I was crazy once...
This weird rat game is the most fun I've had with any LD game so far. Its kinda crazy...
This game is surprisingly fun for how simple it is. The art style is also very simplistic but very cool. I couldn't manage to get past the fat rat unfortunately... It kept damaging it even after I gave it 3 little mouse to eat. Great job!
@bluedandelion Thanks for playing the game! You have to drag the rats directly on to the fat rat's head. On that note though, the hitbox for it is pretty small, so I'll probably increase it in size in a patch after the jam.
I was really confused at first about this game. It looks very much like a meme game, but there actually is something :sweat_smile: . I think that is also the reason why you have so little reviews as of writing this review.
The game itself is quite well made (great job for making it in C). It's a bit repetitive for my liking. Although I also has issues getting past the fat rat, it kept eating me even after feeding it. Very cool you also made an online leaderboard!
Some improvement could maybe be made in the Ludum Dare page to attract some more players. Also, maybe you can highlight where the cheese is or not make the rest of the room entirely dark, the beginning of a day was sometimes very unclear.
I made a super rat and it was very fast. 11/10
@ayxs Thanks for the great feedback, I took a moment to improve the LD page of the game. Originally, I was gonna make the room fully visible for a few seconds before the start of a day, and I'll think about implementing that after the jam.
Crazy and fun, I'm committed to fusing rats, which I think will allow me to pay attention to just one. The field of view is very restricted, which is in keeping with the theme. c writing feels like it requires a lot of technical force, very admirable. Nice work!
the idea is good, it reminds me of the old flash games, eh nostalgia. Otherwise, it's still great gameplay and a funny story, I'd add music to make it better, but it's still great
truly impressive by how this game was written in pure C and all aspects of the game were literally done by just one person. I kinda love the concept here which is really creative, feel like this game is so underrated. The game is so well polished and really enjoyable, you even made an online leaderboard! What a madlad.
Not the most fun or prettiest or best sounding LD game I've ever played. But it absolutely is the most disturbing. I'm afraid of rats now, thank you.
Very few horror games have really creeped me out from LD, but this one definitely did it which I find hilarious because the game is also hilarious. I love it.
Great work!
The idea is really funny! It's pretty creative too with the use of the theme, as well as having a pretty solid atmosphere.
graphics are ok, but I will say I feel like blend well stylistically with the absurd concept. the game controls well but gameplay wise it becomes somewhat repetitive. I struggled a bit with fat rat, I managed to overcome it eventually after a few replays, but a bigger hitbox would be really welcome!
pretty good overall!
This was a lot of fun! I recorded myself playing to provide extra feedback:

**Edit**: Aaaand I just noticed the video was poorly cropped so you can't see the top of the screen. whoooops!
The difficulty curve was perfect. I only ever dropped to about half-sanity (though the cheese meter was very close to running out a few times) so I don't know what else the sanity stat does, but the cheese running away was a delightful surprise!
I love the story cutscenes, and the extra messages explaining the new mechanics as they get added. The amount of stuff in this game is crazy.
crazy? I was crazy once...
The beginning cut scene is such a piece of art :D also those mutant rats, shouldn't have played with fire
