Nice little run and gun! I lost my first round to spending too much time poking around and I eventually ran out of ammo. Seems like as long as you stay focused on gathering keys and heading to the exit, you should be fine. Getting multiple rat splats off of one missile felt good. Even better was getting the dynamite to go off right as some demolition rats passed by. Felt like justice.

Ha. Thanks so much. Yes, you've figure out the secret. The map starts off sparse, but the rats eventually seep into the map and swarm all over, and the Boomers will have block your routes and slowed you down. We're going to shake things up with Bruiser Rats, all muscles and commando with guns. And Brainey Rats that plant laser traps on walls and lay down turrets. Who knows, it might turn into a fun little game with some additional time and effort. I aprpeciate your giving it a shot
Good luck in the jam. I played and rated yours. High innovation score. I loved that mechanic.
