In what way does your game fit the theme?
Welcome to rat jumble! You play as Bob, a new janitor in a nearby building. The boss mentioned something about rats living in the building. doing most of the chaos. Your job is to clean up the mess the previous janitor has left and to eradicate all rats.
Or is it your job? The game contains two endings so try to get both!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We have written all of our code, UI, shaders, level ourselves.
We have outsourced all the sounds and a lot of environmental props from various packages.

ok so some honest feedback, I know you've said you have updated it some on the main page but I will give my 2 cents,
1st no ambience / sounds hardly I would add some ambience or allow a player to play some music while working. as a janitor may do.
2nd, the action of picking up items and using seems a little jank to me, and can accidently cause a "mistake" if it doesn't get placed quite right. items should not land hard if not thrown.
3rd, rats can cause you to make "mistakes" I think only the player doing the action should be considered.
4th, the is related to items been picked up a bit jank, but if close enough to a wall items will go through the world and be gone forever.
5th, rats can kill there self way to easy, you could just wait for them to kill themselves while working.
6th, may been fixed already but the start a new game button does not work, and the player shouldn't be-able to move still after the fact.
The graphic's are decent. thats is all, depsite the flaws, I like your take on it.
No sounds or ambience? I swear there are a lot of sounds and ambience music, something must go wrong on your side. Maybe an engine bug, I have no idea.
About the 4th (items can go outside of the world without respawning isn't always the truth. Necessary to progress objects always respawns.
And also, rats might kill themselves because of their actions, but they will destroy everything several times faster than they will die out.
And yeah, the rest has been improved, fixed or we are looking into it, thanks for playing though. It's always worth knowing what the people might not like about the game!
I just re-tested and major items did not respawn back, I can confirm that actually. I would look into this. is this fixed in the more updated one?
I thought the room was haunted x) right before I saw a rat hulk out a box at the other side of the room xD Lots of fun ^^
I'm not sure the mistakes counter is really adding anything. Plus, I got the "you cleaned everything" ending when the rats finished trashing the place x)
Extremely well executed game, seems really thought out. I encourage you to keep working on it after the game, it has the potential. Have you considered adding multiplayer? Would be awesome to team up and go through the chores in a group.
Multiplayer sounds like a lot of work. Overall we have already silently released updates to this game (newest version is 1.03, available to download only on the main page of the game) that slightly improve already existing mechanics and fixes few bugs too.
Thanks for playing and the review though!
How did you just make me spend 25 minutes cleaning webs and killing rats
Seriously though, the game is really well executed and was super fun to play! The little things like details in the environment and sounds when completing a task really added to the experience! Good job!
Amazing game...Kept me invested for long and loved the way u approached the theme..And amazing environment made especially the baked lighting ....Do check out my chaotic scifi fps shooter game
Thanks for the review! Sure I will check your game!
Good Job for a Game Jam. It's fun.
Cool concept! This would be funny to play in VR lol
Haven't thought of that, but yeah, It could be an interesting game in VR. Sadly we don't have VR goggles so someone else would have to do that.
Thanks for playing!
Lots of fun the rats made it very chaotic and the game itself was nicely done and looked amazing!
Well polished 3D game.
Amazing work for just 7 days jam developing time
Keep going👍
Thanks! We definitely will improve this game a bit!
We've silently released patch 1.02 yesterday, right now we are working on 1.03 and discussing what kind of changes we would want to make for this game!
Cool idea, luckily when I played some of the rats seemed to kill themselves so I got lucky :)
The atmosphere was also pretty nice, all quiet and then suddenly you hear a rat and you're like :0
To anyone reading here!
We have made this trailer showcasing what the game is about:
nice game Check mine out it's called Robo rage
Cool game, having fun playing it! Need more work on game concept but still a fun experience.
Also have you ever heard of this cool game, Chaos Variants? you should totally try it out and rate it!

We think like that too :) We are planning to polish the concept of the game, focus on what's the biggest fun (fightning with rats) and what's the least fun to do (cleaning, moving boxes). In the end I think it will be super chaotic shooter game.
Thanks for playng and the feedback! For sure I will review your game!
5 stars!
10/10 game!!!
I have really enjoyed playing it!! fantastic job!
Really funny and good physics nonsense!
A bit long though, and a bit hard having everything being mapped to right click. Like would be nice if a different button was throw! But was still a great experience.
Thanks, You do everything with the left click :p. And yeah, we plan to add some options so we might also add this. Can't promise anything though as it sounds like a lot to do!
this really good of game
good job
can u rate and check my game pls i would really be thankful
Thanks! It's really nice to hear that!
Sure I will review your game!
I'm impressed by the implementation of the mechanics. The game is too resource intensive, though. My 1070 was crying. Still very impressive to implement these mechanics so quickly.
I have a gtx 1070 too and it's crying not because the game is somewhat badly optimized (or requires good hardware), but because the computer renders 400-600 frames per second.
You can check your current framerate by pressing ctrl + H in the game. I'm 100% sure we will implement the frame limiter alongside new updates.
Looks like great, but sorry, i can't download because my storage full :'(
Well, that can happen too. it's only 250 mb download and 570 mb after unpacking, at least the newest 1.02 version of the game. I think you can find that amount of space :p
Thanks for the reply!
The game is rather long, and it is hard to find and complete every task. Also, the rats glitched out for me, and I only saw one stuck in the wall and couldnt figure out how to interact with it. Very nice scene and audio though
Thanks for the feedback! yeah, sadly there are few bugs we didn't have time to fix. We will publish a new update quickly though.
To get the longer ending you need to spend around 20 minutes, this is considering you will be successful throughout the playthrough.
