Cutest main character ever. Great controls and lots of potential for more features. I wish there was more with the dice theme, like your speed/efficiency gives you more reels in the slot machine at the end for bonus points. But I also like that it was in defiance of luck :)
Yea, we wanted to keep the luck factor low to fit the feeling of overturning the odds. Glad you find our little rat cute! („• ᴗ •„)
This was a really nice time. Not what I was expecting with the concept of a partner in crime rat but definitely an interesting setup;, And there's some challenge there to try and get all 3 wires at once which is interesting. Though not incentivized, but that's a little hand to get into a jam sometimes so not surprising,. But it was fun to try and do even without that so that's awesome. There as nice feedback on hitting wires, it was simple to aim for them and then mouse and some decent amount to get into position.
A couple things I would say though is that the mouse being stopped while aiming was a little weird, I feel like letting you do a kinda speed throw could be interesting,. Though that's hampered by the fact that it takes the aiming a second to catch up tot mouse. So I feel like if that didn't have the cooldown, and the rat was able to move while aiming the coin it could add some interesting speedrun strats I guess. Where you jump for it and manage to hit a weird angle and hit multiple wire at once.
Also an interesting idea could be interesting coin types. Possibly based off of different sizes of coin fr whatever. Where each size has some different perk, if you went more complex with puzzles at least. Ex. a (this is in Canadian coins cause it's what I know for reference) a toonie could be a big heavy coin that doesn't bounce a lot, but maybe it could.. push something down or knock something around. Kinda a "punch coin" I guess. Or a dime could be a tiny coin that fits through a small gap to get to a wire etc. and bounces quite a lot due to it's low weight.
One other idea could also be having some sort of situation where you need multiple coinsd. And so you throw one coin to hit a wire or something and have to lose it to some drain or something. And you have to sue another to hit the rest. Though both of those could be a little complex, and I do feel like the game has a nice simple gameplay loop right now. But they could also add some variety if handled right so who knows. All just suggestions.
There's some pretty neat ideas in here! It would certainly be cool to incentive better performance as a bonus as well as refining the controls to be more precise. While you can aim while jumping, there was the idea for letting you aim while running around as well, but I didn't have the time to complete those extra animations in time unfortunately.
Multiple coins in a level could be fun to design for, though it might make the whole "one throw" bonus idea a bit blurry, maybe it could be "minimum throws" instead...
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback, I'm grateful for it! (＾▽＾)
Cool game! Felt really good throwing the coin around! Love the concept of being a little rat and helping rob the casino! Really cool! Great work!
Thank you very much! o(^▽^)o
Great concept and beautiful mix of 2D and 3D graphics. Music and feedback felt fun, some enemies or a danger would contribute to the urgency of needing to get a hit on the first try (maybe a timer before you get caught by the casino?), but other than that, it felt great to play, well done!
That's really interesting! I am impressed with every part of the submission - Art/Music/Concept are great and it is so well-polished that I am a bit jealous :D
NIce job!
Aw thanks! :D
This was a really interesting platformer! I just wish there was something you could do to get the coin back instead of starting over. Good job! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedgein <3
I only wish I had caught it live, but I loved watching you play it! I feel like we should have put the level you got stuck on a bit further on, it seems like a fair amount of people found that one more difficult than others which came after... but I appreciate you giving it a good shot, getting the coin back more easily might be a feature to explore. Thank you so much!
very neat concept, art, and music!
Good game, great art and music! I feel like some levels should have switch their order since some early levels have harder mechanics than later ones. Also for me it's hard to say how it matches the theme. And just a little feedback about the character's movement: It's harder to play and get used to move a slippery character as a player.
Interesting game! A very unique interpretation of the theme, and it works very well! The platforming is honestly pretty fun too. The only thing is that the visibility is sometimes hard to work with. Overall though, I had a lot of fun playing. Nice job!
I liked your take on the theme and the presentation was great. Throwing the coin was fun but it would've been nice to have some variety in the gameplay. All in all nice work!
I like the presentation, but the gameplay wasn't challenging enough. I unintentionally speed ran a level when I threw a coin once in a level and I severed all the wires by accident.
I wouldn't recommend using ctrl as a key in a web browser because when I press control + W, I close the tab by accident.
One more nitpick, I don't think the game had to be in 3D. The intro with the casino machine opening was kind of cool, but with a game with this kind of gameplay, I would have preferred something more challenging.
Hi, I appreciate your feedback! I feel like for what we managed to complete currently, the difficulty is good, but ideally I would want there to be some kind of rating system for how fast you did the level as well as how many coin throws you did it in (since the levels can be completed with a single coin toss, you being able to sever all the wires at once was at least intentionally possible, but it would be cool if there was some kind of extra reward for doing so). More levels would allow for more exploration in terms of difficulty.
As for the 3D, that's more of an art style choice! We figured it would be cool to combine the two styles :>
pretty creative. Nice one
Nice style, adorable music. A little hard to control the player, but after few tries you figure out.
Thanks! (*^‿^*)
I'll be humming that track for weeks! Awesome stuff! :D
Thanks for checking it out! Loved watching you play it. You've got great commentary. \(^ヮ^)/
I couldn't figure out how to play. I had the arrow keys and space bar but then couldn't get to the second platform or see if there were any other controls. Bummer. I looks really good from what I could see
The controls are in the description, but basically you click and drag the mouse to aim and shoot a coin at the wires. Hope that helps!
Super fun gameplay, love the art ^^
Thank youuu~ <3
Cool game play, some small bugs and weird toss physics, but still fun to play. A way to look up would've been great for locating the wires. Rat has style!
Hey thanks! Would be nice to polish out the jankier aspects of it for sure. Rat appreciates the compliment on his style.
Very unique art, I liked the song too
Thanks!
Nice game, I like the concept of "inside a machine". Sometimes I had a problem to see where exactly the wires are. Game was smooth and fun to play. Good job with music and art, specially love the rat animations :)
Yea, fair point on the camera, it does get hard to see sometimes. Thank you for playing, I'm happy you liked it!
Neat game! Amazing art and music! Had a lot of fun playing this. Well done!
Thank you! Also had a lot of fun working on it :)
