This has some really old-school vibes to it :) from the movement to the graphics and the gameplay, I like it !

Definitely old-school though -- would have liked to see that taken further. :)

I really like it! It's like a classic arcade game. Just one question though, don't the rat die either way because the poison flows in all directions?

Yep the unity web version gets a little to heavy from 4 level on but hey it's quite a nice game. Take it further!

Thanks for the feedback everybody! I had a blast doing this and I'll definitely want to explore the mechanics and gameplay further. And of course it might be a good idea to invest some time to learn drawing some nice pixels...

Funny take on the theme, had the idea about some kind of mole game as well initially. Some juicyness to the movement would have helped, maybe a particle when your digging away earth. I really had some fun moments.

Look, behind you, a three headed monkey! I could have been a programmer .. oh, wait, I'm a programmer and I'm reviewing your game. Had a good fun playing it, thanks!

Fun! I liked the water "physics" a lot :) You can dig an underground lake for the poison to go there giving you more time to get to the carrots :)

Generally good. Not exactly polished, but the idea is very successful, in my opinion.

Reminds me of something on the Spectrum or likewise. I like the basic consideration of where to break the surface and set the farmer against you - it's a heist game.

It's like some kind of action version of Pipe Dream, and I love it =D An "upgraded" version with simulated water would be really neat and present some interesting puzzle challenges. One of the best games I've had the pleasure to try out during this LD-event ^^

The music could be a little quieter though. Started of nice and after a few moments MY SPEAKERS SCREAM AT ME!!!
Since I can lower my speakers it's not a biggie, but I felt I had to mention something to improve upon ^^
