Ranked from 45 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Many elements of the game are based on countdowns, but the main one is the rat's lifespan. You play as a rat. You start on an island and need to find a way to reach the other islands. You can craft weapons to increase your damage in fights, and you can craft the same weapon multiple times to stack its damage bonus. Your goal is to find a way to leave the planet.

I felt stupid playing this game, INCREDIBLE

Cool game. I think a lot of the minigames are solid but some could use some touch-ups like the one where you have to count the gold squares. Nice work nonetheless

At a point I started to feel like a misunderstood rat. Very fun interpretation of the theme! I don't know that I've seen microgames used in a combat system quite like this, I had fun with it! 

Developer

Thank you, haha! Yes, I plan to keep working on this mechanic, and I'm glad you liked it. :)

Congratulations on the great work! I thought your interpretation of the jam theme was really clever. It was a unique idea, and you turned it into a very enjoyable game. I had a great time playing it.

Hope you get the chance to play my game too.

ahahahaha, okay, it's extremely unexpected that I'll be controlling a rat, it's very interesting and unusual, that's why it turned out so cool, great job!

Haha loveeee the mini games and lore in this game, I enjoyed playing! Great job :)

Survival crafting is very ambitious for a jam but fits the theme well! Rat was cute and had a solid mustache. I found some of the mini-games long and tiring, especially the count the squares. I thought the maze mini game was great and fit the theme for a rat very well. Would love to play more if it were maybe one or two rounds per battle.

Developer(+1)

I'm happy you liked the mustache—it was an important feature to me haha

Thank you so much! I will continue working on the game after the jam and polish it a lot.

This was super creative! I was not expecting the crafting elements, or the tricky minigames, and I love the EVIL RAT sound, haha

I agree that I think the battle rounds should have been lower, it got a bit tedious fighting people. But really clever ideas!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Cool game! The design of Mrs. Rat got a chuckle out of me.

I do wish the battles had fewer rounds though - the ones against the golems went on kinda long, even with the sword upgrades. Also, I think it glitched somehow, and it wouldn’t let me pick up and more diamonds after I had made the diamond sword, so unfortunately I didn’t finish.

Still a nice concept though! Good stuff overall.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, unfortunately there are some random bugs that I'm only noticing now. Next time I'll focus more on making the game stable and balanced instead of adding last-minute features, haha. It's really cool to know that you made it that far, though!

Took me a while to  understand the inventory system. Interesting premise.

The mini game ideas are interesting for combat. The counting one is a bit tedious/tiring after a while.

really fun game and huge lore for a game jam game. good job man!
