I liked exploring the levels using the cat's platform summon mechanic. It can be expanded on.

Woah Cicibela does have magic powers. Great level design and sound design. :sparkles: Cicibela :sparkles:

A cute platformer with simple to understand mechanics. I fell down surprisingly few times; I don't think you have any grace/coyote time, but the bounding box of the characters extend beyond them visually, so it essentially works the same.

I expected the crystal to be a pickup, but it remains after you touch it. Thankfully we can see the obstacle disappear when it's first presented, so the effect becomes clear.

The final level was a little confusing for a while, until the green platform arrived. I half expected it to be endless and nearly stopped altogether, not knowing there was a victory platform coming eventually.

The graphics are pretty basic but functional. I would've loved simple jumping and landing sfx, that's something simple would have added some easy to achieve sense of *gamefeel.*

All in all, while simple in some respects, I did enjoy exploring and navigating around. Nice one!

Really nice platformer, nice job!

It would be nice to occasionally move both characters are once to reduce the amount of repetition - or perhaps there could be slightly different paths for the human and cat character?

You also did a great job at gradually introducing the mechanics.

If only you could pet the cat :'(

Fun game! Loved the inclusion of idle animations! :D Also fun to see a change in the music and visuals part way through, and that the challenge changed. Good entry!

Aw I really like this entry! Very cute and fun to play, the levels have some challenges and I felt good beating them. Music is pretty good too. Good job! A bit of love on the controls later can make this game really shine. :)

The premise was interesting. Even though the game was simple, some mechanics made things more interesting, like the cloud platforms and the last level.

This game has a lot of chaotic energy that I enjoy! The levels were enjoyable and cleverly designed. Did you play and record the music yourselves?

Really cute game did you think about having a level where you need to have cicibela do a platform for her human ?

Thanks for this game. As a platformer it was simple – movements could be improved to avoid basic issues – but the whole story around the dream and how the cat with the owner are moving around kept me going on. The last level got me by surprise and I really felt the weirdness. Great music.

It’s about a calico cat with an idle animation looking into my soul and all that happens in a cat’s dream. I can’t imagine something cuter than this. Levels, especially the "catnip" ones were well designed and more than enough for a jam game. Excellent job!

Very cute game, the platforming was a bit janky though which made the tricky platforming parts frustrating, but thankfully the cat's ability and resetting were relatively forgiving. The trippy ending were very interesting to see!

The game is very nice, the textures and spirites especially Cicabela are amazing, I love the fact that whenever you jump with human character the jump animation starts way after I pressed jump like it starts mid air haha, Nice idea of summoning the platform mechanic, nice, great job keep it up guys!
