This game is probably one of my favourite submissions so far! I really like the subtle creepy feeling that the game created in my head. I love the interaction with the biscuits it just felt so rewarding and satisfying to get them into the basket. Simply lovely! You should be really proud of yourself mate! :D

This game is simply a masterpiece, one of the best submissions I've seen. I'm amazed you managed to create so much. It looks outstanding - visual effects, animations, puzzle elements, and roguelike features added - just brilliant, everything deserves top marks

Waste FlushSubmitted276 days ago(+1)

Third best rat scavenger on the entire planet reporting! Very fun concept, looks extremely well but didn’t really keep me engaged for too long, not really big on the back-n-forth thing but that’s just me.

Had some frustrating moments due to physics, biscuits being stuck in a tight hole they SHOULD pass through on day 2 I think? But yeah, it’s a jam.

Overall, hope it gets fleshed out one day because we need more rat gaming

Loved the game! very well done for just a week of development. I wish there was a bit faster to progress, buy upgrades and all that just for the sake of the jam, since there are so many games to play. Thank you for the experience.

SheerAwesoSubmitted277 days ago(+1)

Honestly, pretty cool game. Fit the theme well. Really really sick gameplay loop. Though, maybe "E" isn't the best interact button, since pulling an object and moving to the right felt really awkward. And also, I found that just pushing the object instead of pulling it worked and felt a lot better lmaooo. In fact, I was able to push the heavy rare biscuits without the strength upgrade lol

This game was amazing! Art was great, controls were mostly polished, and it was really fun to play! I did find a bug, however. Once you have a backpack, if you try to grab one of those big boxes, it will go into your backpack and start to push you in the direction you were going. That was what ultimately killed me on day 11! Otherwise, this game was amazing!!

The style feels so reminiscent of Limbo while still feeling like it's own. The gameplay in general was fun, and I loved that I had a bunch of "aha!" moments while playing, I never felt like I was being railroaded, I got to discover better ways to succeed on my own. Awesome work!

aikaiaiSubmitted277 days ago(+1)

Your score-based game fits the jam’s theme really well. I really enjoyed the phrasing and the language used in the game. I did run into a small issue though. On the WebGL build the attack didn’t work for me. But the idea itself is great, and the day-to-day rotation is just cool.

Submitted

Tim van den EngDeveloper277 days ago(+1)

did you find the sword before attacking? After day 4 you get the sword to attack. Thanks for letting me know <3

aikaiaiSubmitted277 days ago

Oh, now I get it! At first I thought the sword should be given right away, because at one point there were already lots of enemies taking the cookies, and I had no way to fight back!

Tim van den EngDeveloper277 days ago

haha that's okay it's a little misleading because of the control scheme at the bottom of the game window (my mistake). Try to make it to day 4 and you'll see you can finally kill those pesky flies!

Because of all the people saying they want a full game I'm considering just grinding for a couple weeks and pumping out a steam release. However I want to see how the game does in the jam first. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for playing <3

AXaViaNSubmitted277 days ago

Loved the game! It doesn't feel like a jam game at all. I think you should definitely release this as a full game.

Btw I encountered one bug. When you buy a backpack, you can pick up boxes and there is no way to drop them. I accidently got the big box and the game went crazy :D

Submitted

Tim van den EngDeveloper277 days ago

oh my god that has completely slipped through quality control hahaha. Well that's why its a game jam game and not a full release lmaoo

Dude that's awesome! Wishlisted it immediately. I hope it blows up.

I can’t join Discord (it's blocked in my country) but I subbed to your youtube

Tim van den EngDeveloper218 days ago(+1)

Awesome thanks immensely for your support! Is the discord server specifically blocked in your country or is discord as a whole blocked in your country? Otherwise maybe I could resolve it :3

AXaViaNSubmitted218 days ago(+1)

Discord as a whole unfortunately :(

Tim van den EngDeveloper218 days ago(+1)

Awwe man, That's a bummer! Well if you really want to join the free open play-test you could send me an e-mail and I'll send you the game files in a couple of weeks. I would love your feedback!

Again don't feel pushed or anything do whatever you want, If you don't want to join the playtest that is 100% okay! I'm already super duper happy with your wishlist!

You can send me an e-mail to this adres if you are interested! :)

pwdlSubmitted277 days ago(+1)

I loved the feel of this one. The footsteps did grind with me after a wee while, maybe a bit too loud. To be honest when the intro screen came in I knew right away that this was going to be good! :)

I did find it harder than I thought I would once the game started for real. But got the hang of it. A wee graphical glitch on the tail when falling from a height, but as a dev would played with soft body physics for the first time for my game jam submission - I understand it. :p

The grayscale environment is great and those damn flies... Grrrr...

Very stylish with a lot of leeway to be creative in how you try and optimize the motion of the biscuits through the physics system. A reasonable amount of friction for the weight/shape for getting biscuits makes for fun physics manipulation.
