Very cool - I really like the look and feel, of the grid pattern on the maze. Makes me think of UV-ing. :-)

Well done, this is a really impressive prototype. I think the game has a lot of characters already and that the Rat can be a really cute character. I am interested to see what the relay part of the name is. 

When I first read the description I thought that the puzzle/maze would be very simplistic, but it's amazing how complex those few simple rules make the game.  I can't wait to see how these mechanics evolve as the game grows. Also for the LORE, does the rat get the cheese in the end or are they for ever chasing it into more complex mazes?

Super interesting! A puzzle game involving so many interesting ways to solve, the possibility of more interesting and diverse levels are endless! I can't wait to see what you finish with!

The cuteness of this cannot be overstated! Although I couldn't get the cheese to the goal. This prototype did a wonderful job of putting me in the fur of this cute rat trying to store its cheese🐀🧀 Is there going to be a timer?

Thanks so much! Not planning on putting in a level timer -- don't wanna stress people out or nothin

That makes sense😆

This is a very solid prototype! The cheese-wheel mechanics kinda remind me of the logs in A Monster's Expedition. 

Remarkably playable & polished for such an early stage in the jam. Well done squeezing in a player-evident endgame condition.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you add!

Looking forward to seeing more! I missed your project in the concept stage and just took a look back at it. I really like the idea of solving one of the puzzles and passing it onto a friend to do the next one!
