Hey there Feline Friends! 👋😸
Today we're thrilled to begin a new series of Steam posts titled 'Feline Features', where we look into a specific aspect of our kitty online party-game's game mechanics! To kickstart this series in today's steam post, we'll be covering the movement mechanics of Jumping Jazz Cats!
To have a purr-fect party experience with our game, we recommend playing Jumping Jazz Cats with a controller! However, Jumping Jazz Cats can be experienced on controller and mouse and keyboard. In the post below, we've added Keyboard & Mouse but our game can also be experienced with the gamepad of your choice.
Feline Features 1 | Moving & Zooming
We'll be starting with the very basic movements like Moving, Sprinting, and Jumping before venturing to the more exciting in-game actions like Charge Jumps, Nuzzles, and Pouncing!
So let's begin with how to move your character:
Move
To move your kitty character, use WASD.
Sprint
Press and hold Left Shift whilst moving to sprint. Sprinting depletes your stamina.
Your stamina is represented by the musical note on the lower part of the screen.
Jump
Press Space to jump.
You can also perform a wall jump by jumping towards a wall, then as you land on it, jump off in a different direction!
Catnap
Hold Q to catnap. This will recharge your stamina bar.
Catnap until your treble clef to the left of your stamina bar is full to gain an item to use.
Recharge you stamina even faster by catnapping in warm or brightly-lit spots!
Air Dive
Jump then press Left Mouse Button in midair to perform a air dive.
Grab & Throw
Press Middle Mouse Button to grab an object. Press Middle Mouse Button again to throw it.
Hold Middle Mouse Button while carrying an item to aim before throwing.
Climb
Move towards a climable surface, then use WASD Keys to climb.
Charge Jump
Hold Space while standing still to charge your jump. Then release Space to perform the charge jump.
Time your charge jump perfectly to create a spring. This item will give your team a vertical boost!
Nuzzle
Press Middle Mouse Button to show you're ready to nuzzle.
If another cat does the same nearby, your nuzzling will create an item for you both!
Pounce
Press Left Mouse Button to pounce.
Use pouncing during the pots Chorus Minigame to break them!
We hope today has given you an insight into Jumping Jazz Cats, ready for when our demo launches (coming soon 👀) on Steam.
Get ready to to jump, bounce, and sprint around the jazzy cartoon mansion of Ellington Estate and lead your cat team to victory!
