Amazing artwork! I canāt believe the quality of this gameāitās truly unbelievable. The attention to detail in every sprite blew me away, and the sheer amount of art you managed to include is impressive. I especially loved the idea of the different seasons; the way you reused sprites with new color palettes was incredibly smart and made the world feel fresh and alive each time. The game felt cohesive, polished, and full of personality.
\nOn top of that, the gameplay itself was really funāI found myself wanting to keep playing just to see what came next. The controls felt responsive, the pacing was spot-on, and I didnāt run into a single bug, which made the whole experience smooth and professional. This really felt like a complete, finished game, not just a jam project. Huge respect for the level of thought, creativity, and polish you put into this.

\nMy favorite part is how the music changes with the season. Really nice touch. Great graphics as well.
\nMy small nitpick is that the enemies (rock dudes and skeletons) didnāt pose much of a threat. Maybe if they took more hits or moved faster, that could be good?
\nBut thatās a small point, and this is a really incredible entry!

Not sure if the game had a particular end, a little disappointed the map was hard to navigate maybe a run button could have helped or a mini map. Otherwise nice solid adventure game.

Once in spring you can shoot them with fireballs, then they remains removed when you change season after that :) .\nI would have love more space to add more content and features ^^. Iāve added signs panel to indicates temples directions, and at start, signs to indicates where missing cats can be found

It took a while for me to figure it out how to read the instructions on the signs and to understand that I could clear out the bushes to pass, but I did find out on my own and I thought it was a cool touch to leave these hints on the game and rely on the player investigative skills. The story-telling is great, the retro aesthetics, the sprites, everything is so cool :) Great job.

Anyway, the game looks amazing :)
\nThe fact that background music has a variation for each season is incredible, especially in the size constraint we have in this game jam.\nI would love a āmeowā sound when picking up a cat :D
\nBig up for the level design, it is not an easy task to design a labyrinth/puzzle game allowing the player to switch over 4 different layouts. And it works perfectly well here!
\nVery solid entry, one of my favorite so far!

Iām absolutely in love with the pixel art and the map. A huge plus is the save feature, which lets you pick up right where you left off - Iāve been playing for two straight days in my free time! šāā¬āØ
\nThe game really encourages you to explore and think, which is completely engrossing. The only minor downside is that the music started to feel a bit repetitive after a while. But the changing seasons? Absolutely mesmerizing!

I canāt believe you managed to fit so much in it! There are so many puzzles. The use of natural obstacles to guide the player around what felt initially like an open map is really well done. Thereās not really any sense of danger, as all enemies are quite weak, but I found the whole game a joy to play. Well done.
\nThis game could definitely be released as a full game. Itās a bit rough on the edges in some places like enemies and cats just popping out of existence. Or how I would sometimes die 2 or even 3 times in a row in the same body of water because the re-spawn was too quick. This is also cause by the lack of grid-snapping. Honestly I would just make the water and the holes an obstacle instead of something that kills you, as they were just a source of frustration. Also, after playing for a while, the movement speed feels slow, as does the speed of changing seasons. I would make both faster. Or maybe movement speed could be faster in summer.

\nWould it be an option to skip the introduction if you have seen it already however?
\nOverall this game is incredibly strong for a 13kb competition. There is little to fault. Well done!

\nAbout the intro: unfortunately I had absolutely no space left in the 13kb limit. It only plays once, and I originally wanted to let players advance the text or even add a start/continue menu to replay the adventure. I also wished I could add mobile support ā maybe for a future version! š

Impressive. The music is changing depending on the season, which is a nice touch.
\nI wasnāt aware I could change seasons by pressing āspaceā on a āseason tileā, since it changes automatically the first time I step on it. Automatically changing season when stepping on a tile all the time could be an option to experiment with.

\nMusic has that definite retro vibe, and the few sound effects fit the same vibe. You could perhaps include a few more (e.g., when you manage to collect a cat), but Iām sure you were already battling size limits there.
\nTruly great work!

\nI like the dynamic of changing seasons to access different areas and gain different abilities
\nI liked the music, and the fact it changed when the seasons changed
\nThe graphics worked really well and look super good
\nMy only suggestion for a change would be a way to see how many cats you had found, or how many were left to find
