It's so fun to freely create strange creatures!

Sometimes you can create something cute amidst the strangeness, and you even grow attached to the weird ones, meow~

Ah, what a wonderful concept—this game is so much fun to play!
The combination of the photo booth countdown mechanic and searching for all kinds of poses had me playing it over and over again (though I still haven’t found the “drooling” pose).
And even though the gameplay changes every time, the beautiful art always fits perfectly, making each title unique and absolutely fantastic!

my playthrough

Ahhh, what a lovely piece of art!
Just seeing Mochi standing happily in the mountains makes me happy. (Of course, the owner will probably get very worried and come looking for him afterwards!)
And the object-finding game was great because it made this beautiful watercolor world three-dimensional, allowing me to appreciate the artwork for longer.
Especially after zooming in, I was impressed that even though the art style is quite stylized, it felt so three-dimensional.
I can't wait for the next installment! I'm really rooting for you!

If I could ask for one more thing, I'd love to pet Mochi!
Also, I'd love to see a little bit of the watercolor painting process. (Sorry if that's rude.)
I love the Blackbird series and joined the Discord server because of it, and I was so moved when I saw the photos of the Ignore the Blackbird making process there!

As always, despite being a small-field puzzle, it had various gimmicks and challenges, making it enjoyable to play from start to finish.

I was able to complete your game to the end for the first time in a while! I'm so happy!
The difficulty level increased almost linearly up to the second ending, and I was overwhelmed with emotion, thinking, "This is the limit of what my brain can solve!! It was just the right difficulty!!" But then, it was hinted that there was a third area, plunging me into a state of both excitement and despair.
However, the third area consisted of unreleased puzzles and unique gameplay elements, and the difficulty level wasn't high, so I was able to play it with great relaxation.
Playing this third area after the two endings, having become accustomed to Taulu's puzzles, was incredibly fun!

my playthrough

There are so many different kinds of rabbits, and they're all so cute 🐇❤

I really love the overall atmosphere of the island!

Fulfilling the rabbits' requests was a real struggle at first because I didn't know how to grow the plants, but the process of figuring it out was so much fun!

Meow!
At the end of last year, I participated in a drawing chat where we drew characters from games that left a lasting impression on us that year, and I drew Pipin and Momo, so I'm posting them here!

Ahhh, what beautiful art! And it's even animated with Live2D!
The facial expressions have quite a few variations, which is great.

Spoiler

Mary is crazier than expected, but the story works so well because Hazel is just as calm and vigilant.
It might be a different meaning than "toxic yuri," but in Japan there's a term called "crazy psycho lesbian." For some reason, that term came to mind.

The jelly cat is so cute, all squishy and jiggly!
At first I didn't really understand how to play, but once I figured it out, it became so much easier!
It's so much fun that different dishes are added with each stage!
The cat hamburger was so cute!

Every chapter had a great atmosphere, was unique, and was very enjoyable.
I especially liked the place where you could see chess pieces in the distance; it had a great sense of openness.
The story was complex, so I only vaguely understood it, but that's probably due to my cat-like intelligence...
The pace of the story was determined by the length of the locations and the weight of the dialogue, so there were some scenes that felt redundant, like the scene with the two birds.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it very much, meow!

my playthrough

The idea of fishing with a gun, the inventory system, it was so much fun!
As mentioned in the game balance warning, the balance was practically nonexistent, but that made it interesting because the strong and weak guns were clearly separated.
The sadness of buying a submachine gun was hilarious.
It was a great gaming experience, meow~

I struggled with the final boss and my wall dash didn't work properly at times, but I managed to clear it!

All the bosses were unique and fun!

At first, I didn't really understand the rules, so I watched the cute movements of the little creatures and learned the rules as I played!

Upgrading cooking equipment adds more steps, so if you get it early on, it can get a bit stagnant and difficult.

The atmosphere was really great!

I played for about two hours. From the beginning of the game to clearing the first playthrough, the screen was filled with chaos from start to finish, with all sorts of gimmicks appearing at a dizzying pace, making it an incredibly exciting experience until the very end!

And even after playing this much, there are still so many mysteries hidden. It feels like I've only just begun to see a glimpse of the whole picture, which is incredibly fun!

I'm going to keep playing, meow~!

What a wonderful yet slightly melancholic story…
The almost entirely monochrome visuals and the emotions conveyed through the understated, understated narrative deeply moved me.

Also, I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know about Letters from a Cat until I played this game. To think such a wonderful work existed 150 years ago! When I saw the cat in the illustration, it reminded me of Dayan the Cat, my favorite Japanese cat story.

I really love the overall atmosphere of the game!

I couldn't do a backflip, but I managed to reach the top!

The varied terrain made for a great run around, and I had so much fun!
I completely forgot about gathering sheep and just barked on the high ground, and tried crawling on my butt with the F key—so many fun experiences!
I fell and fainted a few times, and the floor gave way and I fell into another dimension, but I managed to gather all the sheep!

Also, this is a video of me playing on stream.
It's an older version, so the camera shakes a lot, but it was a really great dog adventure!

I really enjoyed the wonderful story and the beautiful hand-drawn art!
I loved the witch's slightly socially awkward and timid demeanor.
I hope the power of hot cocoa helps her become friends with more people! ☕️✨️

What a super fun checkers game experience!
There are lots of different pieces, but they're easy to remember by their appearance, which is great.
The moles were so cute and I was filled with joy, but they were a little difficult to use, so I kept them in reserve.
I realized how powerful the king's ability to increase action points and the totem's wave attack were, so I rushed through to the end!
I'm really looking forward to the new version! So excited, nya~!

It was a gigantic structure, so big you couldn't see the edges, and it had a great atmosphere!

I might have gotten lost in various places before finally arriving, but somehow I made it to the goal via a single path.

Great megastructure exploration experience!

A girl with animal ears filled the screen and she was so cute!

But clicking was so difficult my butt exploded!

My butt exploded, but I felt a great sense of accomplishment and was very satisfied, meow!

It's great that there are so many different rooms!

During gameplay, my butt almost exploded from having to keep pressing the button for so long.

But luckily, I found what seemed like the correct solution quite early on! meow~!!

The little bird platformer is fun!

The flapping gameplay was great, but the timing was difficult, and I often couldn't reach high places, which made it challenging!

But I managed to do it! Meow!

The combination of incremental and puzzle games is interesting!

I invited a friend to play with me.
It was so much fun watching the cats snuggle up to each other!
It also supports online play, which made it very easy to play.
It was a great experience with cuddly cats!

The colors of the original Game Boy combined with the peaceful beach atmosphere was really great meow!!!

And, The whale is lovely & cute!

The movements are agile and the controls are difficult, but upgrading abilities was fun!

I managed to find all the ore, yay!

It was interesting how the world changed from a cute and gentle one with the first animals to something terrifying.

The ending wasn't a happy one, was it...?

What a quiet and peaceful atmosphere this game has...
I was deeply moved.
At first, I doubted whether this game was truly cozy, and I even wondered if the protagonist's eye movements while sleeping and his actions were actually some kind of stalking. But by the end, I was ashamed of having thought that!
This game is a game of deep love!

After finishing the game, I even thought of the Carpenters' song, Solitaire.

Meow!
The shooting stages were so much fun with a mix of cute and strange enemies!
I also enjoyed the story in the adventure part!
The alien episode was incredibly exciting, with the climactic scenes and the musical shifts perfectly matched!
It was super super super fun!

MROOOOOW!

What a cute game!
It's interesting how what makes a cat happy isn't necessarily what makes a human happy.
The best cat experience ever! Meow!

A truly beautiful 3D map!

It was a great game that made you feel the biting cold of winter!

my playthrough

I love 3D ball games!

The idea of a ball navigating platforms floating in outer space is truly thrilling.

The stages were amazing with their abundance of gimmicks! I especially enjoyed using the ground's grappling as a starting point for super dashes!

The five characters, each with a different art style, and their weapons, all have unique and wonderful appearances!
The blue magical girl is my favorite!
Regarding combat, the shotgun, which can attack multiple enemies simultaneously, was very easy to use.
The railgun was super cool, but it was a little difficult to use.

The whole screen was filled with the fun of a quiz show, it was such a great atmosphere!

The quiz was at a good difficulty level, and the 50% correct answer rate made it really interesting.

And stacking the prizes high was the best!!!! The gnome's behavior was so sneaky!

The game had a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere with rustling leaves, drifting clouds, the sound of wind, and birdsong! It was absolutely lovely!

And the final message left me with a mix of sadness and warmth.

A truly wonderful piece of work!

I accidentally played v0.1!
Please note that the impressions I'm writing here may have changed, so take them with a grain of salt.

The room's atmosphere is absolutely wonderful! The galaxy visible from the window reminds me of drifting through space, which is great.
Growing plants takes quite a bit of time, so it was a lot of work, but it was really fun when I could combine the harvested items further.
A lovely game!

my playthrough v0.1

Ahhh, the cuteness of the conversation scenes with the customers is truly unique!
The art is great, and the moving background props are also wonderful!
Programming the melody for the music box was incredibly difficult!
Especially the percussion; I couldn't distinguish the sounds and was defeated.
There was also a bug where the pitch would be off if I started playing from the middle (though that might be due to my environment).

Also, I'll secretly leave my streaming gameplay video here in case it's helpful, meow~

my playthrough

A game filled with amazing 3D artwork!
Although it's a game from over 5 years ago, the GPU load was just about manageable even on a current mid-to-low-end PC configuration.
I realized that amazing artwork can make a game entertaining just by walking through its world.

Like Kirby's Dream Land, the sprites and music have a sparkling, cute atmosphere, but the difficulty level is high, making it a very rewarding game!
The Finale stage, in particular, took me almost 40 minutes to clear!
But it was so, so much fun!

I absolutely love Poni holding the greatsword in the movement screen!
It was so cute with her adorable appearance, like Chiikawa!
I feel like all the answers were wrong for the last stage. Maybe my calculations are wrong!
