This is a kitten game I made for the GMTK 2021 game jam.

The web browser version above was made after the jam and contains some small changes. I didn't really have the motivation to add features I wanted, like a soundtrack, a save feature, and customizable controls. I think it is still a cute game.

Since there's no saving, try to complete it in one sitting. Unless you get really stuck because it's too hard, it probably won't take more than an hour (?)

Instructions and Tips

The game has strange mechanics. Maybe you want to figure them out yourself. If not, here are some tips.

  • Make a Kitten Connection by touching kittens without landing on the ground. Something good will usually happen.
  • You can air-jump when touching Burgers and DarkGemstones.
  • Touching Burgers and DarkGemstones will increase Combo which increases jump height and movement speed. Combo is reset when you land on ground.
  • Pressing Up or X will let you jump.
  • Interact with Magic Mirrors and Doors by pressing Down or C. Also pressing Down or C will pick up certain items like Keys and other great items.
  • If you get in a bad situation, Escape or R will let you rewind time. Hold both buttons to rewind more quickly.
  • Sometimes it's difficult to proceed and you might need to think about your approach in a different way.

Jam Version

The jam version is available for download (Windows only) if you are curious. There are some bugs and differences:

  • The stars can be collected repeatedly. Collecting them a second time doesn't do anything though.
  • I accidentally put in more keys than locked doors.
  • Instead of the rewind system, there's a room-reset button that works kind of strangely.
  • Some of the screens are a bit harder and some of the secrets are a bit harder to find.
  • You cannot use X and C for jumping and interacting, only Up and Down.

"You don't even have a weapon to slice me open with, how pathetic. Begone." I like this interaction that makes you think at first that you managed to do something sneaky and unintended but the game is like... nope. Did not even think to do the thing that would get me that message on my first 2 playthroughs.


Also this is a very good Sylvy game.

How do you beat the game? I've only gotten the 'bad' ending...

The other ending can be obtained after finding three flowers in the world. You probably saw one flower while exploring but the other two are somewhat more hidden.

Ah. I'll have to look for them then.

Also, (you probably know) you can get an infinite combo by jumping on a burger or crystal of the screen back onto it, and if you do it on the screen underneath the evil person, you can just kinda build up enough speed to clip through the pink light wall thing, and get stuck (if you forget about rewind, which I did)... Also the combo wraps around to 1 after reaching 99 which's neat.

I got the good ending now.

It was tricky but fun.

Also, you patched it so you can get combos over 100! Now I gotta go for 999 ;)

I actually don't remember changing anything about combos! I must have done it by accident, or something. Thanks for playing!

You're welcome! It's a good game (like the rest of the ones you've made).
