How it feels

A gentle, lonely journey through a barren planet, made warm by a small cat companion and soft pixel art.

What players say

Players praise this as a short, cozy puzzle platformer where you control an astronaut and a cat. Some find the dual-character controls awkward and the lack of checkpoints punishing, while others enjoy the unique premise and free price.
