- A simplistic game very much inspired by Limbo (I assume) that creates a very chilling and mysterious atmosphere with very little! Absolutely phenomenal combination of art, sfx and designs. Gameplay was repetitive, especially since some of the later jumps seemed to be impossible (I believe this is due to a slightly buggy hitbox on the rat). With some polish, I would absolutely love to carry on playing this game!

Cool game! Great art and atmosphere!
At first I didn't realize how the green boosters worked but managed to figure it out luckily
Thank you! Glad you liked it. I think I'll add more info about the boosters
The mood was really great, and the background sounds added nicely to it. The old film effect was cool too! The rat felt responsive, but I had a hard time getting past level 2. with all the spikes, and the time needed to accelerate the rat to "full speed" in order to make the jump. But I'm not a platformer, so this might be perfect difficulty for others. Anyway, I had fun playing it, and I hope you had fun making it!
It's really fun developing the game and I am so happy you liked it! I really appreciate your feedback
Yeah this was my very first jam! It's a really great experience and I had so much fun. Anyways thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
Love the old-fashioned and atmospheric art style and simple approach to a platformer.
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Great art style. Cool backdrop.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
