Your game is ver very fun to play: it’s dynamic, the level of difficulty is perfect, the sounds are varied and the animations are so cool. Am I dreaming: you have 1 different music for each level? Congratulations I really like your game!

Hey! Thanks for playing and glad you like it! The music is indeed randomized and changes on each level.

Cute graphics and audio, not the most original concept but well executed and with a good level design

I like the gameplay mechanics (slide until ht, key to open door, watchdogs) and the pixel graphics. Also the subtle use of particle-effects. The levels are interesting and the timing is well balanced.\nVery nice jam entry!

Great fun game - great feeling :)

Very action Sokoban - with cats … what’s not to like ? :)

Really fun game! I loved the cheerful dogs animation and the sound effects are great - they’re present and not annoying at all.

\n

Unfortunately, I ran into a bug on the desktop version (windows 11 / chrome), it froze after I completed the second level. On mobile, however, it worked perfectly! It’s really cool that each level has its own unique music and tempo. Good challenges.

\n

Great work!

Dang! Sorry about that crashing. I’ve been trying to replicate on windows / chrome but without success - any other clues? Anyways, thanks for playing and appreicate the feedback!

I like the level design. its a throwback game for sure, but well built. I like the music and aesthetics. Great job.

This is really cool! Nice graphics, music, and sound effects.

\n

The levels are well-designed and I like the variety of enemies, too (my favorite being the flashlight dog who chases you).

\n

Maybe one small thing that would have been cool to add is a ranking to go along with the other post-level stats (e.g., “A” if you finished in 10 seconds, “B” for 15 seconds)?

\n

Really fun entry!

I am terrible at these sokoban-style games but this is kind of an “action sokoban”. I enjoyed playing it, zipping around trying to avoid various enemies and escape. It looks great and sounds great too.

Really fun game

\n

I love the mechanics of the game

\n

Pixel graphics are really good

\n

I think the sound effects and music are great and work really well

\n

The spikes got me when I traveled past in the row above them?

\n

The only issue I had was playing on mobile and swiping up closed the browser

\n

Really impressive game

I love your hero graphic and gifs you added into your README.

\n

I love the transition scenes, the sound effects and music are brilliant. Only the controls could use a little improvement, they seem to be way too over the top with super fast movement - interesting concept with the controls being 1-dimensional, ie. click left and you go left as far as the screen will take you. This is a little jarring, but I understand the mechanic you’re going with in regards to number of “moves”. Maybe make the first level super easy with no loot and no enemies to get the player used to the movement. Controls on mobile were nice and fluid too.

\n

Once you get the hang of it though, it’s super addictive; especially with the sound effects and music. Nice work. I’d love to see a scoring mechanic so you can see how well you are doing and improving.

\n

Once I got to the third level however, it did glitch out for me and wouldn’t load.

Simple and challenging in an easy-to-understand way. Great game!

This was a fun game. The graphics are really cute. Usually I’m a pixel art purist but the wacky pixel art of this game looks fun and cohesive. I dig the music too and the various sound effects. I only played a couple levels, but the puzzles were nice.

\n

For a game that mostly works on the keyboard alone, it was a bit annoying that sometimes I have to use the mouse to continue. Would be nice to be able to press any key to continue. But on mobile the controls are good.

\n

While the game is fun, I felt a bit lost and nervous because some “jumps” were quite long and you never quite know where you’ll end up, or if there’s a security guard or a sentry on the other side. That part of the game felt a bit more down to luck and thus a bit less fun.

\n

This game also desperately needs a good pixel font. The blurry canvas font really takes away from the otherwise cute game design.

Very enjoyable game with a fun gameplay, and great controls even on mobile, I like it !

\n

The graphics are very cute, the music enjoyable without being too frustrating in the long run, and the levels actually challenging (I was stuck on the 6th one, this game is hard).

\n

Congratulations !
