The wall jump is a little sticky, but a lot of fun to play around with when you get used to it! What a great little platforming experience, thanks for this. Also, the animations on the rat are really well made!
I really like that you unlock stuff during levels. Adds versatility
I would recommend making cookies as optional collectible in level, it would fit more with the theme
Overall nice platformer, good luck
Nice platformer! I love the little mouse’s movements xD the wall jump is well done and I didn’t have any trouble playing it. In one level, I don’t remember which, I got the cookie and died on the spikes, but luckily it still counted the win hahaha.
Oh wow, ok, I think this is a pretty solid platformer. Controls feel right to me. I think there's a basis for a full game here
Nice one! I was also thinking about the game with a rat chasing cookie, but with a bit different mechanic! Nice audio setup and idea! The only thing - environment feels a bit too big for that little player model
Great controls and challenging levels - always happy to play a game about a cute rat!

Neat little game, could not pass this spot at all, too hard.
Nice rat animations, great controls.
Really loved the game!!! i really ain't the best with controls but this game really teached me how to use them :)
Pretty enjoyable and challenging game. The rat’s design and animation is well done as well as the music loop
pretty fun and satisfying game. love the wall jumping but somtimes it gets a bit outof hand and i die. but other than that great game :D 9/10
So cute rat animation. You also got smooth wall jump, nice work
Remind me of bad rats!
Enjoyed playing!
The jumping we very very well implemented and feels fluid and natural.
Rat animation is very cute.
I am terrible at jumping puzzles, and I enjoyed this one and made it past the first double-jump level; then I ran out of steam (but did not get frustrated; just done.). Levels are well-designed and solvable for mere mortals.
Kudos for option to mute sound.
This one is a good parkour 2D platformer, no doubt, and I really love the rat running animation. Plus, the music is both slightly irritating over time yet great at the same time. It's just that it's not the most polished game jam entry I've seen, and it could use a few improvements, such as the dashing being a bit overpowered, the controls being a bit more precise (But the controls are definently responsive nonetheless), and add a lab background to really set the mood for "Lab Rat". Also, I think you got the spikes from the Pixel Adventure asset pack by Pixel Frog. Overall, 3.5/5 stars. It's a good 2D platformer, but I think since you're a beginner in Unity, you can still improve, and I think it could use a few improvements here and there.
Thanks for the feedback! Certainly room for improvement, I still lose a lot of time figuring things out along the way so naturally had to make some cuts like the background for example. Over time I'll get faster and have a more streamlined workflow, at the end of this game jam I already noticed things I would've done differently.
No asset packs were used, the spikes are created in Aseprite :)
Thanks a lot for playing!
Oh, my mistake about the spikes, khaltore. It's just that they looked similar to the ones from the Pixel Adventure asset pack.
a cute rat, i felt very bad whenever they were impaled :( the wall jumping was tricky to master but I like the level design :) nice game!
