I'm trying to avoid looking at anyone else's stuff on the first day - so I don't inadvertently take inspiration.

Good luck!

Nice!

In other news, I have a (mostly) walking cat that collects snails, berries , mushrooms and soon, beetles.

Thanks to everyone who gave my game a whirl! It's another platformer with a cat but this time has way more realism - especially being able to eat grass and barf.

Art imitating life

The game is based on our real life Persian cat, and true to his erratic behaviour.

Real life

I will do some camera tweaks after feedback, and maybe finish the carpet beetles / additional art I didn't finish in the 48h compo.

Thanks to everyone that took the time to play! I'm sorry I've not been able to play more of your games, it's been a challenging month still getting to grips with a new job and learning a lot!

Here's an in progress of the new level sprites - I'm working on the movement and the level design.

Fixed stuff ( mostly) includes :m:

• Addition of beetles on carpets
• New UI / help stuff
• Improved camera
• New Queen animations

Fire Breathing Dragon with the flu.

Well that's my game done, what an amazing experience!

Progress. Where to, I dunno.

I failed to do one of my favourite parts, which is music and sound fx, but I still have a somewhat (*) working game.

We're moving house, so had to fit in amongst packing boxes / sorting etc. :smile:

I don't know how the pro's do it, maybe they have a dedicated editor, or a program to edit out boring bits.

This is the first few ours evolution from boxes to somewhat working game mechanic.

I hope to have new levels with SFX / Music and new puzzle elements released by the weekend.

The engine I'm using is Construct 2 , which has been superseded , but I've yet to start using it.
