Fun idea and I love the silly presentation! I could see this becoming a fun full stealth game in the future! I hope you continue it in the future because I really liked it! Maybe add some silly stealth music and a title screen too.

This is a good-looking game, and totally within the role reversal theme. I got to the level with the cams turning off! It was hard, and I wish there was some way to tell when I had a cheese ready to throw. Rat movement was unpredictable too, sometimes not following cheese.

Clever idea and fun gameplay.

I like the way it looks too!

Not as easy as I expected at first (which is a good thing!)

Super fun game! Some levels were definitely harder than others but still was all around a really good time.

A bit confusing the first time I played it, but once you get to understand it, it is quite nice! Good job!

A lovely reason to enjoy game jams.

Here is my playthrough (not even close to 0:48 🤡):

10/10 clown puns

The art style alone is really great! Some of the guards have some tricky patterns, but other than that I really enjoyed your game. Not 100% sure about whether it fits the theme in my eyes, but that doesn't matter to me as the theme to me always is more of an inspiration than a super tight restriction. :D

I like the reversed stealth game concept, but the fast rotating movement of the rat makes it hard to predict where it is going and follow it. The paper style of the game could also be very interesting when being worked out further!

I love to honk!

Superb concept, 100% in keeping with the theme!

What a cool and unique take on the theme! Love the overall aesthetics of the game, very well-done!

Damn life is hard for a clown... a little hard anticipating the rats movements but otherwise really cool!

Using paper / handdrawn art (I assume), is great. Game is a bit difficult, but really fun.

Love the concept and art! Had fun playing through the game, short though it is.

By taking about 3 minutes I might have not have made first place quite yet, but I had a great time playing through this game.

As a tester for this game, I’ve quite enjoyed my time with it. Good sprites and quite responsive gameplay, just the guard in the big room which is kinda bullshit. Regardless I got myself a (probably temporary) world record (I believe) of 48 seconds, so this means this is the best game of all time. 9/10, not enough rats but since I can cheese (pun intended) my way through most levels, 10/10
