My favorite submission of the jam so far. I had a lot of fun playing, and I feel it can be expanded upon to create something very addictive and fun to play. Didn't run into any bugs.
31 floors is a great result! Thank you very much for the review 🙂
wonderful!! i love the sense of humor!
Thanks, I always try to put a creepy/funny tone in my projects 😄
This caught my eye when you posting in the discord and the finished game is really nice! extremely good vibes and very polished overall. My only wish is that I wouldn't get the same event on both cards, but seriously great work.
Man, I'm sorry! I had a solution in mind for this duplicate card issue, but with so many things in mind to implement, I ended up forgetting 😅 Thanks for the review, I'm happy you liked it!
Hey, it happens! I have a list of literally 50+ things I never got to by the deadline lol. The package as published is great and I hope you're proud 🤘
stunning. great visuals, great audio, amazing ambiance. surprisingly polished for a game jam! your submission is definitely amongst my top 5. my only complaint is that there is no endless mode!
Thanks for the review, I had plans to implement an endless mode, but I ended up giving up because I didn't know how the browser would behave with a very large number of floors/mice on the screen. Maybe in the future with more time to test 😁
I mean... this doesn't even look like a jam submission, the game feels and looks spot on!
My best was 37!
Great presentation, graphics are cohesive and very charming! The music fits the setting well and despite having a confusing gameplay at first, I ended up grasping it as I played. Good work!
Fun Game. I Got 31 Floor.
Your submissions always have such a lovely artstyle that rides the line between comfy and creepy. Nice work with the squash and stretch / bobbing to give movement.
There is a really cool game loop here, since you want to grow the tower higher, but also want to keep it somewhat “dangerous” to keep a solid income. That back and forth made the game surprisingly complex!
I do wish there was more variety to the events, and that when events did occur there was a check to make sure that the 2 options were different rather than the same - as I had that occur a few times.
Thank you so much for the detailed review and your kind words LGWV!
I definitely should have fixed this duplicate card issue, I thought of a solution, but with so much on my mind I ended up forgetting 😅
Really awesome game, especially the graphics! The only thing I'd like to see changed is adding an infinite mode so I could just keep going up and up instead of running out of time.
Thanks for the review michld, I had plans to implement an endless mode, but I ended up giving up because I didn't have time to test how the performance would be in the browser after a certain amount of floors/mice. Maybe in the future 😁
The rat king conquerors all!
really nice approach, love the graphics and the sound!
Oh feck, I want to build a 10000km high tower for these cute rats!
well done! Love this game!
Thank you for the review and kind words Roughnight, I'm happy you liked it!😁
