The cats angry sounds were awesome!\n\nSomething with the controls feels just a bit off. Not to the point of unplayable, but I think the jumping is just a bit too sensitive or too jarring. It didn't affect my game play in any serious way, I just like to give a suggestion on a review. \n\nGreat work on the game!
