It's a pretty solid arcade game, where you build more and more, and eventually lose by having built too much. However, I didn't realise at all that I'm able to scroll up and down to see higher up, and had a whole bunch of buildings stacked on top in the middle before I accidentally scrolled the game window instead of the itch page. The addition of the scroll wheel feels out of place due to the rest of the controls being on keyboard, unless I'm just weird that I instinctively move the buildings with WASD with left hand, then switch to arrow keys to move the rat with right hand. Made it feel weird that I had to remove my hand from the keyboard to scroll the mouse. I originally thought the buildings will top off like tetris and didn't realise they were piling up on top haha. Also wish I can hold the keys to move things because there was a lot of rapid tapping as more buildings needed maintenance, and that gets tiring. Still a nice simple game though
Absolutely love it, great concept and gameplay!
This is the cutest game I've played so far! And the tactical thinking of moving falling blocks to good position and then continuing to fix other problems was quite unexpected.
