It was a very solid platformer with good controls and an interesting start to a story. Unfortunately I was able to jump off the world midway through level two (I glided off the edge to the right after getting the glide ability), and at some point the audio just cut off. There were a lot of leaps of faith in this game or open areas to jump over. some background cues would help, but as you said, you ran out of time."},{"author_name":"HolyBlackCat","author_uid":"39241","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 12:48pm","epoch":1429533780,"text":"Nice texts and controls are smooth.\rMore levels and better graphics would be nice.\r\rAlso, you can't use music made by someone else.

I feel like the controls are spot on, I actually feel like a magical cat. The audio gets me in the mood to figure out who this nemesis is. I like the simplistic style of the graphics, though I would revisit it and add some finishing touches like shading. I had a lot of fun playing, as it had an innovative narrative. However, besides the main character being a cat, it's weapons don't feel unconventional (as far as video-games go). However I feel that is a trivial complaint, and that on it's own I think you have a franchise in the making. I highly suggest you read the junior fantasy novel series, "Warriors" by Erin Hunter. Great job, and good idea!"},{"author_name":"Thijs Tak","author_uid":"17048","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 5:06pm","epoch":1430154060,"text":"@Flayk,\r\rThanks for the booklink.

My first project didn't really work out so about halfway on the first day I switched to this one.\r\n\r\nIn ran into a lot of weird issues this time around, from prefabs working in one scene but not in the next and collisions and animation spazing out from time to time.\r\n\r\nAnyway, about the game itself. In it's current state it is more of a demo or prototype. The second level never got finished and some of the cat's abilities didn't make it into the game, even though they where (almost) fully functional. The game has a beginning and an end, so it is possible to complete it.\r\n\r\nI hope it will at least entertain you for a little while, though the game is really short. All of the controls are explained in the game itself.","title":"Cat"}
