Loved the idea of being a lab rat!

I wish I didn't have to start all the way at the beginning after a failed section ;)

That was a neat game. The idea was really clever

Reminded me of WarioWare games.

Fun game, you captured the mood of being a lab rat really well :-)

Developer

Thanks so much for checking it out!

Enjoy the idea and the opening - the fact that you get a new number each time is a really nice touch. The game feels like with more time it could be more evocative - making people consider the rat dying as their fault and having consequences. For now it hits the same note most of the time - but it is a good one: urgent action on pain of death. I thought the dancing minigame was funny too :)

That's an awesome idea! Thanks for playing :D

Fun! Portal vibes but with lab rats .. :D Checkpoints would probably be a nice idea to add. Very cool idea, solid entry!

This is a fun game, though it could have greatly been helped by checkpoints and further player feedback/ instructions

Painful having to restart after each mistake but the game is very fun and has a charm to it.  You need to add the pck file for the windows version to work aswell. Anyhow very good rat game :D

Developer

Thanks for being patient and trying the pck trick. I'm going to take more time for playtesting and tidying up the page in the future!
