How does the game fit the theme?
The poor little mouse can't trust any of its surroundings. The rules change with each playthrough!
It shouldn't even trust its own aspirations. Or this laboratory. So basically... no one.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything is made from scratch.

Cool concept mechanically. Controls a little wonky. Played on stream with comments here:
Awesome game, nice visuals and it got me multiple times. Only one bug discoverd, when I spawned to new level (second one) I immediately get stucked behind the pizza.
I love the lil cute guy but why he pop :c
- Team ASS
The art and the sound are awesome, congratulations!
Very nice art, gameplay is nice and hints are easy to understand! fits the theme better than most, very well done! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
Thank you so much, we are so happy to hear that you liked our work! We had a lot of fun with the theme, and are glad to hear that it shows well in the game too! :D
Hey, your game has really cool music and the graphics are very polished. Just one thing I didn't quite get: I made some progress and got past the first trap, but then I got killed by the mousetrap. When I respawned, that little blue (aquatic?) strip kept killing me, and I didn't understand why. But it's a really great game!
Thank you for your feedback! Our artist and composer worked very hard, and we're glad to hear you liked the result!
The water really does become deadly on the second playthrough. Because the rules change every time. But you can still complete the level if you use the box to make a bridge over the water and cross it.
We fiixed the hint button in our latest bug fix, so feel free to use it if you're having trouble with any level.
Feel free to play our game again with fixed hints to help you along the way!
The art is the are really cute :ratjam:. The rewind / retcon mechanic has lots of promise to for puzzle. I got up to the Red is danger part but got stuck in the 2nd room. Could be my bad since I was able to go longer by hugging walls and avoid the 1st guillotine in the 2nd room. I did not get to the end but would love to try again to clear this :thumbs:.
I’ll keep my eyes on this in case there is a update.
Thank you so so much for playing our game! We are beyond happy to inform you that all of the game-breaking bugs are now fixed and you can experience the full game from the start to the end!
Also the whole team is extremely impressed with your skill since the previous bugs didn’t allow ANYONE to get that far. Thank you again for playing and we’re hoping you’ll like the finished game much more now! :D
I love the idea and arstyle! But I must admit gameplay itself is a little confusing. I couldn't figure out how to get through level on one of the runs.
Thank you so much! We have now fixed all of the bugs that might have been causing the confusion, so it should definitely be much more enjoyable now!
Really nice! Was really sad to see the rat die so many times haha
Thanks for playing and giving us feedback! The fate of the lab mice is very sad indeed...
By the way, we fixed all of the crucial bugs! Now the number of sad moments can be minimized.
Really love the art and idea of this game! Could use some bug fixing and making it more clear what can and cannot be interacted with or stepped on. Other than you guys made something really cool and if you could fix some bugs would love to try it again.
Thank you so so much, we are beyond happy to know that you liked the game! We have now fixed all of the game breaking bugs, so it is fully ready to be played from start to finish!
Silly rats chasing cheese, what a cute little adventure with a terrible undertone. Wouldnt show this to my little rats. It was a bit difficult to get some parts done and I could not understand how to stop the blue button from killing me, assumed it was disabling the power but the paperclip connectors dont seem to work when moving them. Fun game and art was done spledidly!
Thank you for your comment, we really appreciate it!
We're sorry you encountered difficulties during the walkthrough. The blue button is really tricky! At that level you need to press all the red buttons to open four red doors leading to the
gates of heavenexit.Next time you find yourself on this level, the blue button will be safe again. After all, the rules change and you can't trust anything!
Thanks to you, we realized that the hint button also wasn't working, but it is now back up and is designed to help you solve the puzzles.
Cute artstyle the game was a little buggy but isnt all of our games lol. Overall pretty good!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We have now fixed all of the game breaking bugs, so it’s 100% more enjoyable now and can actually be finished!
Really incredible artstyle, though the bugs did reduce my enjoyment a bit.
Thank you so much! We have now fixed all of the game-breaking bugs and would be super happy to see you try taking on the game again, to see ALL of the hand-drawn levels fully
Really loved the artstyle of the game!
Thank you so much! We have finished fixing all of the crucial bugs, so you can now experience ALL of the hand-drawn levels of the game!
great art style and some nice music
Thank you so much! We have now fixed all of the game-breaking bugs, so the gameplay should match them just as much too!
i love the rat but i cant get past the water at the spawn ;-;
Hi! We fixed all of the game breaking bugs, including the hint button now working correctly, so you are more than welcome to try taking on the game again! :D
Love the art. However I ran into a bug early on: When picking up the paperclip, i got stuck on the upper wall.
Beside that I feel like the drag-drop-movement mechanic could feel smoother overall.
Thank you for your feedback!
As one of our first players, you encountered some of the bugs we had at launch. We are very sorry that your experience was like this.
We've since fixed the item movement and collision issues. Now drag-and-drop works better, and we hope it makes the game more enjoyable. We've also fiixed the hint button!
We would be super happy if you could give it another go, and thank you again for taking the time to comment!
