- man I love rats
- This is a game where you gamble with the lives of rats, at a rat driven casino. Top tier, would gamble with a rats life again. It would be cool if it had some sound and stuff other than optional taylor swift songs though. Maybe a rat with a monocle who says "good job gent" or something with a pop off when you reach certain levels.
- Wow leah very cool keep it up proud of you

Alright, hello, I am going to legitimately review this game. This game has a fun idea: throwing around a squishy, physics-based rat. It feels like the sort of idea to be put in something like an accumulation game, where you just make a big number go bigger. This game also has quite nice graphics, i like the grainy shader effect. However, this game does have its issues: I have no clue what I'm even working for. If it's the rat jackpot, well, I'm about as lucky as managing to loose 18 troops to 2 in risk, so I'm blocked by my horrendous luck, but that's more a me issue, so I'll forgive that. However I still don't know the goal. I'm not even sure if its to get a lot of rats or points, but I guess it's just a skill issue of mine to not understand the funny haha rat game, right? Probably. Anyways, the second issue (which is more of a real one) is the rat clipping into anything and everything. thankfully the physics on the rat is so ridiculous that you can unclip it from anything, but it can really hinder the already minute gameplay, although seeing the rat stretch like crazy is fun, but my issue is when you can't get something funny out of it, which is most likely the entire point the game. It would have also helped if I could tell how horrendously unlucky I am, because honestly it would be pretty funny to see my debt skyrocket. In fact, I didn't get another rat until my 10th gamble. then I got lucky somehow with a rat just two gambles later. Then I lost all the rats I gained due to my ever falling off luck, which was kinda funny in this sort of sad way. Probably the last issue is the lack of stuff to do with anything, really. If you really committed to the 'big number go bigger' game, it would be massively funny to add more ways to increase points, like some sort of auction house to gamble even harder. Anyways back to me being positive: This game doesn't completely screw you over when something doesn't work correctly, which is nice! Back to the graphics: The models are quite good, and fit with the static shader effect. Overall, this game isn't really a game, but a commentary on society. I'm not going to elaborate, because honestly, this game feels like an enjoyable joke in itself. Good job somehow making a community-wide meme lol
I don't know if the in-game timer is made for speedrunning, but I made my own categories :)
i don't get it x3
pretty original tho! loved that!
still, missed in game sound. the dada feeling is awesome. game makes no sense and i really love that, still, not sure if i found it fun. x3
Bruh, very unique game, its kinda fun in a way! also, at some point my game froze and I needed to restart
there needs to be a tutorial. I put the rat in the slot machine after a minute of clicking around and then nothing happened.
I managed to get a super long glitchy, wiggly rat, and I'm gonna say that means I won the game. This was a lot more fun than it had any right being lol. Nice!
I never thought I would slam dunk a rat so now I can check that off the bucket list
I think that's kind of an achievement of being the first featured game by Acerola :D Nice work
So who am I in debt to, because that person is gonna get real mad. Good game
I can't tell if this is helping, or hurting my gambling addiction.
