The game is fun and very crazy. The design is simple, but everything works perfectly. I wish there were more levels! And I like the sounds, they're funny.
I feel sad every time a mouse gets caught in a mousetrap. I giggle every time a person explodes. Well :)

god i love being a rat swarm. 10/10
Fun game, I stayed at the end and spawned so many rats that frames dropped XD. Good job!
Man this was so funny! My only crit is initially it wasn't obvious which rats I was controlling, then I realised I could just spawn more and more!
The absolute chaos that was ensued was great, even though the graphics aren't the best I actually think even if something like this went into full production it benefits from a super minimalistic art style like this.
Great job!
@marknormington Thanks! Years of mobile development have left a deep mark on me! haha

Wery funy game! I like that rat sound and stylize effects. It would be cool if there was some way to lose, or have restrictions on how many rats spawn, but maybe then it wouldn't be as fun)

such a fun game, so simple and catchy
simple, rat and perfect ... i like rat
I love how people explode! It's a nice and satisfying reaction to my giant death ball of rats. I had so many I lost track of my cursor. But that didn't matter, I was more focused on causing terror with my army!

I liked the anarchy. The only bad thing was that the mouse arrow could have been more visible to see what you are doing.

This game has a flaw, that being how short it is!! What can I say that is NOT good about this game? From the sound to the gameplay to well, everything. Legitimately, really fun to just rat all over the place!! I really do suggest making a full version!

just an explosion of emotions! 🎮🐭 I couldn't come, create an army of rats and watch them wreak havoc! 😂 The effects of people exploding and the appearance of a giant swarm of rats were so fun and exciting that I just lost track of time.
The gameplay is very simple, but that's the beauty of it - it's incredibly addictive! Yes, sometimes it was difficult to watch the oxygen 🖱️, especially when the rat gets out of control, but this only adds a certain anarchic atmosphere to the game, which makes it even more fun.
Great work with effects and sound! Every "plop" and "explosion" creates a sense of fun and criminality. Even despite the minimalist graphics, this only adds charm to the game. the only thing I want is more levels.
Overall, amazing work! A great concept that definitely matches the sequel. 👏

Fun game! gets hectic pretty fast. I kinda wish that i didnt have to keep tapping to spawn the rats, gets a little tiresome after a while. Otherwise great game!

I ate all the people. great game feelings, interaction response is top notch :)
super fun game, I think you nailed it with the aesthetics as well. Awesome job!
I loved the chaos of watching my swarm grow and people explode. It got a bit tiring constantly clicking to spawn more rats, though, and I lost track of my cursor a few times. Overall, a really enjoyable and wild little game!

非常有趣的游戏,简单爽快,音效和击杀反馈都很带感This game is incredibly fun, simple yet satisfying. The sound effects and kill feedback are both incredibly engaging. It's a joy to play and offers a great gaming experience.
Good game :), good graphics noting that there was limited time on developing, my survival rate was... 33 percents, i tried getting cheese by parkouring on it but i then realized i could just spawn rat on cheese, overall good game!

My hand definitely hurts from spamming left and right click :sweat_smile:.
Very silly, very fun. I like all of the different effects going on here, the splatters when people pop are great. I felt like it could have used some kind of limit on the spawning, being able to spawn limitless rats removed the challenge from the game, but at the same time the control of them is not fine enough to guide a limited pool around every obstacle so I don’t know if that would have been better. Overall very cool.

It's really fun game. But I want some stimul for survive and mb limit to spawn rats in room. At all its great game!
This is ridiculous and so much fun! I loved it. Thank you!

It's a very fun game! :) From what could be added is more levels and for the mousetraps to also trigger on people when they run in panic.
