This is absolutely brilliant. I love it. The idea of being a rat that runs out of its mouse hole to steal cheese then has to get back to his mouse hole before I assume the humans get back and catch him is an awesome idea. And the cheese will weigh the rat down so you have to be strategic in which ones you get? That is a nice touch. This game has so many possibilities for expansions too like unlocking the other rooms of the house. If they were laid out like how the creator of Tinykin made his levels it would be a lot of fun. Or look at the Supraland series. Those have a lot of creativity in their level layout.
Critiques:
- I don't like the camera. It's too quick when you look around. But it does make for a nice action rat cam.
- The cheese should carry over from round to round. I went out the hole and forgot to buy only to find out my cheese reset. Sad Face. It's more an issue in the beginning cuz you do put enough cheese for everything in the shop. But its harder to collect everything in the beginning and easier to just collect what you need so keeping an inventory would be helpful.
- The lives should be what keeps your run going. Otherwise I am not sure what they are for since you lose all progress if the timer runs out and 1 life. Edit - O yall have fall damage. Ok the lives are also a health system. Gotcha. I would have 2 separate systems. I have the same issue with Repo. Where I collect all these power ups only to die to something dumb and lose everything. One time I jumped off a ledge, landed on the corner of a chair in the art museum level to for some reason go prone and get shot across the room right into a hole. Like cmon. lol. I think that game should have collectible lives too. Not a lot. Just enough to mitigate the dumb reasons you die. Gunfire and Abyssus have 1 revive when you solo.
- You should be able to collect the cheese even when on top of it instead of just when it is in front of you. By round 9 I was going so fast, I was having a hard time lining up the mouse with the cheese. lol
But yeah I love this game. I hope you guys push it to a full release. Great job.
