Last year I decided to pick up this project again and with the help of my friend and spouse, the game is now called Rules & Rodents and it’ll be available Q4 2024:

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2923230/Rules__Rodents/

Itch.io: https://gravycrewgames.itch.io/rules-and-rodents-demo

This is a fantastic idea and game, really enjoyed it!

Bug has been fixed and updated :)

Game has now been updated! 2 Extra levels and an ending :) with bug fixes. Thanks again everyone for playing!

Changes:

• Added ending scene
• Added 2 new levels
• New SFX and UI tweaks

Bug fixes:

• Setting the fire rule before player movement now works correctly
• Empty rule and extra rule now flash at the same time
• Enemies no longer flip back and forth when stuck

Wow honestly thank you so much for playing my game and for such a lovely comment. I am a software developer as my main job but my passion is in games, and this is my 2nd game jam (and game) but first solo game jam, so reading comments like this gives more more drive to follow what I enjoy!

I’ll be updating it after the game jam, already added 2 levels and an ending :)

Haha yeah its meant to be 1 long rule, but I didn’t convey that very well! Thank you very much, I used the great 1-bit pack from Kenney with a few of my own mods :) thanks for playing!

Thank you for playing :) you know what… that actually sounds fun hahah future level idea!

Thanks for playing :) I’ve fixed the bug, so will be updated when the game jam is over. In the meantime, select the player movement rule before the fire one, as a work around!

Very sad game :( it is amazing this was made in 48 hours, the animation and controls were amazing.

Great use of the diversifiers, neat idea and well executed :)

I had a lot of fun with this! Loved the simple aesthetics and music, clever idea for a game jam, great work!

Very atmospheric and spooky! Had fun playing it

Wow, a great game for a game jam! Loved everything about it

That was a great tune, and also great work doing a rhythm game in 48 hours! I got really far, when it started doing multiple keys at the same time, my brain couldn’t keep up haha fantastic work!

Really satisfying when moving up and down! Loved the music too

Absolutely great effort making this in 48 hours! Cute main character and concept

Very hard but a neat little game, I really liked how you used the theme :)

This was super fun. I got pretty far! Fantastic work :)

Wow I would play a full game like this, great work for a 48 hour game jam!

Thank you for the amazing feedback!

Thanks for playing! I’ll fix the bug when we are allowed to update the game, cheers for the heads up!

This is incredibly impressive in just 48 hours wow. The graphics and atmosphere are top marks!

Fun game and simple concept! The physics are great on it too, nice work

I enjoyed that :) Was very hard not to collect the sweets haha, great work in 48 hours!

Was lovely and a fun idea :) I was a bad doggo though!

Wow fantastic game! Full marks from me, really impressive

This was tough! Played it for a while and couldn’t figure it out, will have to give it a whirl again! Great game, thanks for making it :)

Loved this, lots of potential to add more! Great idea for the theme

Lovely feedback, thank you!

Thank you very much :)

Found the bug, will be fixed and updated once the game jam is over :)

You can get around the bug by clicking the player movement rule before you select the fire rule

Thank you for playing!
