This is an interesting idea. The pixelart of the characters is lovely and the background sound gives it a nice vibe. Unfortunately I could not figure out too much of the interactions. I know that you can plant flowers to feed the rats, and you can place poison to kill them. You can also burn everything down, but appart from that I am not sure what else to do. I don't know if you can at all interact with the red monster. With a bit more polish and maybe some clearer instructions this could be a really fun experience.

Thanks chum.
I was very proud of the way the pixel art & sound came out as well.
I definitely under budgeted time when it came to stuff like tutorials or menus, those areas for sure needed more time in the oven.
Its largely just an ecosystem sandbox. What you do in it is up to the player, And yes, a lack of ability to affect the predator population is another glaring issue I'd fix if I had more time.
