It's fun, it's hard and it's its own unique soul. Very nice, very cool :-)

Fun little game that was promising immediately from the title screen and game over screen being absolutely on point. The game itself was mostly cool too, little puzzles to figure out how to move everything without getting any of them killed, made for a couple of light brain teasers that I had fun with. An issue I had was that I couldn't click back to the title screen after pressing the credits button, so I needed to close the game and reopen it. I also found some bits really easy to get through without really engaging with the puzzle, where I could just jump up to the end of the level with 2 of the rats and completely avoid having to manage any of the other rats, though I'm unsure whether or not that was intentional. The music was also a lot of fun, whether it was the funny theme song or cartoonish level theme, it was just a constantly fun thing to hear throughout and made the gamer all the more enjoyable. I enjoyed this quite a bit.


If you have the time, I'd really appreciate if you could also check out my game.

Level design is great! Many times I wasn't sure if I won occasionally, by the authors design or did I cheat somehow? And that's great! So much subtlety where you don't expect it at all.

And the title screen song... Man... I wish it was longer!

Thanks! I made the level design specifically so that there were multiple routes to get to the goal, glad you had fun with it :)

I laughed a lot. You understood the notion of fun and on top of that you have a game with simple mechanics but which works very well. 

Thank you, it's so funny

Developer

Thank you!

I like the fact that this somehow feels like the game lemmings, but with a fun twist. At first it seemed as everything was just guess work, but after a while I figured out on how to use the environment to control my rat placement, actually i think with a bit more work, this could become a very interesting puzzle platformer. Great job!

One nit pick, I would have preferred if each rat had its own sound theme, different jumps per rat, maybe different characteristics (fat, thin, etc..) to bring more variety in the sound and potential play-styles.

Developer

Tysm! and yeah I see the similarity to Lemmings
