Ranked from 32 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
How does the game fit the theme?
You can run straight to the boss or risk clearing rooms for better weapons, you can buy health, or waste your cheese on weapon gacha machines.
And most importantly... You risk it for the biscuit by jumping into a portal to hell to get it back.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Tiny snippets of code were reused from my old projects, tileset is a modified version of the one listed in the credits, "blood" sprites come from an ancient project of mine, font is Cute Pixel, sprite for boss projectiles is a recoloured sprite from my other game, slimes are copy-pasted from that game.

The art is really cool. Great work!
This is really cool. Its fun and love the art style and color palette. Its got a lot of depth already. I would like to see this polished up with sound of course. I think more than sound was the lack of any visual feedback and juice also. Still was terrific to play though with solid controls.
The visuals are fantastic, and the mouse is absolutely adorable! I loved all the art featuring him!
The gameplay is super fun, I had a great time playing.
I did have a bit of trouble spotting where the doors were on the map; maybe some extra lighting or a highlight could make them stand out more.
Overall, congrats on putting together such a polished game in such a short time!
This was a lot of fun. The map is huge for such a short amount of time. Great job! Its super fun and trying to find the best weapon is awesome!
This was such a funny and creative premise. Playing as a rat sent to hell definitely stands out in the best way. I loved the art style, and the variety in enemies, rooms, and items kept things engaging throughout. The map was also really helpful and made navigating the game much easier.
I was a little unsure about where to go at the beginning, but I eventually figured it out. One small suggestion would be to include an enemy type that can be taken out in a single shot, just to add a bit more punch to the combat pacing. Also, the idea of akimbo guns could be a fun addition if you’re looking to expand the arsenal.
Overall, this was a unique and entertaining entry with a lot of charm. Great job.
Wow the gameplay and artwork is amazing! The game is pure adrenaline and addiction! This game is amazing that is was done in such a short time! A couple suggestions:
Overall well done!
There is a dash and even dodge :P
Right-click. When you move and press right-click you dodge roll in the movement direction, when you’re stationary, you’ll dash backwards. It gives you immunity frames for the entire duration of the animation.
oh damnm sorry i missed it will update rating
Good action and fast paced combat. The cut scene is great :D. The randomized weapons give a lot of replayability and variation which is good.
The door sprites seems to be missing sometimes, i thought i was stuck in the start room.
And of course most importantly: rat with gun. 10/10
Doors sprites are absolutely awful, I don’t know what I was thinking. Just replacing them with tunnels make everything so much more clear…
Audio would’ve made this wonderful! Other than that the game was really fun :) , the doors are a bit tricky to spot at first ;-;
Loved the opening animation. Hit me right in the feels... My only major gripe is that the doors don't look like doors. Apart from that, I loved scrapping weapons into cheese!
this is a very good game, but like others have said the lack of audio really limits it
Great game! Like many have said I think audio is the only thing holding it back right now!
Very good game. Speccialy visual, but not audio interferes get full enjoy of game.
Nicely done, very well put together
Nice visuals and epic gameplay! Also, I like how it fits the theme. Hearing the bullet mayhem and the explosions left and right would have been super fun, but I get why there is no audio (getting effects for all the diff weapons and stuff would have been a lot). Great job!!
Amazing rougelike, I had loads of fun playing it! The only thing it lacks is some audio, but aside from that the game is really well made.
Keep up the good work!
goated concept! rat fighting hell dinos to get his biscuit (lul). The visual are very well done and the game play feels very smooth and satisfying!
Rat io (very well done this game is sick! love the art especially!!)
The first thing that hit me, was how cool this game looks, the second thing was a dinosaur flying at 500mph
Just dodge lol ( Jokes aside, they’re pretty easy to dodge reliably once you get the timing right, they always stop at the same distance before pouncing )
i have always wanted to be a rat shooting dinosaurs in hell. this game finally lets me live that fantasy. would be great to add some audio if you ever plan on expanding on it, i think it would add a lot. art style is great too
Great taste in pixel art and colors, the game presents itself very nicely, as gameplay is cool, it just needs a little bit more polish around feedbacks and visibility! Great Job!
