Hello everybody.

Miaou Moon is already well on track, but there is still lot of work to do, so its not too late to start our devlog here:)

The game is a 2D physic plateformer, the originality of the game came from its limitations. Your hero Captain Miaou can only propulse himself towards top-right or top-left, and need to play with gravity to reach its destinations.
On top of that your propulse material is limited and you need to grab food along the way to continue.
Not enough food and you starve to death, too much and you explode!



We need to finish the design of the 5th moon. Our cat can now be poisoned, and needs to eat something to stop the poison.

Miaou Moon has launched a Kickstarter campaign! Please check it out if you get the chance

And our Greenlight page.

Your insight is precious, please any feedback is more than welcome

A DEMO is now available for you on GAMEJOLT to test our game!

Miaou Moon is an unusual plateformer, slow paced and sometimes close to a puzzle game. You really need to plan and time your movements to complete the levels. Playing with gravity when you can only propulse yourself in two directions is often tricky.
The best way to get a good feeling of the gameplay is to try out our Demo

Give it a try and tell us about it!

Hi guys,

I played the demo and though it is not my type of game in general, I found it to be very well made.
I think it would work great on an ipad or mobile phone, where the simple controls make more sense and could maybe be enhanced by display orientation (maybe slight rotation of the cat?)


Cute characters and art and engaging music, good job!

Also very easy to understand for beginners, good tutorial.

A really minor thing - when i run out of fish the screen gets a red vignette overlay (as it is supposed to), but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't cover my whole screen. (Looks like it's made for 16x9 resolution screens and doesn't stretch)

Thx for the feedback thekosmonaut, this overlay is not working properly I am adding it to my yo do list !

Hello,



A long due big patch to improve Miaou Moon!
Captain Miaou can now wear an Antigravity Belt and this changes everything!

This tool allows a better control over your trajectories.
Activate this belt at will to reduce your speed and gravity down to 0. Very useful when you need to fly back to the opposite direction or have to wait before continuing to move.
Even better: upgrade this belt to attract the food floating around!

Plus some nasty bugs were removed and the game speed improved.

Game Improvement:

• Antigravity Belt: Activate with [space]
• Game optimized to run at 60fps on all levels.
• Vsync activated on all quality settings.

Game Balance:

• Discovering all dead Astronauts grants an extra 9 points for your tools upgrades.
• 3 New Upgrades for the Antigravity Belt: raise range and power, and add food attraction.

UI changes:

• Changing controls has to be done in the configuration window, before starting the game.
• Added the [space] shortcut to activate your Antigravity belt.

Fixed bugs:

• Dying in a level and using the available checkpoint will erase your dead spacionaut discovery.
• Dead Spacionauts not registering well on some levels.
• Menu settings not working.
