the tiny monster climbing out while jack is still asleep is a great start. the fireplace and the patches of lamplight made it easy to remember which room i was in even when i was dodging rats. i broke the bedroom table on one run and watched jack go from peaceful to annoyed. after reading how the wider shots can wreck even more of the house i can see why youd want to leave a little space between a rat and the couch before firing.
that yellow alert mark helped me spot the first rat but once two of them were on top of me i had trouble seeing which one was about to bite. id give the bite a tiny windup with a brighter outline and a hop back after contact so theres a clear moment to dash past it. id also make the mood bar pulse when something breaks and briefly show what broke. that would teach you why jack is getting mad even if the table was offscreen.
florian and xxdarkswag if you both get a chance to play purr or treat: the midnight reef id love to get a rating and a note from each of you on what youd tweak.
