Cat Box Fall by zRepa

[raw]
made by zRepa for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Hello!

In this game you are playing a cat that wants to throw off all the boxes from the platforms, but it is not so easy as it seems. Because the box will return to its initial position in a few seconds after you've thrown it. Keep it in mind!

I like the concept, also love the fact that you really explained how to play !
Unfortunatly, even though it's easy to understand i found it hard to solve !

But great, would make a great game !

It was easy to understand but really hard to master. I love the concept though and you have a really cute Player.
Try not to put so much text at the beggining, let the game talk for you!

Very Cool Game! I am unsure how to solve level 3 and it is a little wonky when you fall off but other than that it is a very solid game. Great work!

That was great. Not often do people manage to build such nice puzzles in a game jam. Felt like you really introduced all the concepts well!

Cute idea! Love the returning of the crate concept.

I really like this game and the boxes snapping back into place mechanics were cool, the pixel art was also really well done, but I thought the jumping was a little too floaty, if you keep working on this I think it'll end up being a very awesome game in time

A really unique take on the theme! The cat character is so cute! A little detail I enjoyed was how the box you carry weighs you down. I encountered a few glitches after falling, but the issues were solved by restarting the levels.

This game is so good, the puzzles are very clever, and i love how you made the boxes time travel, awesome job here.

Simple concept, clean execution. I like that the box seems to follow a reverse path back to where it was (small detail, but it adds so much character as opposed to just respawning). One small bug though, it seemed that I was unable to jump off of the grab-able crates. I'm not sure if intended, but it prevented me from solving a possible a way I initially thought possible. Overall, well done!

Awesome entry, graphics were nice and the puzzles were fun. Could definitely see this idea being expanded upon!

The concept was a really good concept, and the boxes worked well. I also liked the level design too, it was very difficult

The only things I didn't like was how the movement felt, the movement felt very uncontrollable and it seemed that it just took too long to get up to speed, and the jump felt floaty but it also felt like it was a very small jump, which worked well with the level design which was one of the really good things about it, but it just felt like moving to get to where I wanted to be was very difficult which could've been what you wanted but to me it just felt like it was just a handicap to the puzzles and not in a good way.

So overall It was a good concept, level design was really good, and I thought the art and UI looked clean really well done, but the movement just made it really hard for me to keep going and wanting to play it

Physics was kind of messy. Sometimes when I felt down to void with the cat I got stuck and cannot move. Some levels I manage to solve doing some really tricky jump and grab timed out movement to bring the crate to upper platform, and that was okey but kind of hacky sometimes. Either way was fun to play.

Really nice game!!! The core mechanic is solid. I like the floaty controllers in this game feels like a have a chance try to run to the flag if necessary.

Your game is adorable, great job. :) I love the player's animation. The nature of the game means a lot of backtracking if you're not fast enough to get to the exit, which can be a little frustrating.

The player is very floaty due to a lower gravity than you'd typically find for a platformer.

Your jump get severely limited when you're holding the box, which made it difficult to get up on the ledge. I was only able to after spamming the jump key several times.

I got stuck on the 2nd level because I pushed the box over the edge, it didn't reset and didn't see an immediately obvious "restart level" prompt.

I think this game is ambitious, I love mechanics and graphics of levels, I don't think that missions are difficult, but I had some time to figure out how to finish 2nd level

Funny game) Only on third round I understand what should I do correctly

I love the concept and the graphics. great fun to play. The only bad thing is that when you are holding an object it is difficult to climb to other platforms.

Cool puzzle ideas, sometimes the physics were a bit frustrating but nothing too bad. Overal a solid game, nice job.

Controls are a bit clunky, I hated that I could not jump from the box that I could pick up. Sound could've helped the atmosphere. The reversing was not bad at all!

Nice concept and fun game, but movement was sometimes not very smooth

Lovely little platformer. The movement felt a bit odd at times, but otherwise solid. I like the implementatino of the theme.

The theme, the graphics, the controls are great. It gets broken sometimes when you fall of the platforms.

The game looks charming and has a neat concept! With some tighter controls and more level design this could be a really cool puzzle platformer.

Well realisation. Your cat is sooooo cute. The mechanics is great too.
Good entry for this jam. Congratulations.

Interesting idea, pretty fine art. Sometimes physics breaks down completely and the character starts flying (some Unity Rigidbody's velocity things). Sometimes boxes just don't return to their places and levels become too easy. Of course these problems can't be fixed during jam (some of them are just unfixable in Unity), but I faced with them on each level.

I liked the idea a lot. Although some of the levels have cost me a lot. The graphics are very cute. Good job!

Nice graphic and puzzles here :)

Too bad for the lack of sounds... Especialy on a JAM entry you could have just picked something nice from a free library :(

This was so fun with really clever and original puzzles in my opinion! Loved the topic too - a cat who just wants to throw stuff down, classic. Great game!

The idea of the game is awsome, it really unusual and fun, additionally creates a pretty interesting level design and goals for the player. However, movent feels bat, character jumps are sluggish and unsatisfying. But other parts of the game are great.
