Rats! How was I so captured by this game, it's a great little piece

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Left click -> Right click -> Repeat. Still captured my mind for a couple of minutes. I like your art style a lot!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't really sure how to make it more entertaining so I tried to lean into the art more :)

You're art drew me to the game. The name too :D Somehow I also really dig the idea of  a one button game! :P

Submitted(+1)

nice concept, the artwork is amazing!

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad to hear that people enjoyed the art :)

Very cute. Had fun for the first while but it got boring fast. Nice game and love the rats!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game :)

Submitted(+1)

A really neat concept. the Pixel Art Rats look really good with all their Costumes! It would have been cool that they could do different small gestures depending of its class, but overall a nice experience

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad you liked the art, probably was one of the most challenging things :)

Submitted(+1)

I really like that you added small touches like the rats can go below the button stand and so on, makes it much nicer. Only problem is the extreme number of rats needed after a while. Very nice game.

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad you enjoyed it :)! I have to agree with you though, it gets tedious to continue to progress after awhile, probably something so should change if I continue to work on it, thanks for your feedback!

I could imagine combining different rats to get a higher level rat. That would reduce the number needed and add some extra depth, because you need to find what combination has not been tried yet. Just an idea.

Very cute little game. I like the idea a lot and i think it has great potential to be something really special. Maybe a mobile game where the rats go out and farm after you make them? Super nice art and gameplay. Well done!

Developer

That would be a nice idea! I’m glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your feedback :)

Amazing art,I Think its a very cozy and chill game, very interesting concept I was a little confused at what to do at the beginning because the tutorial blended in (my opinion), Over all great game and I really enjoyed, I think you should develop it further!

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the game :)

Rat gang!

I went up to Magic Rat, afterwards it takes just a bit too long to get next tier. :P

Very cute game all around, rat designs are adorable!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, that’s something that I should probably fix if I develop further,  I didn’t think I had enough time to try and make it more fun :)


I’m really glad you enjoyed it though!

Submitted(+1)

Nice, love the art and clear design 

Developer

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Cool game, the rat noises got a bit annoying because I spammed the spawn button, ooops.

Developer(+1)

Yeah that’s fair lol

There’s a mute button in settings to mute rats specifically though :)

Glad you enjoyed playing though!

Submitted(+1)

Yup, because of that there is no issue, but just noting that lol.

reminds me of crafting compressed cobblestone in modded minecraft. all this is missing is a rat dimension portal that you make by crafting all of the rats together.

this would make a great mobile game if you expanded this a bit.

maybe add a few other mechanics, like instead of just getting a rat by clicking the button, you get a random assortment of new rats daily, to keep people coming back. And give them not just peasant rats, give them a random assortment from what they've unlocked. And maybe you could leave special food out to attract certain rats.

oh also, i think this would benefit from adding crafting recipes for different rats. like maybe farmer + peaseant = a new type of rat. you could build a deep crafting system if you had some sort of logic behind what gets crafted.

i love the rats, could use some polish though. for example, if i click an area where two rats are standing, both of them get clicked.

I got up to scholar rat before i stopped.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I had some of what you suggested planned, but I didn’t think I’d finish it on time. Really glad you enjoyed it though!

Submitted(+1)

My only complain is that the game screenshots spoiled all rats we could make =c

Developer(+1)

Haha, sorry about that. I added the screenshots because I didn’t think people would finish it entirely.

Rats, yay

Awesome to see that there was a tutorial. Also loved the designs of the little ones! Made it up to the magic boy~! Great work!

Developer

Thanks! Really glad to see you enjoyed it.

Love the rat noises! Everything was explained well in the beginning.*Need to take notes ;) One of the best games so far.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!


I actually got the rat noises on https://opengameart.org, and figured it’d be extremely annoying to most people lol

Submitted(+1)

Love how simple the game is, i love collecting the goofy lil guys :3

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed it! I was really aiming for something simple so I’m glad it worked!

Submitted(+1)

I got up to 6 different rats. That got to be some kind of record :) Nice game. 

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad you enjoyed it! :)

Submitted(+1)

Who knew how many kinds of rats there were! Nice art + design with well explained mechanics, especially liked squashing a bunch of rats together all at once.

Developer

Thanks! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

The art was definitely a challenge, as I tend to be more on the programming side, so I’m glad to see people enjoying my art :)

Submitted(+1)

My favorite is the peasant rat and the miner rat! I hate that I have to crush them so much, but thats progress. 😔

Developer

sacrifices must be made for progress
My personal favorite would be the Mayor or the Jester :)

I’m glad you enjoyed it though!
