It was hard to navigate sometimes, when the mouse was off screen, but I had my fun with the game. It's simple, clear and stylish. 

A few thoughts to improve the concept:

-  it would be cool to make scaling decisions that will requare combination of actions or right timing

- I also imagine there could be larger levels with checkpoints after hard skillcheks and some vertical scrolling to add an exploration based on given endless wall jumps

Hi, thanks for playing my game and for the feedback! As for the mouse going off screen occasionally, you need to full screen the game to see the full view and unfortunately can’t see the whole thing without doing so. Sorry about that.

Very cool concept and nicely executed! Something kept killing me on the final screen in the bottom right if I wasn't a tiny boy, and a few parts where the rat went offscreen were difficult to navigate, but overall an enjoyable game!   

Developer

Glad you enjoyed our game! Sorry about the bug where you kept dying at the bottom right on the final screen. I haven't ran into that myself, so I'll be sure to look into that. As for the parts where the rat went off screen, that is because you have to full-screen the game in order to see the full view. Not convenient I know, but thanks for playing!

Ahh I see! Played again on full screen and had no problems at all :) Not sure what that bug was, tbh I might've been catching the spikes by accident.

I loved the pixel art, very interesting character. Short but fun game! Usually i hate platformers, but the way the slime sticks to the walls adds a lot. Controls felt so good also. GG

Nice slimy sounds.

Short but fun!! I would have added a bit more of levels for better taste "it was way too short :(", yet i loved the idea of a slime rat growing in size, great work!

This was short but fun, you could really have go further with the idea, I really hope to see more. Congrats !

I love the art and sfx

loved the art direction, great job!

Another rat game \o/ this was fun to play. I liked the art and the levels. Would've been nice if you could also shrink while also moving (I could only grow) but otherwise it was good!

Nice art, the only critique i would give is falling is way too slow

The squelching noise when Slime Rat moves is so perfectly nasty. Like everyone else said, could definitely use some more levels but under the circumstances, I understand that. A lot of fun! 

I did run into a bug where I could smash through rocks even when I was tiny. Which was kind of cool.

Developer

Yeah I had a friend who played the game who also ran into that bug. I tried replicating it to figure out the cause but I can’t replicate it. Anyways I’m glad you enjoyed the game!

Good interpretation of the theme and I really liked the color palette/atmosphere that you went with.

Neat little game! The breaking sound was a little loud, but other than that, well done.

Submitted(+1)

Great fun game. Like the style and feel of the game. Wish there was a few more levels, but great work.

Super cute, love the rat animations, great concept!

Submitted(+1)

loved the cute running animation, fun game overall!

The rock breaking sound is so loud! I felt like the grow/shrink mechanic was a little under used. The art style is great!

Submitted(+1)

As a fellow rat enjoyer, this game was a good rat game, I loved your art style and the sounds are really nice and squishy, I would have liked if the grow/shrink could be done midair and maybe bound to the mouse wheel (haha get it) for more fluid controls and it would make for some cool satisfying moments where you jump and change mid air, anyways good job!

Thank you fellow rat enjoyer!
