looked great. nice version of the looping character mechanic. i think it was buggy for me though, as after a few rooms I couldn't seem to progress, and buttons/switches weren't working and rats were disappearing.

nice work!

Developer

Thanks a lot!! I believe you are referring to the level with a purple block. The purple block " resets "  the rats in the level and every switch, door, leaver,... It's part of the level design :). I'd added more effects and particles to make that clear if I had more time hahaha 

I got stuck there too. I think part of the problem is you can't see what it's doing as it's doing it, because the other buttons are off-screen by that point.

First of all I love the tutorial, very clearly communicating without using any words!

I had that aha moment when the first rat died on the button and then the door was open :) Also idk how you made the graphics but I really like the trippy visuals. Feels very polished overall great work! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! The trippy effect is just a  distorted camera lens postprocessing :)

Great work! This is a great idea for a puzzle game like this. I felt bad the rats. Fun game, good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot!! Yeah it is indeed a bit sad hahah

Submitted

A little morbid how many rats' lives it takes for a single cheese, but alas, such is life. Also I pressed the button in the last stage a bunch of times and got many cheeses to spawn!!! Nice game

Developer

Yes indeed, cheese takes lives all the time 🤘😔

Submitted

Good job

Developer

Haha, I love this one! But why are Rats dying for the cheese and the culture? I enjoyed it; great entry!

Submitted

Super cool camera effect and nice puzzles!

PS: I think I found a bug where I could control 2 rats at once, though I'm not sure how it happened...

Developer

Cheers!! Yeah i'm aware, turns out you can force multiple spawns in a very edge case hahah

Developer

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a rubber room , a rubber room with rats and rats make me crazy

Submitted

I'm sad for the rats :'(

Good job coming up with the 'sacrificing for future lives' mechanic, I haven't seen that!

Developer
