Hey, I like your game nd it has a lot of potential, but the main issue i have with this is the camera it follows the player slowly and because of that the main cause of death i found was because i couldn't see where i was going and this becomes frustrating since it sends you to the beggining of the game.

normally, in a sidescroller the camera wil be in front of the character and show more of the screen of where you are going and hide where you've been since i.

Other than that, level design wise, you made interesting and fun choices with the bouncers and some gaps, I'd recommend you raise some ceilings (For example in the area where the first spike dropped) so that the player doesn't bonk it's head against the wall.

It's a good proof of concept for a jam so good job.

I had a lot of fun! Even though it has that classic platformer vibe, I really enjoyed the theme and the 'meow' mechanic. I’m not sure I used it correctly, but it was still a great experience. Congrats!

I caught the mouse on my last life! The camera movement makes it difficult at times, like during the elevator or the first bridge jump, but the animations for the characters were charming - especially the cat bopping during its idle animation. It was worth the 5 minutes!

I basically had the exact same feedback about the game that Nathaniel has listed out. I also didn’t really feel it did justice to the theme but that’s okay. It was cute and I had fun. It did surprise me that after all that practice I was actually able to capture the mouse way before the elevator. But I see that was deliberate to keep difficulty low, so fair enough. I guess some more mechanics would have also been nice to see because right now its basically just a generic platformer, albeit a charming one.

You asked for feedback on the game page, so here are the things I would suggest changing:
1) move the first pit trap a bit more to the right - because of how the camera moves with the scene transition, I found it hard to smoothly dodge this trap, even though I knew it was coming (it seems the best time to hit space is as the camera is moving, but instinctually I wait for the camera to finish moving, and then it's too late):
2) keep the camera with the player on the elevators - I thought I hit a random bug when the camera suddenly jumped;
3) make the elevators more visually distinct from regular platforms - there was no suggestion that the elevator wasn't just another platform, or that I should expect something different to happen;
4) similarly, either make all the white platforms bounce, or make the final one look different - they all look the same, so it feels a bit frustrating when your rhythm is thrown off because the last one doesn't bounce for some reason.

Other than that, good job.
It's nice cute little game.
:)

First off, the meow made me genuinely laugh out loud, love it, was a bit on the quiet side though! The game is a bit harsh and i'm bad at this, but maybe reduce the size of the hitbox, i had a couple of deaths where i was fairly sure i didn't hit the spikes. The artwork i love, but maybe figure something out to make certain elements a bit more visible, i died  a lot on the first collapsing platform. Love the mood and lighting effects. Overall a fun little game, i enjoyed it!  

i managed to catch the rat!  Love this game

I finally caught the rat, there's a small glitch near the elevator. It teleports your camera up, but if you  jump off the camera stays up and you don't see the cat for a few seconds. Other then that it's really fun. I like the unique message you get for every death (yes I died more then 9 times)

I caught it pretty fast, 16 seconds

also i love the cat walk and idle animation, looks like its bopping to the beat :D

also i tried to refresh the page when i lost my first life and i was very surprised when it somehow remembered how much health i had left (6 lives)

But it ended too quick i think. will play more later to see if theres more levels (i might have caught it too early to see anything more)

Very nice!
