Lost Star
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
On a snowy night, a witch loses her way home and meets someone new.
Work together as a witch and her cat from space to overcome obstacles and find a way home in this challenging single-player platformer. Summon your familiar and swap places with it to reach new heights, use your broom to soar across chasms, and combine the two for acrobatic action and puzzle solving.
Includes adjustable gameplay speed. Slow things down if you want more time to think with each jump, or speed it up for an extra-fast-paced challenge.
Created for the Secret Santa Game Jam for Alkemist.

This is really fun and I like the unique puzzles that also require good platforming skills. Thanks for making it!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for the prompt, I really enjoyed making it!
It's a cool concept. I like that you can throw the cat through obstacles to get through them.
That being said. The controls are a bit confusing to me. There are too many buttons, and I was often pressing the wrong ones (and it's not natural for me that you can't jump with either up arrow or spacebar). Also it's not clear to me when I could throw the cat and when I couldn't (I guess the player emits some particles when you can) but just a simple UI icon of a cat would go a long way.
Unfortunatly the camera is bugging in some areas and at some point it was doing it so much that I was unable to finish the game (but that's a given in game jam games I guess)
Thanks a bunch for your feedback! The update just now should help smooth out some of those rough spots!
