Created for GMTK Game Jam 2023, roles reverse in this chaotic, fast-paced, and CATastrophic eldritch experience!

As an Eldritch monster from the eternal void, play through levels from the mind of the great old one. The Ball of Cathulhu is a single player platformer game where you play as an Eldritch cat on a skateboard that controls the map with its own mind. Defy the odds and goes from point A to point B.

Controls are WASD and Esc for pause

Very cute....like kitty sonic....not that weird first version cat sonic movie scene, but like a good one! Nice work! A little tricky with the controls, but nice!

Why is it so cute?! I really enjoyed how satisfying it was to catch some really good air after hitting the red and white circles. I also really enjoyed the meow button. Well done!!

Idk what to make of this one. Just the constant movement and the graphics make me feel ill but there is a lot of thought and effort put into it to make it work.
I think what I am trying to say is that it lacks a lot of polish...

Agreed! There is a lack of polish and it must have been our main goal before focusing on various other features. Thank you for noticing the effort! Hopefully, we will update the game play and optimize for a better player experience :3
