Four shades of green, thirty levels of regret
A game about a jumping cat
Le Gatuno started as a GBJAM 5 entry in October 2016 with ten levels and several game-breaking bugs. By January 2017 it had thirty levels, a rebuilt engine, and a spot on the Play Store.
The cat runs. You tap. It jumps, bounces off a wall, changes direction, and you tap again. Reach the fish before time runs out, collect three stars if you feel like showing off. The controls are one button; the difficulty is not.
The Play Store listing is gone. The itch.io demo still runs in a browser if you want to see what a game jam cat looks like.
