Lol they weren't rodents. They were just businessmen, but the art style was very low resolution and I'm sure my actual art skills didn't help any. I definitely agree that the gameplay wasn't that riveting. I was happy to just complete something though.
UI was definitely something I need to work on. I didn't do enough research, and I thought I was just going to use ImGui since it's a portable UI framework, but I realized the version of the actual game framework I was using doesn't support it. So last minute I had to pull together some janky UI.
