Okay, so I am working on a game with Schrödinger’s Cat, but it is your cat that was in the box. Your cat was poisoned by the vile but you opened the box just in time. You need to find the antidote and save your cat in time from an evil \_\_\_\_ I need ideas for the boss, maybe a critter

I usually do game jams but since I’m rejoined only a month ago and I’m currently working on my biggest game yet (probably) I will sadly have to sit this one out ☹ So sadly no continuation to my radish guy series that I lowkey don’t remember how I came up with.
