A casual game where you watch the adventures of cute kittens. All lines in the game are represented by icons. We aim to create designs that are friendly to all humankind, with no nuance lost in translation. The game itself is simple, just tap and jump at the right time. The difficulty level is not that difficult, so I'm sure you can clear it too! This is a new work by an author nominated at the INDIE Live Expo Awards 2022. I hope you enjoy it!
