Stunning art and music. Really incredible. The reverb on the BGM gives a very 'haunting' vibe, fantastic feels. Great work!
Really Loved the Art Style.Enjoyed a Lot
the entire game and music slowing down when the timer gets low is such a nice touch
WOAHH THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much, your art is incredibly adorable and charming and I'm so happy you enjoyed the game so much! I can take the smoke for the pipe puzzle, I rushed its implementation lol
Oh my goodness this is so cool
Very GOOD GAME loved it!
It was a bit hard but probably skill issue for me.
Could you also rate my game?
Hey hey! Glad you liked the game! Always happy to return the favour (we've gotten so many ratings its hard to keep up!)
From one clocktower game to another, I'm looking forward to giving your game a try!
Thank you
Amazing game!! I loved it!! 10/10
WOW! incredible work! Congratulations!
whoever the game designer was, very good job
I love squishing rats and eating gears!
clear evidence of sleep deprivation as I read this as "i love eating rats and squishing gears"
the true game jam experience does not include sleep :)
the music , sound and visuals are absolutely incredible! Really enjoyed this one
Simply a masterpiece!
the art and music are fantastic
Gorgeous game I love it
The music and the player slowing down as time runs out feels very immersive and makes gameplay feel much more intense! Absolutely stunning in every way, so much polish everywhere!
Gorgeous art style and pretty good audio (voice acting, BGM, SFX)
Really sets the tone for the whole game.
It's incredibly polished. :))
Absolutely amazing all around! Only note is that the rat king can be cheesed by lodging behind them!
my poor child the rat king, never did I believe he would be bested so easily
Thank you so much for playing and the kind words lol, I'll revisit the boss one day perhaps
Very nice! We originally had a similar idea before chucking it out for being too ambitious. Beautiful art. I liked the boss. That was great!
Thanks so much!! Actually the idea we almost went with would've involved counts in nobility, I'm quite glad we made the pivot to what we have now haha. Thank you for playing and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I got humbled
poorly maintained machinery tends to do that to you when you're a magic doll lol
This was so incredible, such strong style and personality, wonderful music and audio design, everything works in tandem with each other. When time is running out the music and art reflects that, when everythings alright I have a physical sense of relief. The bait with showing 0/20 in the bottom right for it to become a boss fight was also really nice!
Incredibly done and incredible execution it doesn't feel like a game made in 4 days! :D
I actually didn't even realize until you brought it up that the repair counter still updated even at the boss floor - that was completely unintentional BUT I'm gonna pretend I'm all clever and designed that on purpose soo
Thank you for the praise and I'm so happy you enjoyed the game!! Game would be impossible in 4 days if not for the talented people in my team.
Its not a bug its a feature!
Love it! Incredible art and sound design, there is even 100+ illustrated assets? Did the artist even get enough sleep xD.
We were all incredibly tired by the end of it, it was a massive challenge but I think I speak for all of us when I say it was worth overcoming it all! Thank you so much for the praise :)
