This is our very first game. We are all newbies, so sorry for the quality of the game.

The game is about a rat who fell into the sewer, and now he needs to get out of it.

You will need to collect all the items to win.​

For character movement, use the W, A, S, D keys

To attack enemies or objects, use the left mouse button. You need to target an object to hit it.​

To pick up items, use the E button

Собирать предметы по карте очень простая идея, но вы старались в правильном направлении. Видимо вы не успели, но мне всё равно принесло удовольствие хоть чуть чуть изучить локацию в этой игре. Спасибо вам за старания

Congratulations for your first game! Personally I think the goal of game is hard to recognized at the beginning, I don't know that why I have to walking pass the posion area(in fact the reason is collection of TV),maybe this goal should be revealed earlier in game or some place. And nice job guys.

Fun game! I love the artwork, next time I'd like to see some animations and visual feedback when the player does things like attack, etc. :smile: Great first game, hope to see more from you guys!

Nice work, especially for a first jam! Many of us don't even get to playable our first time around, so I think you ought to be proud of yourselves with this!

I think some quick sfx would really liven it up next time (sfxr is always a good option), give the interactions a little more impact without having to do animations for all of 'em.

@justuspan We just didn't have time to finish everything, so even if you die, the game is still won. And the exit button doesn't work either. But thanks a lot for the comment, it's very important and pleasant for us.

Nice graphics — especially impressive for a first game! 👏
The obstacles are clear and easy to recognize, and the overall atmosphere works well.

However, the final objective (the exit) isn’t very obvious. Adding a small text or visual hint above the exit would make it much clearer what the player needs to do once all the items are collected.

Also, I’m not sure if there’s supposed to be any sound, but in the Linux version I didn’t hear anything — maybe worth checking if the audio is working properly on that platform if there is sounds

I really love the artwork. I won! Took me a sec to realize I needed to use the mouse to destroy the objects. I agree with the other feedback that some sound effects could really liven up the game.

it's a very good game for first experience , but the truth is not enough additional visual effects and more interesting filling of the labyrinth . You are moving in the right direction , so I wish you good luck in further projects!

First of all loved the art, if you guys have enemies (based on your post) it would be nice to play the game out more and see them. I just collected every scrap that I saw and ended up at the win condition before I got to that point. For a first game its great though, keep it up!

@kazetheroth thanks for the comment, we just didn't have time to implement the sounds and music, but everything is progressing already.

@hydratini Thank you so much for your words, our artists will appreciate it, we just didn't have enough time to make enemies, but we will finish them in the future.

For a first game, completing it is already an achievement. Taking that first step into game development means a lot — it’s the beginning of something great.

Great work! Loved design of the rat and the location! I wish your game will grow bigger in the future ;)

Even without animations, the art on the character and some of the scenery is great! The gameplay is a bit simple but, for a first game, and in a short jam, that's a nice result!

прикольная игра мне понравился дизайн мышки, совет если вы хотите добавить поворот персонажа добавляйте либо в сторону движение либо в сторону мыши, а так мне понравилось исследовать локу, я даже 2 раза игру пере прошёл, уж не хотел с мышкой расставаться так быстро

Интуитивно понятно управление, но я не понимаю радиус объектов, которые наносят урон. Хотелось бы обучение в начале что делать и какие объекты обходить стороной

Интуитивно понятное управление. Арт честно на любителя. В будущем можно добавить побольше уровней и разнообразие предметов.
Молодцы, работа хорошая!

Congrats on your first game! Making something playable with a complete loop in a weekend isn't easy, but you did well.
