The game is so good — I didn’t expect to have this much fun in a stealth game. Thanks for this and good job.

Developer

Thanks so much!

Ice physics straight into all those traps is diabolical, I loved it!

Super short, super fun!

Well done!

Thank you! Im happy you liked it!

Very well done!!!

Nice dynamic difficulty with the guards knocking themselves out. My fave parts were the slippery sections!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

I like the interpretation of theme of this one. The slippery floor was a fun challenge.

Developer

Thank you for playing!!! Im glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

I like how the level doesn't restart when you die, but you get to play as another rat trying to finish what the previous one couldn't. Had a blast playing it, great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)

This one is pretty well made! The sprites are cute and the controls are good to use (even in the slippery parts I always hate in other games). I only got 12 cheeses and I think the death count is wrong cause it told me I died 1 time when I died like 10 XD. Great job!

Developer

Yea i think the death counter is a little off from a debugging feature I forgot to disable... Lesson learnt lol. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Very satisfying game to move through the guard's detection! Incredible work for your first game! 

Developer

Thanks so much! 

Submitted

Cool project! Very interesting theme interpretation. Making a floor slippery was a great idea! 


Developer

Hahaha thanks for playing!

Submitted

Great first game! Nice cohesive chunky pixel art style. I'd love for the missions to be timed, because I had a few flow-state moments of running past all the guards in perfect timing which was very satisfying.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Im glad you liked it :) Also the timer idea is great might have to implement post jam :)

Submitted

Really cool first project! The guards getting drunk after catching you enough times is really fun, and the slippery beer sections were a nice shakeup.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

This was really fun! I'm not very good at this kind of game, so I absolutely loved that the warehouse workers would get taken out if they shot me enough times. That made the game extremely playable, which was a very pleasant surprise (for my skill level). Well done!

Submitted

Awesome effort for your first game mate, loop is polished and loved the environment you set up. Blood particles were cool too! Great work, enjoyed playing this one. Bloody guards were trickier than i expected hahaha

Developer

Thanks bro I appreciate your comment! Thank you for playing :)

Submitted

Very impressive for your first game!

I had a lot of fun scurrying, the bits after the soap(?) where you lose traction were pretty cool too!

Well done :)

Developer

Thanks for playing ! :)

Submitted

This game is really well polished especially for your first one! I definitely enjoyed (and needed) the workers passing out from too much beer haha

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked the beer! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

WOW! I loved this. The layout of everything was great and felt very balanced while still very challenging (the beer parts killed me!!). Fantastic job. Very very fun to play!!!

Developer

Thank you  so much! I'm glad you liked it! :)

pretty good feeling on scurrying around, with the sound effect.

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Great job on making your first game! This was fun!

Submitted

This is a great game, especially if its your first game ever. Good job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Nice work! I appreciate that the collision boxes on the traps and guards were forgiving, especially when you get greased up from the puddles :)

Developer

Thank you for playing! :)
