A small puzzle game where you play as a black cat (who would have guessed!) and control the gravity.\nYou have to collect all the purple gems because… umm… well, I’m fairly certain there is a good reason for that,\nand it has something to do with beliefs related to black cats or something.
\nIdea is that you can control the direction of the gravity, and it affects all the objects on the screen (excluding fire). You need to collect all the gems you can see. If you get crushed by an object, you die. However, in some stages there are people. They cannot collect the gems, but you must keep them alive (i.e. try not to crush them with anything!).
\nAmazing presentation and great puzzle game. I always get very impressed by how you manage to take care of every single detail. It feels a perfectly finished game to place in an app store. Great work.
\nMy only suggestion is that I got stuck in level 6 because I didnt realize that when you die it goes back to your previous move, so I thought I was at the start of the puzzle when indeed I had moved one position. I got very frustrated until I hit R and discover my mistake.

Actually, I think, it is a bit too easy. In many situations there is just one possible move, so some levels that look difficult on first sight can be solved more or less automatically by a sequence of forced moves.

I was able to finish all the levels, even though I typically don’t like puzzle games, but this one was simple enough and polished.
\nI really like that when you fail a level, it doesn’t force you to start from the beginning, and you can even rewind as much as you want. It’s a simple detail that made this puzzle game much more enjoyable for me.
\nSimilar to your other entry, music would have been nice it you could fit it in, but overall this is a really solid entry!

\nAlso didnt think id talk about a title card in one of these games but the title card is fantastic! The overall look reminds me of classic Harvest Moon strangely enough.
\nYou added a few more levels and some more sound and this could be a small release on Steam!
\nGreat work!

The difficulty is very well-balanced - it’s challenging, but satisfying. The animation is incredibly lively and pleasant, especially for such a LARGE pixel art style, and the color palette is gorgeous.
\nIt’s excellent that the game progress is saved.
\nThe only thing really missing is some atmospheric music to tie it all together.
