Well done on your first Jam! Hope you'll get involved in lots more :).
I struggled to work out what I was doing with the machines and mice, might need a bit more tutorial and different levels to build things up some more.
Looks nice, and who doesn't love a lego bridge :).

I like the art. The controls are a little bit finicky and hard to figure out. But it's a cool concept.
Good Job :D
Ah, great to see another rodent game in the jam. I really enjoyed this, like Overcooked meets Bomber Crew. I enjoyed it both when things were going haywire and for the maybe 20 seconds when everything was calm and there was just the plink-plunk of the rats doing their work. The only issue I had was some difficulty in getting my mouse clicks to register on the machines - it felt kind of finicky to click on them "right". That's ultimately a very minor issue. I think if you added some flow control levers to direct cheese onto different belts while one is being repaired, the complexity is just at the right level for some more fun pandemonium. Great entry!
Well done on your first game jam! We hope you learned from your personal challenge as much as we do from ours. I would say you did well.

REVIEW:
Played 15minutes
Service Under Pressure game with a blend of Factorio and Tapper.
I am glad the game has a 5min timer! Overall this was a joy.
The music, sfx, asset selection was well suited for the game and this theme.
Control tutorial on the main menu is a fresh approach. The text and GUI is clear and out of the way yet shows the important stuff.
Integrating the theme was well done with LEGO, kitchen tools, and conveyor. However, a story to motivate the player was missing.
I believe this game have great potential to become the next “Dashing Diner” or “Overcooked”, or even a serious game about a recycling plant but in rat world.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Easy to play. I loved the music and sounds, very cohesive.
This is a nicely implemented factory game for a 10 day jam. All I would sugest is making it easier somehow to select things. I found myself struggling to assign the mouse I wanted to a job quickly as it wouldn't register my selection sometimes. Good job.
"WE HAVE A CHEESE BLOCKAGE ON CONVEYOR 3!"
I've never seen a mouse run so fast with a hammer before, but the cheese must be extracted!
This is a very ambitious game and you did a good job on the implementation. The camera controls were a little bit janky. Your time attack gameplay works well, I would love to see you expand further on this idea and maybe create more of a rat cheese factory management type of game.
Great work on your first jam! (we're also on our first)
I love the mice, they are super cute! Like others I had issues clicking the tasks I wanted in a timely manner, which delayed repairs and thus more things broke. In saying that the game was still fun! I got 17 cheeses , congrats on the game :D
It's really funny to play and the aesthetics is great. The only issue I had is some hard time selectionning and assigning the task, it feels like the target area could be a bit larger.
Well implemented. Nice idea. Sometimes selection (left clic) of characters or workshops feels a little bit imprecise
This was a great game, I wouldn't be surprised if this got 1st place! I loved the art and music. It got a little hard controlling the mice and making them move to the areas. But it was a great game!
Cool game, I like the setting and perspective of mice churning out cheese :D Really great and consistent artstyle also, well done!
Absolutely adorable game, very unique from other assembly line games I've played.
