ricardo-palma 2023-05-02 03:20

This game is amazing, and it has RATS. 5/5. Gratz!

Almost fumbled it with a last-minute bug but we got submitted in time.

Here's my PR from development (the one where I didn't cheat, anyway)

Okay wowo! I really like games where you can control multiple party members. They seems to be so rare and so few. I also like games like Cannon Fodder back in the 80s too. The music is.. inspired and the voice lines are well acted and make thematic sense! I also really like the scrappy/dingy art style! Well done!

Idk if this is just me, but the game was cropped weird on my screen. I couldn't really do anything :[Screenshot_233.png

@greatcadet Yeah, some browsers are having that issue and we aren't certain exactly what's causing it. You could try the desktop build if you're on Windows.

2023-05-02 06:23

Wow, cool idea!

merrow 2023-05-02 06:26

Funny as f**k, nice graphics and athmosphere. I didn't manage to deliver anything but enjoyed the journey with those dudes

annabella-t 2023-05-02 06:30

This felt very inventive and interesting. The map trail was a lot of fun to see

cloistered 2023-05-02 06:48

Cool game,i like it. Change people to do things is great,the crew humming is great.

braveskin 2023-05-02 06:48

So far this has been my favorite game I've rated. Excellent style and novel gameplay.

"Ok, one more try." - me at midnight yesterday trying to get close to 2:30

My first try where I thought I needed to change the speed and stop on the X's was 17:10, and my more serious tries hovered around 4-5 minutes. I think this setting is really creative! The art goes well will the pirate theming, and the catchphrases were perfect. Very catchy hum song. It would be nice to have a quick restart for when I know I made a wide turn and added 30s to my run - I guess that would be a speed run feature in your possible future items list. Great job!

rjdrag 2023-05-02 14:48

Really unique idea and cool/funny audio. Can get a little tedious though.

panekawastudio 2023-05-02 14:49

Didn't expect the music and the voice, gg guys haha.

triangle-point 2023-05-02 15:01

I honestly really like this game! The mechanic of switching characters on the fly to make sure the ship is running good is really fun! It’s got the perfect amount of challenge and the tense situation where you have all 3 characters doing different things are so fun. I also really like the navigation around the map, reminds me of iron lung! Love the audio and art as well! Super fun game!

samantha-keane 2023-05-02 15:24

Very much enjoyed this, the art style and concept are great but the audio is what made me keep wanting to play.

giornobanana 2023-05-02 15:43

Rats are funny, audio is incredible, this was truly great experience.

2023-05-02 16:44

This game is amazingly put together and I wish you all the best.

zeit 2023-05-02 16:45

At first, I may not have fully understood the guidance, but the music was very intriguing. Additionally, the multi-perspective operation of three characters collaborating together was a very impressive aspect that caught my eye. Overall, I think it was done very well!

brineleaves 2023-05-02 19:07

I LOVE THE ART! The gameplay is also really cool, switching between the different mice at different stations is neat and as more chaos spreads it feels very hectic in a good way. Controlling the ship is a bit difficult and clunky but I feel like that's intended. Also the music and voice acting's funny. Wonderful job!

space-games 2023-05-02 20:04

I love the whole idea! It was super fun multitasking between all of the different characters :D

ethernalstudio 2023-05-02 20:05

Wow, the game's graphics are nice, and the idea is really good too. It was pretty hard though to steer, I see that as a positive thing, it took a bit of time to master the whole game in the sense of knowing and understanding how things work.

jkyd 2023-05-02 21:09

That was super fun! The audio was great, love the art style, and the switching characters mechanic is a fantastic idea. Great submission!

mals 2023-05-02 21:49

Wow what a game! Very classic feeling. Great audio.

cocomendes 2023-05-02 22:10

Amazing idea, I love games that makes you manage ship crews like this, reminded me a bit of FTL at some point, music and sounds are lovely. Would love to see more of this in the future

fedora 2023-05-03 01:58

Really cool game, loved the multi-tasking aspect of it. Took me a while to figure out the cockroach showed you how much you were steering. After that it got a lot easier.

Pretty and fun game. Love the music. Haven't seen a similar idea for multitasking in any game yet, I like it. Also the little things add to the game like the steering indication with the bug and the cargo lever stuck are nice :D Good job!

drazil100 2023-05-03 07:14

Interesting concept! I couldn't figure out how to steer but switching between characters was fun.

mallansandan 2023-05-03 07:21

I have always wanted to play as a sky rat pirate spreading the plague

askide 2023-05-03 07:40

Nice game and idea. I like an sfx. But imho, there is pretty high chance of a emergency occurring. i literally had no time to build a path and monitoring an arriving to the next target location. Also it would be better to be available to change crew members in both ways)) Good job overall!

mow 2023-05-03 09:54

Awesome one ! Love the vibe, the audio is genius and the graphics are very cool ! Great job and I think I'll play a bit more of this :)

smeljey 2023-05-03 10:13

The game looks and sounds really funny, I love it! Very unique concept. Great job!

josephgallear 2023-05-03 14:28

Really great game, I love the characters and the music, and the feeling of rushing around and managing my crew was great. At first, I thought that the fires etc. happened a bit too often, until I realised that you can leave a crew member dealing with them whilst switching to the others!

ismael-rodriguez 2023-05-03 15:11

I really enjoyed the game's art style and concept. The audio added a fun touch to the overall experience, although I did find the kazoo-style music to be a bit repetitive after a while. Great job yall!

hakuinu 2023-05-03 15:22

sehr schönes art <3

sbeif 2023-05-03 17:15

funniest entry so far, loved the music. The art is cool although there is a bit too much contrast between the definition in the characters and in the ship. It also pulls you out a bit when you climb and it remains into a walking animation. But apart from that it's a nice game, good job!

0x-void-x0 2023-05-03 18:45

"wait are we the badies?" lol, I love this game, it seems complex at first but the mechanics are pretty manageable, the idea is creative and the art style helps the mood a lot, congrats to everyone that worked on this, voice actors included! you did a great job

alisher-fazilov 2023-05-03 20:21

Well done, it was an interesting game, I liked it.

picross 2023-05-04 04:50

LOL this game is great! Super creative!! Fun mechanics and amazing art!

maximbegunov 2023-05-04 06:48

Great multitasking experience! I usually suck at these types of games but difficulty wise it's pretty balanced, very much manageable, beat it on the second try.

xcarl 2023-05-04 14:29

Very interesting idea. Super fun and creative, I liked it!

smdaniels 2023-05-04 18:14

Great representation of Sea of Thieves in 2D! The game definitely needs multiplayer to be triple fun! Awesome job!

2023-05-04 19:17

Diseased dirigible PB.png fantastic game

pedrohpf 2023-05-04 23:05

Was quite hard to manage every character, real fun game, very interesting approach. I do feel that the controls could be better, some times i struggled to get into certain placed, but the game was real fun. Well done!

jdemattos 2023-05-05 02:27

I'm cantankerous and it takes a lot to impress me, but I am really impressed with the art and delivery! I love the funny quips and voice acting lines as you switch and how they change depending on the rat you're using, like the captain doesn't like being in the engine room. The voices really flesh out the game a lot and make the rats feel unique. really awesome idea, loved seeing the location of the ship on the map and how your actions change them. Cheers!

bezedh 2023-05-05 13:23

Amazing ! :D loved that little crew, I can't wait to hear this music played by the london philharmonic orchestra the concept is really good, i hope you will keep exploring it !

matt-green 2023-05-06 00:06

This was great! I was doing really well until the engine caught on fire :joy:

The little flea indicator! The characters! This almost feels like a I movie I would have seen in the 90s.
