Kitten Catastrophe by Phasm Studios
This was a crazy adventure as me and my friend have never posted one game and to take part in this event was awesome! It was such a great experience! Even though there are a lot of bugs, my friend and I had fun making this project for the ludam dare. There was a problem with the screen and the UI elements but anyway, we want to thank you for playing!

The rules and controls are simple, still the game is challenging enough. The graphics are nice and there is also particules effects. I would have added a short in-game tutorial and a file system to save the player best score in the web browser local storage. And as the game is played with the keyboard, pressing a key to restart the game.
It is a fun and complete game. Nice :v:
-The obstacles aren't intuitive. For example, the light post falling is impossible for a first time player to know. This is usually a mechanic found in rage games. I'm not sure if you intended for this or not.
-Too much visual clutter. It's difficult to figure out what I'm supposed to be avoiding because the background is so active. Highlighting obstacles is necessary to distinguish them from the background
-Hitboxes are too tight. Took me a while to understand that it was possible to jump over the dog and it wasn't just an instant death
-Bird is impossible to react to. It comes waaaaaayy too fast. Another trope of rage games. Not sure if intentional or not
-Restarting should just be another keyboard key and not through mouse controls. It's really inconvenient for a player. Space/any key to restart would make a lot more sense.
All in all, good job for a beginner. Looking forward to future projects.
Good job.
You and your friend both did really well, so be very happy with what you made. Nice one!
