How does the game fit the theme?
Don't let anything go wrong! Protect the button at all costs or else something will go very wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Music and some sound effects
All art and code was made from scratch!
How many people worked on the game?3
Very Good, one of those really nice quick gameplay loops that having you saying "one more" after every time you lose. The ball physics are the bane of my life tho as I somehow always ended up hitting it in a way where it would somehow end up on the button!
Congrats on the game and great job (even more congrats getting so close to the deadline before submitting xD)
Holy this game is hard, but its really fun. I wont like the earth exploding kinda jumpscared me at first, pants soiled, underwear ruined. But I've never played a rat squasher simulator and I was thoroughly surprised with how fun it was, especially when things started ramping up. I haven't beaten it yet, but this is definitely one of those games that Ill load up every once in awhile to see if I can beat it.
This is really fun, I think maybe it could ramp up in difficulty a little faster and not last so long. If you're continuing work on this multiple levels would be pretty cool too!
Great job! Very fun game and original mechanic! It was difficult but engaging! The only problem I had was that sometimes I hit the rats and they didn’t die
I went to squash a mouse and I accidentally dragged it over to the button. I survived for 5 seconds
10/10
Very fun! I want to beat it, but I am not sure I can spend all afternoon on it! Also, I wish you could modify the mouse behavior is some way. I know is preference, but the hand movement feels juuuuust a bit to wishywashy for me to stay sane.
Third times the charm baby. Actually sweating just to beat it xd
Funny ending. Not what I expected. Hopefully the rats ended up forgiving and hiring him instead.
The hand rotation was a bit iffy, but something you can get used to, so nothing to complain about there. It's a matter of skill issue :)
Very fun, Very nice.
Played and rated! (or should i say, rat-ed!), really loved this one, simple but fun gameplay, violence against rats, and great pixel art visuals, it had it all! My only feedback would be the bat kind of 'flopped' around in a weird way, and the delay between the two comic strip images when you lose was a little too long (i was starting to think the game had crashed)
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I agree about the comic strip, I wanted to try and make it feel like it was going on *slightly* too long to catch the player more off guard but think I went a bit too overboard on this lol.
In terms of the bat, it's actually a hand! I'm not sure if this would make it feel more intuitive to play as I agree if it was a bat then the pivot being in the middle would feel weird!
Just had another go and I see the hand now! I don't know why my brain processed that as a bat!
I do get what you were going for with the explosion, and I do like the mental journey of is the world going to explode? Nothings happening? Is it broken? And then just a beat longer.. like it goes from a little funny to annoying to more funny.. but like you said maybe it's just a beat too long
The game is simple but it's really fun but I couldn't beat the game lol
I had a lot of fun playing! I couldn't beat it though, my best is 1:07 remaining. The explosion animation is funny, but maybe too long, especially since it's unskippable, which makes replaying a little bit frustrating.
The idea was simple but fits the theme and the execution is really good. Maybe the hand could follow the cursor a bit faster.
The mice were really cute, I felt guilty squashing them ><
Well done!
Pretty cool game overall but tbh it was quite hard... Maybe it's just my skill issue tho. The visuals and audio were good and the theme implementation was pretty nice.
Very cool game! I love keeping the world alive without having to kill the mice :>
This was probably one of the most fun "Don't press the Button Games" I've been playing for a while. The physics make the game really fun to play. I wish there were a bit more "enemy" variety, other than that it really was a great and fun game!
Simple mechanic, yet so addictive. Nice visuals and backround music don't make me frustrated upon loose.
You have to make "Pacificst" achievement for hardcore fans.
It's a fun game for sure! Love the take on the theme of the Jam. Good Visuals and Sound Design. The Game Play is also very easy to pickup and challenging at the same time. I've destroyed so many planets at this point. But have saved none :-D. Great Game, Keep up the good work!
