A very cute and fast game with a really soft and cozy experience, it's like a coop game but just you and you're cat, it was really fast but really nice, some puzzle are really interessting and the use of new mechanics is really nice but might be a little missing, on this aspects after spending some times throught the rooms the game gets a little less interressting. But except that, i have nothing else to add, thank you for that cozy experience !1 found this helpful
Moving both characters around while solving puzzles was such a pain in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass I bailed on the fifth level. Change the colour of this bench to the colour of another bench that shares the same number, move two characters to see if it worked, oops not the right bench but don't forget to jump over the pit of spikes that's invisible until you get close to it yuck
great game. deserves more attention
lovely little adventure. nothing that extraordinary, but i always like single-player co-op.
Soft feeling soundtrack accompanies the style and game excellently. I know you're meant to play this single player but I played it locally so one person controlled the astronaut and one the cat and it was quite enjoyable together. The hand drawn pixel graphics are pretty and evoke a feeling of a time past while the puzzles are simple enough to not get stuck on or frustrated while playing. Exploring the planet and lab was neat. At the ever wonderful price of free AND steam achievements on top of it? I'll always recommend.
The light mechanic can be a bit annoying and punishing. But the rest of the game is a nice little puzzle game with a funny little cat.
