wow... what a fun game??? i loved building up my mutant rat king blob, absolutely crashing through the sewer grate... made for some real big destruction, with a hell of a lot polish... also, 10/10 title

the music building up was a realllllly great element, good job yall, really great submission!

Absolutely my favorite game of the jam so far!! I'd be surprised if anything tops it. I'm not a big physics-game fan but something in me is just like "I want to play full game of this."

It's like Katamari crossed with Angry Birds, I've never really played anything like it. The camera-shake and noises you get whenever you break something, the way the funny little rats pulse, how the music kicks in once you start sticking them together...this game is just so polished and charming. On top of all that, the physics are robust and the levels are interestingly designed too. 

Incredible job!! I loved it.

I really like how you made physics in this game. Your team made a great job!

This game was unique! Nice mechanics with the "mouse ball".  My one gripe was that I had a hard time using the click-and-drag mechanics, but that's just a bit nitpicky

This really was a lot of fun, I hope you plan to export it to other platforms. It's awesome!

I feel guilty because of these poor rats :) Excellent level of game polish, everything just is in its place.

Amazing game! Such a high level of polish and very easy to learn and play. The fact that this was made in only a weekend is honestly astonishing. Great job everyone involved!

Great entry! The game overall had a very polished feel for the time frame, and the music layering was a great touch. Functionally it felt great, and worked very well. Very fun, and addicting play!

I love this game. The controls are simple and intuitive, visually, it's beautiful, and the level of polish on this game is simply remarkable given the time constraints. And of course, it's just plain fun! The music adding on more layers as you acquire more rats is absolutely brilliant, and I would have completely overlooked it had it not been mentioned to me. I hope this wins!
