Hey all, long time no see!

I haven't been playing any DROD lately (or many puzzle games at all), but girlfriend and I recently participated in the Thinky Game Jam 3 and ended up making a small DRODlike. Sorry for shamelessly self-promoting again, but I figured some of you guys might enjoy it

Hey, Lukas.

I wanted to give it a try. The music plays and the title screen shows. But no keys that I press cause anything to happen. I have a laptop without a numpad, which may be the issue.

Uh oh. I'm surprised you're stuck at the title screen, it should be possible to simply press space to continue. Still, I think the game might currently be unplayable without a numpad, completely forgot about that, thanks for reminding me! Will try to push an update soon.

Ah, my mistake. I was able to get past the title screen with space. It's the next screen for choosing a level where I'm soft-locked on a lappy.

Aah, gotcha, totally forgot the overworld screen needs numpad movement, too. Pushed a quick fix, now it should be possible to use 789/UO/JKL as an alternative control scheme. Thanks again for pointing it out!

Cute game. Thanks for the tenkeyless-update.

For a little optimization challenge, I tried for least cats used on each level.

Heh, should have guessed there's room for improvement here. Oh yeah, some of these were pretty silly oversights, others I guessed might be possible, but I'm pretty sure I'll leave all of them in. No idea how you did C8 yet, that's pretty impressive. Thanks for checking it out!
