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 !
This sounds like a great game but the execution is horrible. First, you cannot reassign control. It may not seems to be a big deal, until you accidentally realised that "R", which is next to "E" (Use), is for restarting the level WITHOUT WARNING. I've accidentally restarted the game more times than I ever needed it to. In fact, after you're dead, you MUST use the mouse to click the restart button, as the "R" is not working at this point. Other than trolling the player, I don't see any use of the "R" at all. Second thing is, there are virtually no check point, so even if you make a tiny mistake near the end of the level, or your curiosity get the best of you to check some extra thing, sorry you have to replay the whole level again. Unfortunately, the negative point of the game far out-weighted anything this game can offer. Despite it being free, I can't really recommend it.

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.
A bit awkward to control with one person but a decent and cute little puzzle platformer.
This is a solid puzzle platformer. Its on the short side (5 levels, 6 if you include both parts of level 4). Its unique because you control 2 characters simultaneously that you will need to help each other out and progress. And one of the characters is a cute f*cking cat!
It's cute
Bastante corto, pero disfrutable
So adorable, 10/10 Would 100% recommend
