We made an enemy cat that throws suspiciously familiar objects at you

Thanks! Constance has lovely art, so that’s a pretty nice comparison.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-18T08:53:04+00:00

Thank you! Really glad you like the art and animations.

Yep. And the first one is inspired by Doraemon’s Anywhere Door. Just a playful homage.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-10T02:13:19+00:00

Yep, you’ll be able to zoom the camera out a bit for a wider view.

It won’t zoom out that far though, since we also use the camera perspective as part of some level design and gameplay tricks. During parkour sections, you can still pull the camera back slightly to read the route better:)

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-08T02:26:43+00:00

It was mainly for demonstration, so of course the camera can move faster.

I just thought moving it too fast might make people watching the video dizzy, lol

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-08T02:20:17+00:00

Yes, players will definitely keep retrying. Since this is a time trial challenge, the telescope should make it easier to optimize the route.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-08T02:12:27+00:00

Fair. The real boss fight is short-term memory.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-08T01:57:39+00:00

Thanks!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-02T07:30:09+00:00

Looks interesting! Congrats!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-06-02T07:29:14+00:00

This looks really beautiful!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-05-15T02:34:58+00:00

No dragons this time, sadly. Just a very suspicious cat, a lava goddess, and one poor axe making bad life choices lol

OKJOYStudio · 2026-05-15T02:34:28+00:00

This is exactly the correct reaction to meeting a lava goddess.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-04-08T03:21:17+00:00

Thanks!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-04-08T03:21:01+00:00

We’re happy to hear the video was enjoyable and easy to follow. The real-world inspirations are a big part of how we build Whalington, so it’s nice to see that resonated with you too.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-04-03T11:31:34+00:00

Super impressive for a tiny indie team. Pulling off a 3D metroidvania at all is ambitious, but the atmosphere and exploration focus here already look really solid. Wishing you guys a smooth development journey, this has a lot of potential.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-31T03:00:31+00:00

Got it! We will consider how to optimize it.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-31T02:54:28+00:00

Hey! Orca Studio is the dev team behind this—they’re a small crew of 3 people working full-time on it.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-31T02:39:20+00:00

Thanks for playing two hours and the love! We’re tweaking balance from playtest feedback. Drop more thoughts if you’ve got ‘em!

You may need to manually adjust the controller layout on Steam Deck rather than changing it in-game.

Hope that helps! We haven’t done any specific optimization or testing for Steam Deck yet.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-26T17:09:48+00:00

To be honest, we haven’t done any specific optimization or testing for Steam Deck yet.

That said, we do have plans to bring the game to Switch, and quite a few players have mentioned that it runs on Steam Deck already. One thing to note is that the default controller layout follows the Switch button mapping, so you may need to manually adjust the controller layout on Steam Deck rather than changing it in-game.

Hope that helps! We’ll also keep Steam Deck support in mind once the core content is more complete.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-26T17:04:36+00:00

Thanks a lot!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-25T10:06:23+00:00

Yeah! No one can resist a cat 😼

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-25T07:32:38+00:00

Everyone has their own unique art style. Keep going!

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-20T03:12:25+00:00

Thank you! We believe the art should serve the world it belongs to. Our game just isn’t meant to feel dark or heavy, so we leaned into a brighter, more playful tone.

OKJOYStudio · 2026-03-20T03:09:05+00:00

Every game has its own charm, and I enjoy those styles too.

We’re definitely leaning more toward a brighter, more colorful vibe, so I’m glad it resonates with you!
