is there a web version, i would love to purchase a site-lock for hoodamath.com
Is there anyway or progress on getting this game on mobile? I've been watching a lot of people play it and its really interesting! Just if you don't mind answering, but it's all up to y'all! :
Been playing this game on stream, truly engaging and satisfying!
FYI there's a dodgy ripoff on the Play store using your art and title:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googleGame.littleToTheLift
Thanks so much for reporting this! We are aware of this ripoff and have been trying to get Google to remove it, but unfortunately they've not been helping us.
If you're so inclined, please consider reporting the app, as it may help us with our case if others are reporting it as well.
Thank you so much for your support!
it's gone
Any chances for an itch.io release? I don't use Steam. ._.
yes pls
Hi there, thanks for your request! We'll do some investigation as to what our options are with an itch.io release.
Thank You! I'll be looking forward to that. :D
I too wish for this. While I use steam, you never truly own a game on there so if you could get it from here that would be amazing.
I love organizing stuff, so it was really satisfying for me!
all we need is the squeal, a little to the right.
I remember I played this a year ago and loved it. Y'all have added so much! I love the addition of the cat :)
Are there any plans to release the full game here on itch.io?
do you have any plans or a date for an iOS release? I showed my mom this game on steam and she really loved it but she is not a gamer so the only way she could play it is on her iPhone or iPad. I’ve bought it twice now once on steam and once on switch of it comes out on iOS I’ll be getting it again for my mom on her iPad
Would you recommend this on Switch or PC? I really want to get it and I'm going to but I'm wondering what system I should get it on- It looks like it would be easier to navigate on a PC.
I can't find the ost anywhere... Are you planning on releasing it in the future? It's too good not to!
can you buy this on any other platforms then steam and switch
The game is currently only available to buy on Steam and Switch.
would you ever consider other platforms in the future
Absolutely! We'd love to bring the game to other platforms. Stay tuned!
My wife and I are dying to play this on our android phones!!!
MAKE THE DEMO AVAILABLE AGAIN! I wanted to show my family some of this before i actually bought the game and now I cant. You need to leave a demo up so people can see before buying!
yes
YES
Is this demo no longer available? It's not showing anything available to install. Will you be making it available again in the future?
Hello, thanks for your feedback! The original demo was quite out of date from the launch version of the game, and needs to be updated. We have been busy with post-launch maintenance, but will take a look at assessing what's involved in getting an updated demo.
Howdy, wanted to thank y'all for an amazing game. I'd also like to encourage you to consider adding a colorblind mode to the full release of the game. Certain puzzles are next to impossible without help if you're colorblind. Thank you for your time.
Hi there, we appreciate your feedback. We recognize that the color based puzzles cause difficulties for those who have colorblindness, and we will give some thought as to how we might be able to make those puzzles more accessible.
amazing!!
Loved the demo, can not wait for this on Switch! Do you have a estimated date for its release there? I have only found August suggested and then November for PC.
LOVED THIS !! it is adorable and the foley is so relaxing to me. added it to my wishlist immediately and will definitely buy the full game on the 8th :)
thank you for making this inaccessible to those without windows or linux
Hi there, are you on Mac? If so, we're aware that there's an issue with the app saying it's "damaged" when trying to launch it on OSX.
You have two options:
1) Launch the game via the Itch.io app
2) Use the steps outlined in the Install Instructions.
Apologies for the inconvenience, this will be resolved for the full release.
If you have another problem with accessibility, please feel free to add more detail to your comment. Thanks!
Hello, developer. Do you have any plans to make this game for mobile? I found people reviewing your game on social media. I really want to play your game but I can't play your game, because I don't have a computer or macbook.
Hi! Yes, A Little to the Left will be releasing for iOS and Android. Stay tuned to our socials for announcements on when those will be available!
Seems like there's a scammy knockoff version on the App Store right now. Having not played the original, it was confusing (and bad)! Probably not much you can do except get the right version out for mobile :)
does anyone know how many levels the current demo has 🧎
10 levels in the demo!
Even though the cat was annoying at times, this game was simply incredible. I suffer with both autism and ADHD and this game just seemed to fufill every single one of my needs. I am so so excited for the full game !
Yay, thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
The cat has been tamed down for the main game, so hopefully any annoyance is now just fun.
I hate you so much i wanted to play this game
without downloading stupid steam
Hello there, sorry your experience with getting the game up and running was no so good. We're unsure what issue you experienced- did the game ask you to install Steam when you tried to launch it?
yes
wow this was so cute! i really enjoyed placing everything into the correct spot and the small interruptions of the cat was adorable. it really adds such a level of fun trying to work against a cat!
i really like the look of the game and want to play it but it cant convert to an app it just says _mac instead of .app i cant figure it out
Hi there, sorry for the late reply!
Unfortunately Mac is displaying an "app damaged" error when opening from the download, but there is a workaround that can be found in the "Install Instructions". We're working on getting this resolved. Sorry for the issue!
I'm pretty sure this game on the appstore has taken your demo entirely to put in their game. It's under the name put them in right - organizing and I saw it on tiktok and then when playing realized I recognized the artstyle. Just thought you should know in case it is stolen. Ive included a screenshot from the game to help.
Thanks for letting us know! We're aware that they have stolen our concept and artwork, and are seeing what options we have to resolve.
pls this game was SO cute. the cat is such a little troll. i think having different levels of difficulty might help - it took me a few tries to get the table setting right, which i thought was funny but might frustrate other players. but srsly, such a fun and adorable game! reminded me of unpacking, but with cat ;3
Hi there, thanks for your feedback, we're so glad you liked the game!
We are aware that the cat is a bit too tough in the demo, so we've eased their ferocity for the main game :)
This game just released so much endorphins into my brain....and then whiskers showed up 😑
I like how the cat ruin the mood, my cat also do that in real life HAHAHAH, waiting for the full game <3
the cat was really annoying. ruined the peaceful experience :(
We are tweaking the cat so it's less challenging to deal with, stay tuned!
eu vi vídeos fofos e divertidos desse jogo mas é uma pena que não dê pra baixar no Android
Estaremos lançando no Android em uma data posterior
muito obrigada 😀
I loved the first few levels! till the cat on level like 4 or 5 started messing things up. got me really stressed and confused since my computer is laggy other then that I love this game!
Hi there Mae, glad you liked it! Sorry you found the cat stressful, we've put some work into make it a bit more accessible and somewhat less of a nuisance ;)
this was super super calming and fun :)
super cute and fun it was a bit tricky but i liked it! great art designe and overall, a 10/10
Very fun and surprisingly challenging to get the full star rankings for some of them! I will definitely get this on switch when it gets ported!
Very cute and fun! This game seems to have a lot of potential, I will surely have it on my wishlist 🧡 (Pt-BR)
Great game def recommend!!
I really enjoyed the game, it is probably the most relaxing game I've played without feeling bored after a few levels.
However, I tend to get really invested in anything when I'm receiving some sort of "grading", and even if that makes me enjoy a bit more the games, in this case it felt so stressing trying to figure how could I get 2 or 3 stars, specially when after a while I can't figure out a right answer (for example, trying colors with the books) and the hint is pointing me out the method I already got right.
Hi, thanks for playing our demo- so glad that you like it!
The extra stars are "hidden" solutions that are in most cases are a bit trickier to find- you'll have to be very observant to uncover them! You may also be able to find some help from the community over on our Steam Community Hub.
We appreciate your feedback and will consider your suggestions. Thanks for sharing!
