such a cool and funny idea, had a lot of fun playing. i wished the game was a bit harder, but i really enjoyed it. well done!

Breathtaking! One of my favorites so far. Nice concept and realization. The moment rats turn into a giant rat feels so satisfying. What could be improved is that right now enemies shoot a few seconds after their death and barrels need to explode when you shoot them.

To conclude, awesome game with potential to build on it!

The idea is fun, and both the visuals and atmosphere is good. The gameplay could perhaps have used the rat swarm a bit more, for now it mostly feels like normal shooter. But overall a pretty well made jam game. Well done.

Nice visual effect with the mega rat, took me a while to realise they combine to form a big rat. There's some funny bugs with the enemies dying, think the delay on them dying causes their attack to still go through even though the model disappear.

I would have loved to play this, sadly it doesn't run on wine on linux. Any chance to get a linux export?

kevin-meissner 2024-10-08 12:18

oh, sorry no

Cool idea to make a game with rats and the game itself is very well made.

A very cool idea with the latest rat mutation. I spent a few tens of minutes pleasantly wandering through the sewers

ostqv 2024-10-08 13:21

I liked the game, the well-made location immerses you in the game process. The mechanics with the big rat also looks unusual, thanks for the experience.

Kudos too for Unreal ;) Nicely done, I enjoyed the experience.

Your game is very similar to mine, only I have cubic minimalism and you have AAA =) Cool graphics and a nice rat controller. It's easy to get lost in the sewers)

This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

master-yeet 2024-10-08 19:44

Not sure if this was an inspiration, but it reminded me a bit of A Plague Tale, but you play the rats which is a cool idea! Becoming a mega rat was satisfying and felt badass. My only complain is that even though we kill the enemies fast (0hp), they still stay alive for a bit and still deal their damage.

dome-hankoczki 2024-10-08 19:53

I suggest releasing it on Steam. Well done! Maybe adding more evolution levels, enemies and some basic objectives would be nice.

greenstone00 2024-10-08 20:17

The Concept is so good. Also I realy like the mega rat evolution form, really imaginative :3

lelek-hunor-kadosa 2024-10-08 20:18

The ambient and the idea is awesome man. I really liked it. It would be so nice if the opponents could walk randomly and not only when they see you. Oh and also...I'm proud of you to (☞゚ヮ゚)☞

Pretty good! I did find that if you spam 'F' you can get multiple food from one corpse. Up to around 5.

plusonerabbit 2024-10-09 09:32

All around solid game but that mega rat is just something else! Really cool

risminator 2024-10-09 12:02

This game needs more ratings, it's so fun!

The sounds and timings of enemies' deaths are a bit clunky, but it's just a nitpick.

The megarat model and rat's shiny red eyes are something else haha. Throwing a bunch of rats into enemies is satisfying!

Thanks for the game and congrats on 20 ratings ;)

kevin-meissner 2024-10-09 14:15

@master-yeet You are right Plague Tale was part of our inspiration :-)

ok I was super impressed by the mega rat.

super good looking entry! the look of the sewers is very nice along with the ambience, I also like the idea that the upgrade resource is the ammo and health at the same time, would love to see more rats evolutions

it felt a bit unfair that it was impossible to dodge the purple guy shot as he would fire even if i try to kill him super fast

very nice that there was a boss to beat and a micro story to follow

solid!!!

Very cool game! The megarat made me laugh so much hahaha And the animation is very well done! The only problem I had, the first time I played, I think I made a right turn, and I couldn't find any enemies But the second time I had plenty! Keep up the good work

Graphics was fire! Loved the concept of creating a big swarm good job guys!!

ecaterina 2024-10-10 13:48

I like the concept, and I’m impressed by the amount of work done in just 48 hours, especially the graphics. Well done!

jeiji 2024-10-10 15:18

The game is very cool and there are no bugs, I was hooked for about 20 minutes, if only the game were smaller, there would be no downsides at all, but everything else is great.

petr-vejchoda 2024-10-10 15:37

Team rodents FTW

dean-goodson 2024-10-10 18:43

I WON! I really really enjoyed this game! The gameplay loop felt super unique and had me totally locked in the whole time! Amazing work!

ethernal-tech 2024-10-10 20:50

I do wish it was a bit harder, but overall, I really enjoyed it! The visuals are fantastic, especially when the rats transform into a giant rat—such a satisfying moment!

Great job on creating something so enjoyable. Keep up the amazing work! :))

migeru 2024-10-11 00:03

I loved the idea and the animations. Great game, I wish you keep developing it to get even better

bassilij 2024-10-12 06:58

Great game! I went all the way from the second time. I really liked it!)
