A lot of the rules to this game, like how exactly multiple cats respawn when you die, are really weird and counterintuitive. I wish the mechanics were more logical.

@desmonde Thanks, i could not figure out what to do for that one, i manage to found the way for the next 2 on my own afterwards.

@FlameyGregy, Walkthrough 5,9
Spawn on the pink flag between the red spikes and dark flag, then move R L U, R D, L R.
Now you can free all the cats with U L U. Work your way across the lower spikes to the two pink flags, die to reset the moving rocks, then step on the upper spikes when the first moving rock is on the last green arrow. Move the other cats a few times and you'll get pushed across. :-D

tip to romm (1,11) star gaining. DD RUU LUD hit 2 flag, spend steps and die. with 3 cat hit the 3rd flag over trap and die.
DDU hit 2 flag and die.
LL DR UU LDDU hit 3 flag and die. with 4 cat get the star //
with this i clear the game. when puzzle seem impossible, i feel very frustrated. but with tip on commend, i cleared room one by one and finally i figued out how to get the stars by myself.
i will memory this game very long.

If you're having trouble getting stars, ignore them and keep playing the game. The game later showcases new mechanics and tricks that you'll need like in Super Metroid.

Is (4,4) bugged or something? It seems like you get to the 3rd flag the same way you get to the 2nd, but when I try that I don't get pushed the last space.

ok seriously- how do you do the one that's right below the two empty spaces next to base 8???? the one with the boulders that duplicate... I seriously can't figure this one out. Any hints?

Thanks Paco. No idea what happened. Here is another link to the same information: https://www.bontegames.com/2019/05/5-step-steve-browser.html

I don't think the game design is bad. It's an enjoyable and original game with a simple ruleset, something that's pretty hard to do, as many of these ideas are already taken. A lot of the negative criticism I read is caused by the game mechanics not exactly accomodating a player motivated to grab the badges. The badge requirements are choices made by someone else than the game designer and the original game was not designed around enabling badge hunting.

@ Anyone asking for a walkthrough below, I found the comments in this blog post to be very helpful: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4568527495646751209&postID=5140611233288757148
Loved the game btw!

tip to (8,10), (8,11)
just remember that if you change the room, than step are refreshed and set to 5.
so in 8,10 just go down and before you die, change room, and continue

I'd kill for a way to undo the last move... I get everything lined up perfectly, then I press one wrong button and it's back to the base :(
Perhaps an "undo one move" option would improve the game's quality of life. Working it into this game would take a lot of time, but I think I'll put that in the sequel.

Okay, key to solving this puzzle game is trial-and-error: variation and selection. Sometimes the solution is easier than the mind predicts. Nice game. I prefer different music though 4/5

@EPGstudios About the suggestion for being able to teleport between bases - a simple keyboard solution would be to assign a number/letter to each base and one would only need to hit that key to go there.
I already have a menu teleportation system in, which replaces the "return to base" system when you've visited all the bases. I think assigning each base to a number key would be confusing and inefficient, but thanks for the feedback.

Colorblind mode worked wonderfully. Thank you so much for the update! Now I just need to get good and finish the game lol

Tip (solution) for first star (5.5?):
keep 2 cats at upper right until you have cloned enough cats (through marking multiple flags and running out of steps).
That's what I get for using lossless audio, I guess? I'll try to include an MP3 codec into the next game. (Also heard from another person who thinks it might be a problem with Kongregate's servers or something.)

I often play Kongregate games when listening to something else, so a lot of times I have the tab on mute. When I finally unmuted this game because what I was listening to was over, I had an...interesting reaction when I heard what the music really was.
