Very enjoyable concept, and the artwork has a lot of personality! The game is (understandably) rather short and I would have loved to see more levels, mechanics etc.; perhaps something to work on given more time? I'd be interested to see where this could go :)

Right?! The man just wants to merge human and gerbil DNA and have a socially acceptable excuse to run around in his ball 24/7.

Squeakers appreciates your help in getting their friends and themselves away from Dr. Bort von Gerbilstein!

Very cool idea! But the fact that every time you die you have to watch the intro and go through the menu was a little annoying

Thanks so much for playing and appreciate the feedback! Definitely a great point we'll consider if we continue developing this game!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the concept! You also make a good point about the flow. It may have been too cinematic for its own good... lol

Short but sweet, enjoyed playing through the level.! Also plus points for music, made it feel quite suspenseful

Thanks so much Teem! I put the music together in Ableton and really appreciate you recognizing the vibe I was going for!

Thank you so much! I'm humbled you enjoyed the character designs I made. Hopefully Gerbilstein's doesn't end up fueling your nightmares.
