\nNice short game (but i had to retry 4 times until i won)
\nI like the graphics style, the controls could be a little smoother (i.e. ease in-out the acceleration of the mouse instead of 100% and 0% speed, and move it a bit to the side instead of keeping it stuck on a corner-pixel)\nThe cats sometimes saw and shotme through the walls :-)
\nThe bossfight is pretty hard, but in the end i won, hehe.
\nGreat job!

The collisions are a little off sometimes but not to the point where the game is unplayable. I think you should work this game out into a bigger adventure! It has a lot of good things going for it! May God bless you and thank you for making your game!

Packing this game in 13k was a bit hard this time, I cut down so many things, and this version is very different from the original one. I am planning to put that one as the Directorās cut later too. And maybe if more people like it I would love to expand it in the future.

It took a few tries but finally did slay the cat. Great quality overall but a few things felt kind of scratchy. Blinking after getting hurt, for example: Itās better to make the transparent time much shorter than the opaque time. I really liked having a boxing glove gadget as a weapon, classic cartoon stuff! :)

Tried on mobile, but still It gets stuck on the corners of the blocks, you can improve it with sliding in perp axis.
\nThe control scheme using repeated SHIFT presses sometimes triggers the Windows āEnable Stick Keys?ā prompt, which was a bit distracting.

First, I canāt know how much effort youāve put on the game, so donāt mind me if I get clichĆ© or repeat ideas you simply didnāt get the time (or kb) to finish. Second, great you have finished and shipped a complete game!
\nGreat work on all systems that youāve put together. The map, the enemies, the power-ups, the dialogue system, the multiple rooms and interactive objects. Thatās a lot of game for the tiny 13kb!
\nI liked that you on top of that made all the other thing that make a game like start screen, the end screen, musicā¦ you covered a lot of ground! Even that secret passage was a total accidental surprise (and helped me avoiding the cats in front of the boss before I got the hadouken).
\nThere are some things I found tricky and I even wondered if it was worth mentioning, because with this level of care, I almost assume everything is deliberated, time constraints or simply there was no way to fix the issue within the size limit. And you made sure to be on the limit of 13kb :)
\nThe worse one was the collision boxes on the boss room. I got stuck on the door during my first two battles and lost because of that.
\nThen thereās the combat with the cats. I found it a bit too punishing. Maybe you intended for the whole point of the game to be about positioning yourself more than trying to hack and slash all the enemies, but I had probably a dozen of tries just thrown away because no matter what I did, one or two cats got to hit me together with their energy ball. I eventually started taking much more care and yet another dozen of trials I managed to get into the boss room with more than 3 hearts.
\nedit: I usually donāt read the descriptions or other feedbacks before playing the game and now I see that my game was waay harder because I was not playing on a 60Hz monitor. Oh well :P

This year I wanted to make a tiny adventure game, and fitting everything into 13kb was definitely a big challenge. Everything is handcrafted, and even designing the map at such a small scale was tricky. I tried to build the layout so players could still feel a sense of progress and exploration within the same map.
\nThe original version actually had a much bigger map and two additional enemy types (including a flying one). But for submission I had to cut down the content, which also caused some collision box issues in map. Iām planning to add this back in a ādirectorās cutā version later.
\nFor gameplay, my goal was to make sure every ability felt meaningful to progression. By the time you reach the boss fight, youāll have all abilities available, and I wanted the fight to feel challenging but fair. :)
