Neko Ghost, Jump!

I think there's potential here but it's not there at the moment. A lot of things are unexplained, the mechanics are janky, and there's not an option that plays how I want it to. First off the unexplained things. What is the difference between Action and Casual mode? The only thing I saw is that the leaderboards are global in action mode and local in casual, but there's no reason to have an entirely different mode just for this. There's also times when I got hit by the first boss without anything seeming to actually hit me? So it makes me wonder if the ghost form has a hurtbox but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Also the menu icons are very difficult to follow, I got stuck in a loop sometimes figuring out what did which thing. The jankiness. When jumping, sometimes the cat stutters when you complete a jump. This screwed me over so much in any combat situation because I was stuck wobbling for a bit and it's not really clear when exactly this happens. In a platformer focused on speedrunning it's not really acceptable. The jump boost doesn't really seem to be clear or precise in how it works either which is essential to speedrunning and collectables. Now possibly my biggest gripe with the game, the fact that it gates off the bosses for you to get "paws" and there's no way to turn this off. I thought this is what casual mode would've done, but I was very disappointed after playing through again (wish there was a way to change modes mid run) to figure out that there wasn't anything. It never explained in the game that paws even existed and I was surprised to find it was a requirement in the first place. I don't like replaying levels a ton especially when the controls don't feel good just to get every single paw, and I just ran out of patience and stamina with the game very quickly, to the point where I didn't want to replay levels that weren't very satisfying to play in the first place.

The game is a lot of fun. Love the 2D/3D option. My daughter loves the kitty's and the story is cool. Great work!!

Only through first world(boss 1 is tough and i dont get it), but a smooth feeling 3d platformer. Pretty rare to see 3D, and I am not a huge fan of the 2d swap puzzle mechanic, but so far good budget 3d game :D

"Wait, how many lives do I have? ... oh... of course!" The game offers an overdose of cuteness and is great for scratching the "I wanna keep retrying till I perfect it" itch :) I wanted to grab a copy and give it a quick try on launch day to support the dev, but I'll definitely be coming back to this one after my schedule clears up!

- Very smooth visuals - Makes you think in 2.5D - Speedruns feel very analog, every movement and timing has a huge impact on your momentum - Collectibles and fighting add to the replayability with the required paw completion for certain challenges - Challenging enough that it could be completed quickly by a pro, but you won't right away because of all the learning it will take to earn your way through the levels - High level of polish overall - Devs are responsive to feedback

Neko Ghost, Jump! is a game with a lot of potential. Despite being "Early Access" the game still suffers from some issues & bugs. Controls are way too tight for specific platforming sections along with everything feeling very mushed together. The story (if there is one) is one of the most confusing aspects as me and a friend watched in complete confusion over the opening cut-scene. I hope to change this review and give it a far more in-depth conclusion after a fair replay.

Very cute and very fun too play even though I die a lot lol.
