!! The game need a little bit of feedback to player but good job!!!
You can try my game too, it can contains some bugs but is only my third game :)
Very neat concept and a nice spin on the theme! Didn't figure out how to get up to the fan but enjoyed the game anyway. Having more feedback on my actions would be nice, I didn't realize the music player scared cats and just went around placing it in every room until I noticed the amalgamation of cats near the farthest bathroom door, which while hilarious took a lot of time to notice, I though that way was just blocked with cats from the start haha.
thanks for the revieww!! there is a dialog that appears (OR IS SUPPOSED TO APPEAR I JUST CHECKED AND SOMETIMES IT DOESNT ITS BUGGED) the first time u insert the disk that says it scared the cats off but i guess we should have made it more clear.. also to get to the vent (SPOILERS) u need to make a staircase of cats and use it to climb the vent haha. Thanks for playing again :)
Okay, I've played this one. Good concept.
I got stuck after removing the fan: I couldn't climb up there all way, but I was able to remove the grate and cut the wire. After that, while I could interact with the vent, it didn't seem to do anything (supposed to give me that blue thing, I guess?).
Also, in addition to larger hitboxes (and a reticle, optionally) I'd recommend the ability to run, at least. The character moves extremely slow, and it shows - especially if you end up opening a lot of doors, and have to meander back :)
Still, congrats on the game.
thank you for the review!
Really fun game!
Loved that you needed to do the same thing over and over to get to the next section of the game :D
Although the collisions are rough i needed to precisely aim at the scissor to get it. Would work on the graphics tbh.
More of this pls
thanks for playing!
Cool game
but just for future: make hitboxes of stuff player be aiming at bigger. It is hard to aim tiniest little door knob in galaxy especially without crosshair. There are nothing next to it anyway, make collision half a meter wide. Second thing: player need a way to know for sure the object is interactable at this moment. For example i really was about to stuck, because doors are active only when you pointing at a knob and only when you don't hold stuff in hands. Why?
It is applicable to any game - give players a little bit of aim cheats and a way to be sure the game didn't broke
yess we didnt have time to test those things, and in hindsight i realised the hitboxes should be way bigger lol.. it was cuz of the time constraint we were focused more on getting things to work rather than things to be perfect.. thanks for the review!
Love the idea, and really liked the way it was executed! Having the rooms loop and thus giving you more resources to complete the puzzles was really quite smart and the game aesthetic fits the mind-bending-ness of the game too!
thank you so much for the comment!!
I love the art and the design of the room! Though I got stuck after crafting a pair of scissors. Great job and keep up the great work! Only suggestions would be a web build because its a game jam, and maybe more instructions so its easier to beat (or maybe im just dumb). Good game! :D
heyy thanks for the review! we would have loved to do a web build but we wanted the game to look good and it was getting laggy on web... also good job getting that far cuz the part after that is a bit hard to figure outt... (SPOILERS AHEAD) u basically have to stack the cats and get to the vent and use the scissor..
The artstyle is also amazing! Loved that it was handrawn
Thank u so much! means a lot :3
This is a really cool concept! Reminds me of chainsaw man and JJK
I really had fun!
cat best feature fr
thanks!! the cat is truly cuteee asf
I'M STUCK ! (I didn't find the second battery :<)
Try to look in the other rooms behind the kitchen or bathroom door!
