A perfect game for those who prey at night, who stalk at night and the ones that make all of the rules!

I can't believe it took me so long to get around to this game.  This was the game I was most excited for based on the progress pictures, and you did not disappoint!!! I love this silly little rat game with all my being -- the running around with weapons, the bard music, the c h e e s s e- all of it! Very fun idea, very fun gameplay, and  a really thrilling difficulty. The game is obviously quite unpolished -- I got stuck in the environment a couple of times, and I think a little bit of medieval music in the main menu would be *chef's kiss,* but this game is so silly and charming  that I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

10/10 will be maceing Sir. Boss again (with the power of cheese, of course)

Developer

Really cool idea, but it is way too hard for me.

Fun idea, dragged down by an obtuse beginning, and bugs.

i cant play your game for some reason man! i downloaded, just doesnt work
i would have rated anyway but seeing you above the median! i dont think its a good idea to rate without playing

Developer

open the .zip directly ! And just double click on the .exe file, don't touch anything !

Awesome Idea. a bit environmental polish, Game mechanics polish. Better Enemy movement. objective indication and UX could be better

Awesome Rat Either WAy

Developer

agree with you, lacks somewhat of polish and at first i wanted to add directions to the boss (but i forgor..), Thanks for the feedback !

Fun game! I Enjoyed it and even managed to beat the boss! The balance is a bit unfair imo, the first enemy is hard to kill, but you scale really fast and just become invincible by the time you're at the boss. Congratulation for making this!

Developer(+1)

no way !! You're the first one to beat the boss, congrats !! Thanks for your feedback !

This game is terrifying. Imagine being a guard and then a rat with a mace in its mouth starts going the entire castle killing everyone in sight. The bossfight had a sea of cadavers covering the floor for half of it.

Developer

hahahahaha, didn't see the game like this lmfao. Thanks for you feedback !

Really cool game ! Nice !

Developer

Thanks !

Really fun and cool game, got to the boss he was really cool but I found him a bit too hard especially with the 100s of guards in the room with him, the game really makes you feel like a little mischievous rat running around, I love the cheese sound it was funny, to improve it I would add  some kinda dodge mechanic like dark souls so you can dodge the maces easier, and maybe the boss could have no other guards and have some more moves, but obviously it was a game jam and it was not a lot of time, so you did really good very fun and cool concept and if you decide to add more I will be sure to check it out in the future :)

i wanted to make the bossfight even harder believe it or not.. 

Submitted(+1)

omg that's crazy I found it very hard lol 😭

Great game! Been following it since your progress post of you making the rat in blender. 

Developer

Thanks !

Loved the name of the boss :) Kept a track on this all through the development and really happy to finally play it. Cheese!

Developer(+1)

Yea hahaha, a friend came up with the idea of "RoqueFort" (the cheese brand) and i just made it a bit more like a name by changing it to "Sir.RockFort", Thanks for your feedback !

Submitted

The gameplay is quite difficult, but i managed to figure it out with having to "cheese" it 😜

Submitted

Games really good the idea is hilarious i liked running around biting the guards and stuff idk why it felt cool being a rat in what looked to me like the plague times but the game was a bit too difficult at the start trying to kill that first guard for me though maybe i just had to run away idk how it was but apart from  that cool game maybe i was js a bit dumb 

Developer

have you seen Sir.RockFort tho ? He is the real difficulty.. The first guard is nothing compared to him..

Submitted

Oh nawh ima run the game again to find him if i survive LMFAO

Cool game reminds me a lot of that one section from Dragon Age: Origins. Good luck with the jam!

Developer

glad you liked it !

I was a little confused to begin with - but something about the game made me really want to play it (I think I've just always wanted to be a murderous rat?).  I did fall through the floor ending my run and was crushed - but I think that's just a testament to how much fun I was having with it!

Developer

yea unfortunately i didn't have the time to fix some collision bugs.. But glad you liked ! Thanks for the review !

Submitted

Of course, that's unfortunately the case with game jams - definitely still a super fun game to play! :D
