The moment rats turn into a giant rat feels so satisfying.
What could be improved is that right now enemies shoot a few seconds after their death and barrels need to explode when you shoot them.
To conclude, awesome game with potential to build on it!
Nicely done, I enjoyed the experience.
Cool graphics and a nice rat controller.
It's easy to get lost in the sewers)
Oh and also...I'm proud of you to (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
The sounds and timings of enemies' deaths are a bit clunky, but it's just a nitpick.
The megarat model and rat's shiny red eyes are something else haha. Throwing a bunch of rats into enemies is satisfying!
Thanks for the game and congrats on 20 ratings ;)
Our Brainstoming board

super good looking entry! the look of the sewers is very nice along with the ambience, I also like the idea that the upgrade resource is the ammo and health at the same time, would love to see more rats evolutions
it felt a bit unfair that it was impossible to dodge the purple guy shot as he would fire even if i try to kill him super fast
very nice that there was a boss to beat and a micro story to follow
solid!!!

The megarat made me laugh so much hahaha
And the animation is very well done!
The only problem I had, the first time I played, I think I made a right turn, and I couldn't find any enemies
But the second time I had plenty!
Keep up the good work
Great job on creating something so enjoyable. Keep up the amazing work! :))
