Defying Instincts
This game submission is for the GMTK Game Jam 2021
Note: There is a Hint section below in case you get stuck, alternatively, for the almost last day of the Jam, I am including a full walkthrough for the game in case you're still stuck and really want to finish the game. Thanks for all the support!
You play as a cat called Knúria and you are hurting a harmless bird that has babies and has been collecting food for them. After realizing what you have done, you decide to help the birdie get to its home, for which you have to cross:
- The most dangerous living room of all times
- The goriest and most horrible kitchen you have ever seen
Going through the kitchen window will allow Knúria to make its way to the garden and reunite Birdie with its offspring.
Controls:
WASD - Arrow keys: | Move |
Space | Jump |
Enter | Interact / Drop Birdie / Pickup Birdie |
Esc | Restart Current level if you get stuck |
HINTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Some hints that we would have liked to better explain inside the game, but couldn't due to time restraints (play first and get back to those if you need them):
General:
1) You can generally not make steep jumps while carrying birdie
Living Room:
2) If no one is sitting on the chair, you can jump on the seat and the rest in the living room
3) You can interact with the door handle in the living room
Kitchen:
4) You can interact with the bottom of the curtain in the kitchen
5) You need to apply sufficient speed to the scale in the right moment
If you really want to finish the game but are still stuck, feel free to send me a message, happy to help out!

This game has been made entirely during the 48 hours of the Game Jam by myself and a friend. I hope you enjoy it!
