The game looks cool but I had no idea what was going on. Better in game feedback would be very important. What rats am I currently controlling? What is the goal? What do the ores do?

… Did I just commit rat genocide?

Interesting game. I think I killed all the white rats, but there was no feedback that I had achieved some sort of goal, so I’m not sure I actually did what was asked of me? Also never quite understood what the ore was for.

Controlling mobs of rats like this is fun, but when I selected too many rats at once, the game stuttered quite a bit (~ half a second I would say) when choosing a target. I guess it runs some slow pathfinding algorithm for every single rat? I wonder if there’s a better way to do this, for example have some precalculated paths for a couple of nodes and just look for the nearest ones or something like that?

I quite like the visuals!

Feels pretty unfinished, but might turn into an interesting game. Though I would advise to have a little more theming than just “kill everyone who doesn’t belong to our group”.
