The one with the sign that says "might be the hardest star in the game"? That one's not actually so bad, but I'll admit I kind of found the solution by accident - but I might have realized it was the solution if I'd remembered that room while I was playing the end-game.
Part of what makes this one hard is that it combines multiple game mechanics, some of which you don't really learn about until the end of the game. If you got the star in 9,14 already you know a number of those mechanics. The last mechanic you don't learn until the end of the game, but you find out about it in a giant room full of kill-flags.
I'm only stuck on two last stars - one I haven't even found yet, and that one in 14,17. I already know there's a lot that can be done in that room that isn't immediately obvious, but I haven't figure out any way to abuse what's in that room to get a cat into that little hole. I've tried pushing a dead cat up and then pushing a flag onto it, but the medusa stones it right away. And I can't see any way to get a cat facing the other direction there.
I can't believe this... I figured this out just a minute before I saw you'd posted a hint, because someone else mentioned what room to use. But I'm annoyed at myself it took so long because I've used every game mechanic this required repeatedly to solve other stars and secrets, and yet every time I looked at this one I just kept thinking "but, my cat will turn to stone, so I can't come in that way". /facepalm
Competor has started uploading a walkthrough of it on his channel in this playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqnMDAwv_U-ychsgqingwF3CiWCaVdkm5. the 5th video in the playlist is where part 2 starts. Two important things to note is that Competor is from Japan, so you will probably need to use translated subtitles if you want to understand what he's saying if you don't understand Japanese; and that as of the day I'm posting this reply, 5 of the videos aren't public yet but, based on the upload pattern of the previous parts, I believe it should all be public by January 15th 2023. I might wait for someone else who speaks english such as Joseph Mansfield to cover the game https://www.youtube.com/@JoePlaysPuzzleGames unless I'm desperate to find out the solution to a certain puzzle.
Do the wormholes have any pattern to what tile they take you to if you break them? I thought maybe average or sum, but it doesn't seem that way. But then why do you get teleported to weird places inside of walls? Why not just teleport straight to the destination? And then what about disambiguation space?
I was about to whine about how sure I was that I would reach section (7,20)'s hallway using... a method. I thought it was a bug, because how else should that hallway be reached?
Can confirm that this is hard. I don't know if/when I'll beat this level, but if anyone else beats it before me, I guess you can claim you bested the game's creator! (At this particular user level, anyway.)
Actually, none of the bugs (to my knowledge) can appear in the editor or user levels due to the limitations of the editor. Which is a little surprising to me!
Correct! I'm actually kind of sad, since I feel like people were given a worse "experience" due to this bug. Hopefully it should be patched by tomorrow! (I was slow on implementing bugfixes because I wanted to take a break.)
PLEASE DON'T PATCH IT YET!!! If you do, that will trigger my OCD and other mental health disorders and conditions resulting in me being unable to play or enjoy the game.
Not sure which part of it you're stuck on, so here's the answers to both puzzle parts needed to exit the room. If it's the star your stuck on, I'm at a complete loss on that one too.
Rot13, just for variety this time ;)
The kitty-conveyor (I assume this is the sticking point - at least it's the part that took me a long time until I just stumbled onto it):

I'd advise you proceed to the rocket/finale first, by saving enough cats to open the gate. If you've done that already, just leave the screen. ⬆️ ⬆️ ⬆️
You say "top section" so I assume you've just passed the splitter?
You need to revive the cat by pushing it onto the 9 or 3 flag. The only purpose for reviving a cat is to stone one to nuke the 4-flag. Get both cats above the medusa so that one is above the flag and other other directly above the medusa. Move one down to destroy the flag. Then you have just enough movement to get down to the 9-flag, which gives you just enough to reach the top 4-flag.
That doesn't give you enough to reach the top exit though. This is where it's evil, and you learn something new about the way the maps work (although you might have run into it on another level already).
Step out the left exit - there's a hidden tunnel you can use to come back in the right one space closer to the top exit, with 5 movement points.
That one took me a while too. Once I solved it I thought "oh yeah, that was obvious in hindsight"... and then I went back to redo it to answer you and it took me several minutes to remember the solution.
Hints and solution, after the break (if I put enough lines in this of course :P)
You won't be able to solve 5,15 until you beat the room at least once. Don't even try for the star before that.
The 8-star flag gives you enough moves to reach the star - but only if the 1-star flag is gone. There's nowhere you can push the 1-star flag to get rid of it though. There is another way to remove a flag, that you probably hit in another level.
Solution:
After beating the level, return from the top. Revive the extra cat, position the cats so that the revived cat is between the 4 and the medusa. Petrify the original cat on the 1-star flag to remove it. Loop through the flags to restore your movement and get the star.
How do you beat the level? That's what I meant by "complete". I usually use "complete" to indicate solving the level and "star" to get the star(specific to this game). I use similar phraseology for other games as well.
I think I just glitched it. No idea what I did, but I just loaded up the game, "died" and the "dead"(part of the level) cat was suddenly spawned alive while my "active" cat was at the beginning of the section. So now I have a cat "stuck" on the six flags(no pun intended) while the glitched one can easily get to the flag LMAO. Can't solve the level though!
Ah, sorry. I saw the "stuck on star" and misread the "how to complete" question.
Solution follows (as long as I didn't miss a step):
Revive the extra cat. Move around to the left of the "free" medusa. Push the medusa right, stoning the original cat. You have just enough movement left to grab the 4-flag, but that won't be enough. So hit the 4, then go to the 8 to top up. Then you can push the stone/medusa one space further. Use the 4 again to reach the 8, push the medusa down, then just keep bouncing between the flags as necessary until you can push the rock and the 1-flag into the tunnel enough to turn around and walk up past the last medusa.

NGL, my progress(a lot) got cleared somehow the first playthrough. I created a new browser profile(chrome) and it seems okay now. Also, I can't remember how I did most of it. The majority of rooms, I cleared(and stars) by literally trying random combinations.
Really the only puzzle I can do is the star in room 5,15. I think everything else is locked behind that lol. I'm sure I'm just being stupid but I've worked on this room alone for over an hour.
In room 16, 20 you can duplicate a star. It is possible to get both of the stars at the same time, which will increase the counter by two, but resetting the stars in the room will only decrease the counter by one. This means you can get infinite stars, which is fun, but also should probably be fixed.
I did this again with screenshots before and after to show this.
Well, I got to the end - but I only got 16 kittens, 4 stars, opened a few teleporters, and managed nothing else, and feel like I've pretty much taxed my ability to think. Don't even know how to start on the remainder yet.
Some of those rooms that I finally did solve though... man. EPICPIKAGUY, I'm not certain, but I think you might be an evil genius :P
Wow, yeah. I finally figured out how to get onto the secret path you mentioned. Especially devious that a large part of the path is actually just open space in rooms that you go through early in the game.
I figured the extra-wide doors were important, but it took forever to realize that the starting point of the path wasn't an extra-wide door. Sneaky sneaky @epicpikaguy...
I can't seem to pass the top exit of 11,16 though. Every approach I try ends up with a cat sitting on the 0-flag, so I can't step out the exit. So close. I'm starting to think I need another cat - but I don't think I can take a third cat into that level, and I assume I shouldn't need one since there's a shortcut into that level that wouldn't have it.
I feel like I'm in the same "stuck" state you were in originally (17 kittens, 6 stars); even with these hints on how to move into the next part of the game, I'm not really finding any ins, and am kinda running out of ideas
I'll try not to give too much away here, but I'll say that what finally hit me was that getting the star on 9,14 taught me something about how the spikes behave. But it took me a long time to realize that it had also taught me something else related that I didn't catch onto at first, which once I realized it was the obvious-in-hindsight key to gaining some extra mobility getting into the "secret" path.
Which kitten are you missing? I might remember how to get it.
The room I'm stuck in is 7.13; I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but there just don't seem to be enough pieces to do anything useful
Trying to get the star in 9.14 is actually another thing I'm working on at the moment, maybe I'll just continue throwing things at the wall here and see what happens
Also, you might want to edit your comments to mark them as spoilers, since some people prefer to not be spoiled. I don’t know if Itch supports spoiler tags or not, but you can use rot13 on the text and replace the images with Imgur links.
I don't think itch supports spoiler tags, but I remember seeing one game hack a spoiler tag into their comment section by applying some custom CSS to the strikethrough to block it out instead of striking it, which was an interesting approach, but not particularly discoverable.
yeah I currently have like 2 videos filmed on it, but it's... odd to do a series on this game I think, considering I wouldn't be playing the first n step steve first (which I would have to do), idk, it'd take up a lot of the channel to start another long series - that could be good but I'm not sure if I wanna commit right now. but yeah thank you :)

Need walkthrough. Stuck on stars.
There don't seem to be any. I've been trying to figure out the 'hardest star' for hours!
The one with the sign that says "might be the hardest star in the game"? That one's not actually so bad, but I'll admit I kind of found the solution by accident - but I might have realized it was the solution if I'd remembered that room while I was playing the end-game.

I've tried pushing a dead cat up and then pushing a flag onto it, but the medusa stones it right away. And I can't see any way to get a cat facing the other direction there.
I got that one quickly through an apparent glitch. See post below(somewhere down there).

How do you break them?
By attempting two leave the screen in too many different ways.
The bug doesn't work in certain sections
WTF?!?!?
Not edited! This is awkward...
How
No idea
It just happened randomly
I was abusing the respawn bug but then it did this(never happened before). My intent was to get the "dead" cats to resurrect upon reload.
Why doesn't it ask you to press enter?
EDIT: when the cat spawns in a room it is "immune" to features
The enable old bugs keeps resetting itself to off(it won't save). A bug needs the page to refresh, but since it resets, the bug is not usable. Help!
I realized there was a bug with the setting. Version 1.1.1 should fix this.
Thank you!
yes yes yes yes YES NOOOOO
I was about to whine about how sure I was that I would reach section (7,20)'s hallway using... a method. I thought it was a bug, because how else should that hallway be reached?
so I returned from whence I came.

No, but(before I knew it was a bug) I used it to get stars and bypass sections.

How to solve 6,14 top section?
6,14 is kind of evil.
You say "top section" so I assume you've just passed the splitter?
You need to revive the cat by pushing it onto the 9 or 3 flag. The only purpose for reviving a cat is to stone one to nuke the 4-flag. Get both cats above the medusa so that one is above the flag and other other directly above the medusa. Move one down to destroy the flag.

That doesn't give you enough to reach the top exit though. This is where it's evil, and you learn something new about the way the maps work (although you might have run into it on another level already).
Step out the left exit - there's a hidden tunnel you can use to come back in the right one space closer to the top exit, with 5 movement points.
I now am stuck on star 5,15 and am unsure of how to complete it as well.
That one took me a while too. Once I solved it I thought "oh yeah, that was obvious in hindsight"... and then I went back to redo it to answer you and it took me several minutes to remember the solution.
Hints and solution, after the break (if I put enough lines in this of course :P)
You won't be able to solve 5,15 until you beat the room at least once. Don't even try for the star before that.

So now I have a cat "stuck" on the six flags(no pun intended) while the glitched one can easily get to the flag LMAO. Can't solve the level though!
Ah, sorry. I saw the "stuck on star" and misread the "how to complete" question.

Can anyone tell me how to do 12,17 (the right side) i have no clue what im supposed to do
i found a bug that when you quit the game & reenter, running out of moves revives all grey cats
Need help on 5,16. I've tried logically for over 8 hours cumulative. Random combinations for about 3 hours. No joy. Nose is cold.

I figured as much. But I can't get it done. I've tried for the duration mentioned above.
NGL, my progress(a lot) got cleared somehow the first playthrough. I created a new browser profile(chrome) and it seems okay now. Also, I can't remember how I did most of it. The majority of rooms, I cleared(and stars) by literally trying random combinations.
WTF
Works As Intended :)
WTF??? HUH??? WUT???
Really the only puzzle I can do is the star in room 5,15. I think everything else is locked behind that lol. I'm sure I'm just being stupid but I've worked on this room alone for over an hour.
Nope that was the last thing. I have 100% now :)
Done
Developer:The map will tell you when you've 100% completed the game.
Me:Trying to push the guy with red eyes into the exhaust port, and it does nothing
In room 16, 20 you can duplicate a star. It is possible to get both of the stars at the same time, which will increase the counter by two, but resetting the stars in the room will only decrease the counter by one. This means you can get infinite stars, which is fun, but also should probably be fixed.
I did this again with screenshots before and after to show this.
Before:
After:
well, going to get 100 star.
EDIT: well, it does not save

"No way up"
Good puzzle
thanks, i liked yours too :D
Well, I got to the end - but I only got 16 kittens, 4 stars, opened a few teleporters, and managed nothing else, and feel like I've pretty much taxed my ability to think. Don't even know how to start on the remainder yet.
Some of those rooms that I finally did solve though... man. EPICPIKAGUY, I'm not certain, but I think you might be an evil genius :P
you might think there are a long secret path that connected multiple star, yes, there are the path(and it even have story in it)
Wow, yeah. I finally figured out how to get onto the secret path you mentioned. Especially devious that a large part of the path is actually just open space in rooms that you go through early in the game.
I figured the extra-wide doors were important, but it took forever to realize that the starting point of the path wasn't an extra-wide door. Sneaky sneaky @epicpikaguy...
I can't seem to pass the top exit of 11,16 though. Every approach I try ends up with a cat sitting on the 0-flag, so I can't step out the exit. So close. I'm starting to think I need another cat - but I don't think I can take a third cat into that level, and I assume I shouldn't need one since there's a shortcut into that level that wouldn't have it.
I feel like I'm in the same "stuck" state you were in originally (17 kittens, 6 stars); even with these hints on how to move into the next part of the game, I'm not really finding any ins, and am kinda running out of ideas
I'll try not to give too much away here, but I'll say that what finally hit me was that getting the star on 9,14 taught me something about how the spikes behave. But it took me a long time to realize that it had also taught me something else related that I didn't catch onto at first, which once I realized it was the obvious-in-hindsight key to gaining some extra mobility getting into the "secret" path.
Which kitten are you missing? I might remember how to get it.
The room I'm stuck in is 7.13; I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but there just don't seem to be enough pieces to do anything useful
Trying to get the star in 9.14 is actually another thing I'm working on at the moment, maybe I'll just continue throwing things at the wall here and see what happens
is this 100%? @epicpikaguy
The map will tell you when you've 100% completed the game.
Also, you might want to edit your comments to mark them as spoilers, since some people prefer to not be spoiled. I don’t know if Itch supports spoiler tags or not, but you can use rot13 on the text and replace the images with Imgur links.
I don't think itch supports spoiler tags, but I remember seeing one game hack a spoiler tag into their comment section by applying some custom CSS to the strikethrough to block it out instead of striking it, which was an interesting approach, but not particularly discoverable.
the alternative to spoiler is to put your text/images below the 'read more' (aka 'view rest') button, for me anyway
Oh, it's Icely. Hey, are you going to do a walkthrough/playthrough of this game? I like how you vocalize your thought process.
yeah I currently have like 2 videos filmed on it, but it's... odd to do a series on this game I think, considering I wouldn't be playing the first n step steve first (which I would have to do), idk, it'd take up a lot of the channel to start another long series - that could be good but I'm not sure if I wanna commit right now. but yeah thank you :)
Please do.
How do you get to room 11,12
Also, you have so many Cryptids I'm not even close lol
Also the star in 5,15 and the room 6,15?
for 11,12, you need start on 9,12, its possible
this is everything i can tell you, solve the puzzle yourself
for cryptids, double warp teleport you to a room, and you have to find the law about how does it teleport
I feel like I am close to you, but you have so many more cryptids than me that i have no clue how to get at this point lol
Well, any hint now? i dont want to search everywhere.
star remover, lol you actually do that, fun
It's here. I can't play it now but I can't wait.
Since it's somewhat difficult, It would be better to add some hints in the menu for stucked player
This game is incredible.
How many animal do i need on start for 11,16 star?
All 3
already solved lol, 2 for star and 3 for exit
How do you get 3 steves into that room? I can't see how to get to the room without petrifying one.
you start with 2
When's the walkthrough?
EDIT: if you do it in 14,17, you go to error room
How do you get that portal?
get 2 animal to this room, then you get portal
the method you’re using is a bug (sorry!)
I’ll get around to patching the bugs soon, but I’m taking a break right now.
no, there is another way to broken warp. what can be done with the third kitty?
Revive it by pushing a flag into it, then it faces right
i like the level editor puzzle lol
