Wow, this is a very sylvie game. You always manage to make a really esoteric mechanic shine with difficult levels and cute aesthetic. Chess did a great job on the spritework, the assets all feel like they fit together cohesively. The basketball level felt very satisfying to beat. I want to play this game some more so I can get better at throwing!

Very cute game, using thrown cats for platforming is definitely a unique mechanic! I couldn't figure out the basketball hoop level, but I had fun beating the others!

Beyond adorable! Took me a while to figure out I could only jump on spinning cats, but was a fun "a ha" moment.

Loved it! Feels good to play and the art and sound are all nice, cute and polished. Totally feels like it could be a real NES game. I like that there is variety to the challenges and I like that sometimes there are just a bunch of cats even where you don't need them.

Cute artwork and gameplay +cats! :3
Took me a little while on how to actually get past the first room and then a little time to know what to do in the main room. But I really enjoyed this and loved the cute audio too. Good job

Super polished, great looking game with an amazing soundtrack and innovative mechanics! Awesome! It was not super obvious what to do at first, but once it clicked, pure joy followed :)

Took me AWHILE to get the cat into the basketball hoop. I enjoyed the puzzles though. Awesome jam results!

The art for this game is lovely! When the cats follow you around it's so cute! It seemed a bit difficult for me to control the cats and jump on them, but I got better the more I played.

Holy crap...
This game legit gave me a new view on ludum dare games in general.

That was hella fun ^D^

The only thing that I didn't like was that the cat collection sound got a lil annoying to the end, even tho I'd say the sound effects were great in general.

Passed about one minute only pressing left and right with to mess with the scale factor and listen to the menu sound wobbling around. The faster the funnier!

The sounds are truly the best, and while the graphics are somewhat simplistic, they are also well done.

The problem i found is with the cat throwing mechanic. They go way too far with the minimal amount of throwing and have a powerful rebound on walls. It made very difficult for me to pass through the title screen and i gave up on the basketball level. I guess if they stayed spinning a bit longer after they stabilize it wouldnt be so challenging.

With that in mind, its an excellent job for a jam game.

Wow, very cute! Mechanics were really cool, though took a while to figure out. I have one of those laptop keyboards that doesn't accept more 3 inputs depending on what you're pressing, which can make holding the cat to throw a bit hard, but was able to do it. I think the trick is usually to jump and throw the cat down so it comes back on you standing on it. That last platform (on the sharp strawberry) is moving so fast but I got lucky and was able to beat it. I could imagine some kind of mario maker like level where you have to continuously throw cats and jump on them, but that would be very hard. Perhaps if the cats moved a bit slower. Anyway, good job!
