Hi guys! I think the graphics are great, but the combat is a bit unfair - it's way too easy to get hit by the rats, and kinda difficult to aim.

I agree with @jaimuepe, I think it's unfair that sometimes the rats hit you as soon as you enter the room and you can't really defend yourself. Still, overall it plays pretty nicely and it's also very funny to play as a poop. Nice graphics and music :)

Nice Idea! The graphics and the mood are excellent! Still i found it really hard sometimes to hit the rats. The menu is extremely cool in my opinion.
Good Job and really nice entry!

We wanted to give the player a little invencibility time when he enters the room but we ran out of time... The game is exactly what we created in the given time, bugs included xD
Thank you all for the feedback!! If you post here your games we'll play and vote it for sure

I've been waiting to play this game, I saw the early pictures and wanted to see where you were going with the whole idea, it's a fun game, cool music, the only bad notes I have are that, enemies are a tad frustrating to deal with in the small confined room, and I'd like to see some upgrades for the plunger. Great work, keep it up.

Loved the theme and humour and graphics. The gameplay is seems a bit limited as it stands. Took me a little while to figure out C was to change room, seems i had to hold it down for a little while to get it to work.
The music was kind of good, but I found got repetitive very quickly. Showing the controls in game on the first room was a nice touch.

Fun game visuals and music. The gameplay is a bit unfair but i'm sure it would have been better if you had a little more time.

¡Buen trabajo!

Hard game but still pretty cool and the graphics are great.

Liked the game. The main menu is strange to move in, due to the controls being from the characters view.

Like the idea, although fights were unfair (as previously stated; being hit as you enter a room is... not cool)!

That's a really great and well done game! It's basically a really good base for a great roguelite game. I had a lot of fun playing, however, as others mentioned, it was hard to control the character, and that made the combat a bit unfair. Plus, it would be great if there was feedback on hitting or getting hit, because most of the time I wasn't sure if I did any damage at all. Other than that, the game was really good, especially for a game jam entry!

Amazing! Maybe a bit too hard, but the graphics and the animations were cool! The concept is somewhat silly but i love it! (by the way thank you for rating my game)

As others have said, I think the combat could use a lot of work, but it's an interesting enough world and characters that it would be really cool to mix in some adventure/exploration elements too! So perhaps not every room is just about killing all the rats, but discovering new things or maybe finding a new enemy that you can't actually kill, but just have to sneak around (and would be cool to see more uses of the plunger)

I think there's a lot of potential here. The music was a bit too annoying because it got repetitive pretty quickly.

You gotta be kidding me. This is my goty no doubt.

An interesting game, but as previously noted, pretty buggy; there's not actually any reason to fight enemies, ever, as you can travel through closed toilets as easily as open ones.

It feels like, with enough polish and extra content, this could become like a sort of mini-Binding of Isaac. I hope you decide to polish it up a bit.

Hi, game looks great, song is very good. As noticed, you easily lose life points, but with some polishig it will be great. Nice work! If you have the opportunity, please rate my game - NUKEBALL - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/nukeball . You can play it on browser (WebGL).
