Great game! I like the tangled rat tails. Good rat king reference.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
You can only finish the game with the help of your friends!!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes. My team and I - Edmund, Sakib, and Joel, made everything ourselves.

I like the style of this game its concept is great (though, are those rats considered "friends"? 😆) but i really did like the gameplay, it did crash a few times when i died but its alright considering the rest of the game looks and feels great
if you have the time consider rating our game 😊
Well, to be honest, the artstyle is very awesome! And loved nearly all in this game, also interesting concept. I'd like just to mention, that the controls seems to be a little bit slow(the character movement and the subtitles). Also, thought, you should add some kind of level loading, because it takes some time after death(also, it crashed one time after death). So, I just think, that you should work more on this project after gamejam, because it has great potential!!!
Great game, well done <3
An interesting concept, partially fits the theme, though you're not really "stronger" together. You're kinda just... throwing rats, watching them die and then standing on their corpses. Which was... a bit gruesome, interesting, but gruesome. The platforming sections were interesting, though not too complex and a decent amount could be pretty simple cheesed through by just stacking rats. A few specifics tho:
- Pulling back to launch a rat was a bit slow, so on the few long throws I did end up doing it was lot of just sitting and waiting for the throw to charge up. So I'd personally recommend speeding that up, to make it a little less tedious.
- The jumping felt quite floaty and a bit annoying to try and control. So I'd recommend tweaking that a bit personally. Not entirely sure where, maybe the gravity, the acceleration mid air etc.
- Throughout the game the tutorial NPC constantly repeating dialog was a bit annoying. Since you were constantly having to go through the text again everytime you died. Plus the fact that you can skip an entire bit of dialog by hitting E rather than reaching the end of, which was unexpected for me personally. So I ended up missing a bit of the story.
Thanks!! Yeah, it ended up kind of deviating a tad. We're pretty new to this, as a team, so keeping focused on our core concept is still a skill we're developing. Thanks for helping point it out though - I completely agree with you. Thanks for the feedback! it's massively helpful. A ton of those were things I wanted to work on, but due to some poor time management on my end, i talked myself out of touching up. It's helpful that someone noticed them - I'll definitely pay more attention to stuff like that next time around. Thanks for the feedback!!!
The character art is fantastic - love the gruesome, cartoony look. I think the platforming/rat throwing controls can be tightened up a little, and I'm sure you know but I think you need to be deleting things between scenes/deaths. Good work.
Nice game, I loved the art style and the animations of the rat king while jumping and falling.
One thing I noticed is that the music was a little bit too low in sound, had to turn my sound up but it is nothing that is not fixable. Keep up the good work.
If you do have a chance please provide some feedback on my submissions as well :)
I absolutely love the art-style and audio, the whole game overall feels as something with actual release potential! My only critique would be the controls, they feel very floaty in general, give me more of that sweet rat movement, but it is only a minor issue, it definitely does not hinder the overall experience.
I really really like the art and gamefeel in general. There's some freeze sometimes, but I managed to pass through almost all levels. Great game!

I loved the pixel art! Also would be great more visual feedback when you die.
You need to add some screenshots for the game so people see what they're getting into. Seriously, it's fun and the art is great, you deserve more votes.
Game looks amazing. i really liked the art style. dialogues were enjoyable and funny. it would have been great to have some visual representation of charge and players feels a little too slow
