I thought it was an extremely well made game. I wish the game had a lives system  so you didn't have to restart the whole game after losing once, but I never thought slamming things with those blocks would be that satisfying. Questioning my own sanity now!

Excellent petit jeu ! A chaque fois, tu fais des miracles sur la PICO8. 

Et désolé, je n'ai pas participé à cette jam, je ne peux pas noter...

Un grand merci pour ton gentil commentaire !

Nice concept, and great art! a couple of tips: give the player more than 1 life, and reward them for hitting more than 1 enemy at a time with a block ;) The sounds were on point too, I enjoyed squishing the mice. Rated :)

Pico8 was an excellent choice for this jam, and the concept here is so clever. I thoroughly enjoyed this little puzzler, though some subtle music for the main game would have been the bow on this package.

Very well done, and holy cookies!

Fun game with good graphics :) I managed to hit like 3 rats with one block which was very satisfying! :D

Really simple, yet really polished! Loved the visual flair you added throughout, whether it was the level transition or the title screen. Gameplay-wise, very retro which has it's ups and downs. Wish it had a life system or something, as completing it took a while. Great work!

This games super super fun, its sort of a clone of that one arcade game (think it has a penguin in it) thats name escapes me right now but its a very very good implementation of those mechanics almost everything's on point

Awesome game, great work on art and sound. However its VERY punishing, not super hard, but punishing. Having to replay the entire game is quite the punishment for messing up, especially because of level 5. The punishment thing feels kind of retro in a way so it would have been nice to have lives. Game jams be hard tho, and this was still awesome!

Got to the end, it was a very fun game with a challenging level design (in a fun way) and well made sprites, animations and mechanics. Great game!

The game is really fun and interesting and the art is very nice too. I don't like that the whole game restarts when you die, I definitely would have played more if it didn't do that.

This game is fun. If i could i would like to download it as mobile.
