5 minute nice puzzle game (All game during this time) Not bad but probably too short
Such a fun spin on a classic genre. Plus I love the old school graphics choice. Can't wait to see what's next!
Bardzo fajna retro gra – krótka i łatwa, ale przyjemna. Czekam na kolejne poziomy!

A short and simple puzzle game with so much heart. Didn't expect to enjoy these puzzles so much, and what do you mean this game is free?
This Feline is Phantasmic and these rooms are puzzling. If you like puzzles and spirits, feel Free to Play it as I have!
Kurzweiliges Neoretro Puzzle Jump&Run. Nicht zu schwierig; in einer halben Stunde ist man durch.
if I had a nickel for every time I played a puzzle game with a ghost and a cat I'd have two nickels. not a lot but this is pretty dang cool for a free puzzle game :D Can't wait to see if/when you guys make longer projects - this is super cute!
Phantom Feline is a very short & free puzzle game, with 8 single screen levels in Game Boy-style graphics and music. The mechanic - being able to transform into a floating shadow when in lamplight - is promising and well implemented, though the puzzle levels here aren't long or intricate enough to demonstrate whether this transformation would be sufficient on its own for a longer game. I am too old for the Game Boy era though my (now grown-up) children certainly enjoyed them, but this style of game is too dependent on quick reactions and even quicker key pressing for me, so my recommendation to try it is for others with more nimble reactions.

First 8 free levels are very fun and cute. Waiting for more!
