Cats are summoned to this world. As a hooman summoner, follow the super secret rules in the rulebook and drag items into the circle to solve the puzzle and summon the mysterious cats. All hail the cat overlord!

Spoiler/hint (if you're stuck):

the yellow symbols in the rulebook apply restriction to the item placement.

IMG-0306.PNG The 3 items are on a straight line (a side of the triangle).

Fun little logic puzzle game. It took me a minute but I got the hang of it without the hints and summoned 3 cats ^-^. Great pixel art

Great polish and fun logic puzzles! The adjacent was a bit confusing until I understood what it meant. There were a few more rules than were needed, especially for the later puzzles but that was ok because it gave multiple places to start and let you check your work! Plus who can say no to cats!

WOW cute art plus engaging and interesting puzzles. It was fun to figure out what each symbol means and experimenting with different placement to get the solution. Usually I like to add a suggestion as part of my comment, but I couldn't come up with any for you. Fantastic work.

I LOVE THE GAME! The puzzles are really well designed and manage to teach the player different mechanics bit by bit but also keep the game challenging enough. I would really hope to see it as a full-fledged game with much more levels and more mechanics! Well done!

Hey, that was great! Fun little logic puzzles to work through. I appreciate that you added a reset button and allowed for swapping ingredients by dragging them over each other. Did all 8 cats and was actually disappointed there weren't more! I was really enjoying the process.

Extending the play area to introduce more complexity was a good idea.

Tiny bit of a visual bug, I think, in that the items can be dragged underneath the recipes.

Beautiful game! The art was so cute and I loved the cats. The mechanics were simple to understand once you get the hang of it, and it kept me engaged the whole way through. It's great seeing a game with clear & fun logic puzzles. Would love to see this developed further with more complex puzzles down the line!

puzzle design top notch on this one -- really clever use of rules and the expansion of the mechanic was clever. love the little cat designs too. managed to get through all 8 puzzles. great design, congrats!

This game is so stinkin' cute, it's melting my heart into a puddle of goo. The puzzles are crafted with such clever whimsy, my girlfriend and I are head over heels for your game. It's like you sprinkled confetti on our fun factor!

Really nice game, simple but well executed. Could do with a little bit more game juice, like some particle effects or animations, but the design is solid. I also really like the pixel art, even though it was not all the same size :)

nice geometry puzzles on the magic field, and it gets harder as i get more and more familiar with the mechanics. good job for a two person work

Really nice puzzle game! I like the ramp up on the difficulty with the introduction of the inner spots and the line mechanic, and I appreciate having a "check" mechanic to learn what the symbols mean with trial and error. I can definitely see how this kind of game can ramp up. Great entry!

Very nice puzzles, surprisingly intuitive for a jam game (didn't even need the hints) and well balanced difficulty curve. Really liked the "oh no" moment when it introduces the inner slots, but didn't feel unfair. The graphics were simple but get the job done and it was nice that you managed to get all the objects to fit around the cat theme, though my one suggestion would be to pick objects that visually stand out a little more (particularly the gray ones) since I frequently grabbed the wrong one mistakenly. Well done, regardless!

These puzzles are designed so well! Had a great time and took a while to finish, but I made it through! Nice cohesive style and fun to play. Would play more levels.

Cute Icons! But this level is broken, I think I can't get over it. Please fix it.

@mayitbeeld you are right. I'm really not good at rule puzzle:) Thank you for the solution. Puzzles are really good.
