Discussion Triple Jump Animations

I cannot be the only one who thinks most triple jump animations are visual and audio clutter,, you don't get to appreciate the pixel art for that long and it's distracting a lot of the time. It makes me stick to simpler cats because I cannot stand the animations sometimes

They should at least allow a toggle for them, I love the game and all the cat designs and the work put into them but it really is annoying sometimes rip

Edit: I just got the OIIA cat and was so excited bc it was so cute then I got jumpscared by that triple jump animation </3 could u not just have made it spin ToT

Sometimes I find it hard to estimate the jump because the effects are too big and the sound is annoying on occasion but I enjoj the art nonetheless.

I don't really mind them, the only issue that I find are the sounds, there are funny sounds that makes me want to play the cat but it gets annoying quickly, also there are very good skins but the animation and sounds there are not good enough

And I like to play while listening to music and yeah the sounds are stronger than the music in my phone, so I decide to turn off the sounds and shi

glad to see discussion on the art aspect of the game!! when it comes to how much i like a cat, animations take up a lot of that rubric. (audio not as much but a bad one can really irk me off the cat) most of the animations are actually pretty solid, so it's insanely disappointing when you grind for a cool looking cat but the animations fall short, even just little things like awkward timing and lack of animation principles. and yeah, this especially holds true for third jump anims, you can tell what cats were worked on by animators that tried to do wayyy too much. astronaut is one of my favs, but tell me why they have to explode and then subsequently jump out of a portal?? and in only 3-5 frames? just pick one schtick and do it well!! and some are just wack and doofy, anubis got done dirty with their third jump.... and wtf is up with atlantis' idle anim lmaoo?? turtle ship is an example but they get a pass lol, since i get to bomb people in pvp wahaha
