Cute game! Do all levels require you to use all the arrows? In most of them I had quite a few leftover, and I'm not sure if I solved them the intended way.

A charming and easy to learn game, as the gameplay is intuitive and fun. Cute visuals and sound effects!

I think it's awesome! Thow I didn't like how the learning curve is designed. The first few stages should be a tutorial for dummies like me. Right now they're kinda hardcore. I had to restart the first stage several times to complete. Except for that it's great! Cats rule!

очень забавная игра, механика имеет мысл быть) не совсем читается тема джема, но фан определенно сильная сторона этой игры.

@sariiger According to the original idea, the player must use all available fur balls. But if you completed the level without spending all of fur balls, consider that you have completed the level by 3 stars))

@antonion In that case I managed to beat all levels with 3 stars! :tada:

@sariiger Very nice! This is "immersive sim" moment) But don't spoiler for other players!

Quite a charming game. Of course I love every game featuring a cat. The movement and animations felt stiff however that may not be such a bad thing in a game like this that is more puzzle than platformer. Good job.

Great game, I had a lot of fun playing it and figuring out how to finish each level. Nice work!

Very cool! I think my PC is getting too old for the latest unreal sadly - really loved the style. I think maybe some more obvious grid elements would have been cool , so it's more predictable where hairball would summon maybe, other than that, great job for a jam game :v:

Woah! I was really getting into these hairball puzzles on the last level and was sad when the game suddenly ended! Fun puzzle mechanic, and great difficulty curve to the puzzles. Really enjoyed playing!

This is *brilliant.* I wasn't sure what to make of the concept at the first but the puzzle on the final level was *really, really clever.* This could definitely be expanded to a bigger, full-featured game.

The art style is unique and adds a lot to the experience. Gameplay wise there's a solid concept and base here that I could definitely see it expand more.

What a lovely game with a cute little meme kitty! We had an idea to do something simillar when we were brainstorming at the beginning of the jam and I am happy to see you made it :)

Very good puzzle platformer mechanic. I really like the level design, the difficulty increases progressively, and the puzzles are satisfying to solve without being too difficult. Except perhaps for the first level because I didn't yet know how the mechanic works. Nice work !
