I played it through twice, despite being frustrated by it, so I did like the game. However, even with the small delay, I met with some glitching with jumping after being respawned at the beginning of the level, I'd be willing to bet I lost about 50 deaths on that alone.
I also had some issues with my hitting the space bar resulting in a jump at all, though some of that may be attributed to my slower/laggy computer. The music was great, and some slightly different victory music would have been awesome once I won. One last suggestion would be to make sure the colors contrast enough, that last level was especially tough to squint at.
(Made top 20 on today and the week's scoreboard. Cool!)
5/5, 8/10 The eight comes from lack of an ending/boss fight & repetitive background music, but overall, I definitely liked this game a lot.
I really enjoyed this game the whole time I played it, despite its simplicity. Even though you say it was put together quickly, it's evident that you did put effort into it. The first few waves/levels/introductions of new enemies felt really good; just as I was getting used to one, something new came along to catch me off guard. Maybe continue to introduce new enemies, phasing out the 'easier' ones from early levels as Longcat progresses.
Definitely think you can find some great music on-site/collab with an NG music artist to amp up the music/atmosphere of the game. While I caught a few of the references, a few more "well-known" internet memes would be a nice touch.
A sequel including more cat-lore (ex: Ceiling, Basement, Monorail cat, etc.) or internet memes (Courage Wolf, Pedo Bear) just for fun would be hilarious. More "aim and shoot" controls, power-ups and different attacks/weapons would all be great improvements. Looking forward to the return of Longcat. :D
I liked the barcode scanning and the play wasn't too hard-- maybe up the difficulty a little bit and let the rooms be more interactive without dealing with the plot. For example, in the bathroom; let a click flush the toilet, turn on the sink, swish the curtain. Just for fun. Definitely liked it, maybe a little more sound or some eerie music to set the mood.
Concept is great and I like the idea but the execution seems lackluster. Now, it could be my computer but it felt like it took forever to get the boxes to fade out so I could see the picture clearly.
The music was only so-so, I muted it halfway through and got bored with it a few levels in. Just wasn't as fun as I thought it would be, but it's not a bad game for those with more patience.
Might have just been my computer, but it seemed a little slow. Definitely loved the dream endings/beginnings and the choose your own adventure type of storyline.
I got all five, though I think a little more variation would be fun. Looking forward to more-- and H.P. Lovecraft is definitely an awesome inspiration.
That was so awesome, I've been looking forward to the conclusion of this for a while. Sweet and great and a perfect end. Favorite, definitely a series I would (and will) watch over and over again.
Fantastic job, please don't stop making flash, the art is cute and smooth and totally amazing.

WTF
Animation was creepy but pretty good in that style. Got me shaking my head wondering what the hell happened, but... 3/5, 7/10.

That was crazy
Ridiculously hard. Loved it though. Some of it got too difficult, but I'm sure most people appreciated the difficulty. Nice game.
4/5, 8/10

Pretty good
Especially loved the fact that the music was Kirby, was it not?
