Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
Yes - Everything but grass and water sprites.

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
Yes - only one sfx is not ours.

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
Well it's just two rats who are totally in the right mind set! We incorporated the theme in the rat's mindsets, along with using something that might not be so stable if used incorrectly, such as bombs/nuclear! The composer also tried to give the unstable energy in the background music!

5 star for helping me dominate the world with my frend mice Rats :D Great game

Submitted

I had some of the same issues with crafting and hitting the win condition even when I should've lost. But it was fun. Made me think about the show Pinky and the Brain. The font used is nice but I feel like it would've been more at home in a medieval style game. And maybe this is more a personal thing but I kept thinking that I would've liked to see this a laboratory setting. The big thing though is I feel like I'd have liked to see the unstable theme used more. Obviously, the characters are more than a bit unstable and they're creating a dangerous weapon but I feel I would've liked to see the creation of dangerous compounds used more instead of simply crafting something that you know is unstable. But great job! Hopefully this doesn't come off as too critical or anything.

Nice game, really fun to play! Love the cute mice rats!

Submitted

Great idea and a really cute project. Good job

Submitted

Hey ! Nice game ! The mice are really cute <3
I successfully blown up the world before to reach the 5k cap, I don't know if its normal or what, just telling you :p

Thank you very much! I also ran into this issue while I was able to fully play test after I exported to HTML5 and I honestly have no idea why it always gives the win condition when it didn't on Windows export😭 I will try to fix it after the jam ratings are over! 💖

Great incremental game with and very cute art style! Love it! Great job! Took some time to access the bench for crafting because i could not interact with it from the front but after that it really ramped up nicely.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah Im trying to figure out why you cant use he bench from all angles as it has the same coding for detection as the other interactables. 😅 Hopefully I can figure it out and can fix it for after the jam is fully over!

Submitted

Thanks for fixing the bugs and crash! The game is really satisfying to snowball like crazy, the artstyle is really cute and reminds me alot of the flash games i used to play as a kid. It would've been really nice if you could have a small indicator to see the cost of buildings in the crafting menu. Other than that, really cool!!!

Developer

Yep! And thank you again for your feedback and comments.  I wanted to add an indicator so glad to know it is probably desired. Will try to make some time for little QoL like that next time!

It's a good polished game. I only wish the map was bigger and had more stuff to do than just walking around and gathering atoms. But for a jam game, it's really good.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I had the map bigger originally but I realized I wasn't going to have time to add other things to do in the short time I had to work since I could only for 2-4hrs each day that I had to pivot. If I ever decide to keep building on this, I'd love to add other things to do!

The tutorial art and style and the text in it are SOOOO GOOODDDDDDD, I def will try to copy the style sometime. the gameplay sucks mostly because im not into idle stuff, I wish there was music. and I wish there was more to do than just gather atoms. Goodjob overall

Developer

Thank you! I knew the game style wouldn't be for everyone, but I still appreciate you trying it out :3
Also I wonder why you could not hear the music. I have not run into that issue yet myself. There for sure is music and sound effects so I'll have to see if I can get that issue to happen for me.

Thanks again!

Submitted

Replayed and yea turns out the sounds issue is local sorry!!! The music is actually pretty good

Submitted

Could not build the sucker, I had the resources, but pressing R near the table did not do anything :(

Developer(+1)

You have to be on the sides of the crafting table and then press R! For some reason I couldn't fix the bug where it wouldn't open if you're standing under it. Hopefully that works for you, thanks for giving it a try! 💝

Submitted

I really enjoyed this! It's almost like an incremental idle game which I think is pretty neat. Loved the little mice rats!
