How does your game fit the theme?
You play the same three levels in a loop, but they change every time—getting harder and more rewarding. You can also jump off one side of the screen and loop onto the other

The dancing rat on the end screen is the best game finale of 2025.
Really fun platformer, I loved the music! The cat at the beginning and the dancing rat on the game over screen are both absolutely wonderful touches.
Great platforming feel! Controls are tight, and the whole thing is really addictive. Great game!!! 🙌
Thanks for playing!
I got my brother to playtest a lot during this jam, he really likes video games, so he's great at telling me what I'm doing very, very wrong and what I'm doing okay at.
That's probably a big reason why the controls turned out well.
It gave me an Aha moment when I discovered how to progress on the first level. Nice game! Also, I got here because of the name of your game
Thanks for playing! I'm glad it gave you an "aha" moment that was exactly what I was aiming for. And yes, it is kinda crazy how three whole games in this jam have the exact same name. Great minds think alike
ratkour :fire:
Thanks for playing!
and yes, you're right, it is
Now I actually kind of feel sorry for him.
Really cool game! Interesting take on the theme - not sure I've seen anyone looping the map. It might honestly be one of the most fun games I've played so far on this jam
Oops sorry I didn't mean to reply twice. Seriously though, nice job

Thanks, I’m glad you liked it!
The game was definitely inspired a little by Celeste. I had only heard about it two days before the jam started, but it stuck with me I had it on my mind a lot while making the game.
I was especially inspired by the original game jam version of Celeste. It features wall jumping, but a lot of the time you’re just jumping along the sides of the screen.
So when the jam theme was revealed to be looping, my first idea was: what if, instead of wall jumping on the edge of the screen, you could jump out of it and reappear on the other side?
Sorry this is a late reply (I haven't been on itch for a small while), but such a cool source of inspiration! Definitely turned out well
Yeah I definitely have wanted to be a rat, many times.
Good game
Yeah not having to worry about taxes as a rat might be a dream just out of reach… But making a game about one? That’s totally within my grasp.
