My first game is about my cat. His name is Nivvy! He loves to play and go on adventures. This is my submission for the 'My First Game Jam: Summer 2023.' 

controls: 

  • Arrow keys - to move left and right
  • X - to jump

credits:

I learned a lot from Nerdy TeachersSpaceCatLexaloffle  because of their platformer game tutorials.

I used assets from dejotakGvituriElectricLemonPrettyPinkPansyThetgi.  

And Appsir Games as my biggest inspiration to make this game.


All donations from this game will be used for cat food and treats for Nivvy! <3

Please enjoy!

Like what you've done so far, like the art style and the retro feel to it. If there is any feature to add in the future it's a press button to Meow :) Not sure how you'd go about making an 8-bit meow but just a suggestion... 

This was one of the things I researched for days and I can't let the code run, I know I was missing something but I was out of time already. Definitely will look into this for the next game! thankyou!

I think most of us encountered "the wall" at some point, getting sound to play in my project was a big headache in my project but we'll figure it out. Will keep a lookout for the next game! 

Thankyou so much!

really like the game I actually enjoying playing it on my phone

Thank you very much! <3

Was a very cute game I enjoyed the concept and visuals quite a bit! I wish that the controls felt better, the player slides around too much imo and it would have been nice if you could do a smaller jump by tapping x and a longer jump by holding it. I also think the noise every time you jump gets kind of annoying, maybe a more subtle sound would be good. I really liked the level though it wasn't too hard but also wasn't too easy. Seems like you overall did a great job!

Thank you very much! I would explore these ideas for the next game! <3

Thank you very much! A rollercoaster with Pico-8! <3

Very cute! Very nice artwork, the slippery controls make for just about the right amount of challenge! Loved it <3

Thank you very much! <3

very nice concept, i liked it. it would be cool if you could interact with the environment, like to throw vases or to meow humans

Thank you very much!

That was one of my rollercoasters when I did it. I was having a hard time making the code to work for the interaction in the environment, and I was running out of time because of the jam deadline. I will take note of this, too! meowing to humans. <3 thank you!

Dark room was tough but I enjoyed it. I really liked the cat, so few pixels but enough detail to reflect the likeness of a cat. Fantastic Job!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! thank you! <3

This was really charming :>

It would be neat if there were little messages that popped up from individual things you pass (like the people and stuff).

Thankyouu! <3
That was the one of the things I had been searching on for days, but the code just won't work, and I was running out of time because of the jam deadline. :( I will in the update or the next game! Thank you!

Any clues to jump in dark room?

there's always a way that we can get out of the dark, we just don't see them.

I tired to play it but I can't jump :(

It says for Joystick detected but I have 0.

 

I'm sorry for this, I don't know how to fix this, this is my first game. I also haven't testing it using a joystick.

I don't have a joystick connected, so that's why I wondered about the message that 4 were detected ^^.

Maybe you can add the controls to the description on the page?

oh, yes! thank youu for that! I'll add it on the description. <3

Sweet - Now I can play :D

yey! please enjoy!
