Summarise your game!
This is a puzzle platformer where you control the player character with one hand and the environment with the other.
The game tests planning, precise jumping and multitasking. You are a rat that underwent human experimentation, allowing you to remotely manipulate objects using the mouse (lol). Now is the time to make your escape.
Move with A, D or arrow keys. Use your powers by pointing and clicking with the mouse. Right click to "ping" nearby objects to see what's interactable!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The rat is shaped by humans to be a weapon. Now that it has broken free, it bears the burden of responsibility.
We liked the idea of giving a lot of power to something that's not typically dangerous. The rat and its kinesis are not inherently deadly - it's the intent that allows them to hurt.

You've created some really nice subtle world building in this, and the core mechanic works well with the puzzles. The difficulty spike with the spinning platforms was almost too difficult, but I persevered!
You must really not like rats (spinning platform section). Nice Game. Cool Concept.
Hehehe. Thank you!
Nice one! It's hard. I like the setting
Thanks!
How cool! What a fun and unique game, really stands out in the jam. It's got great asset and level design, a fun soundtrack and a genuinely fun set of game mechanics that are a tad tough to learn but really effective once you get the hang of them! Great work on this, I'll be following you for sure!
Thanks so much! We aimed to give the game a learning curve so this is great news.
This is a really fun platformer and the telekinesis idea is a great idea. I like the ping mechanic but the enemy spider can be finnicky and I'm stuck not sure what to do on the stage with the beam sensor vent.
Got past it - the collision was unclear. There's some really awesome ideas here!
Thanks for the feedback! It seems that level gave people some trouble, I think we need to explain the spider's mechanics more clearly.
