Great game, I really like the movement control. I like how fluid and light they feel when running. I do feel that the wall running doesn't seem to activate every-time which is something you might want to fix, but other than that great game.
Happy that you liked it. For the wall run I don't do a good job of explaining how it works. When you jump, if you touch a wall on the upward part of the jump, your horizontal velocity becomes vertical and the cat runs up the wall. Nothing happens if you touch it while falling.
Love the game and music. The cat sprite is adorable and I like all the hidden little spots throughout the map. I was bad enough to accidentally fall on the first jump... Very fun to play!
Really glad you liked it. And you found the easter egg too :)
Cool catchy music, good controls, except the overhang on the stairs is a pain. Really fun gameplay, great job. I like that the tutorial instructions are built into the game itself - showing up the first time you encounter a different mechanic. [Minor Spoiler Alert] I like the easter eggs in the game, nice touch. One suggestion, the wall jump/climb mechanic seems a bit arbitrary - it doesn't seem to work sometimes.
I'm glad you liked it, and that you found the easter egg :)
The wall mechanic is very reliable and precise once you get the hang of it. The problem is I don't do a good job of explaining in the game how it works.
When you jump, if you touch a wall on the upward part of the jump, your horizontal velocity becomes vertical and the cat runs up the wall. Nothing happens if you touch it while falling.
This is why, if you're right next to the wall and jump the cat drops back down quite quickly, because it has little to no horizontal velocity to convert into a wall run, and why the stairs are such tricky to get right. I will look into revising that specific behaviour soon.
cool, I’ll give it another try, thanks for the reply.
Really fun and fast platformer! Super fun to try to get on the leader board and compete against your own personal best!
Hey Santa! Thanks for playing, I'm glad you like it
I love these kind of games! Finally got the top score haha!
Omg, how did you get that time??? Would love to see a video of the run. Well done!
Having a total blast with this! 🚀 The gameplay is super polished and the controls are spot on. Wall jumping is a little funky/quirky sometimes, but honestly, it just adds to the charm. Amazing job, keep it up! 🙌✨
Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad you like it. Keep an eye on it, we have more maps, more features and polish coming up in the new year
Super fun game! Solid movement and an impressive leaderboard system! The music adds quite a lot to the fast pace and is just a fun bop while trying to save time each run. I didn't expect I'd like this so much but it's just fun!
I am glad you liked it! I hope to see you back trying to crack that 30 seconds time :)
And so I took that personally. (will anyone beat my run :D)
OMG, that was insane! Well done! Let's see what the community comes up with.
