That's really cool!!!! It's a simple but addictive idea, I spent a lot of time trying to increase my score. Great job!
Gg for the submission!
Quick and fun game ! The highscore counter makes me wanting to play again and again to beat it :D Nice job!
fast passed running around in circles killing stuff a cat dream land of unlimited mice to play with.
Good job on your game.
The background and game style remind me a lot of that mario paint swatter minigame, in a good way! Was that an inspiration by any means?
Pretty cool arcade game, the color usage is great and the gameplay feels smooth. It does get easier over time, and at some point I knew I could go forever, which is totally fine, but I felt like I had little to no danger because there were so many mice. And as others mentioned, auto-attacking would be great as well.
I had fun though, got myself half a million point before I stopped playing. Good job!
You can check out my playthrough here if you'd like to (sometimes the video freezes for a second or so but it's just me clicking outside the window like a dummy haha):
I’ve never played any Nintendo games lol but the closest inspiration for this game was slither.io and i forgot to add a full screen thing, im glad you enjoyed!
Overall a fun casual arcade game, I really liked the very slight warping effect at the edges of the screen! it's a small visual tweak yet makes the game looks way more polished compared to if it wasn't there at all.
Is a fun frenetic arcade game.
My only point in counter is that the menus and score are hard to see.
yeah dealing with the color palette in the menus was a little bit of a challenge for me to make it look good
yeah, the 3 lighter colors of the pallete are nearly identical only can see the difference between then if convien with one of the other 3 (or some filter a scanlines effet thougt consume much time the first time you use it)
The high speed makes this game quite quick and exciting
Although i could've done with a larger attack radius
Good Game
Fun arcade-style high-score game,
having to click to attack was a bit annoying, but didn't detract from the experience.
Overall enjoyable, if a bit repetitive after a while.
(maybe a wave system with more unique rat types would help add variety in a post-jam version)
What there is worked well. It could use more content and auto attack instead of clicking. Check out my review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
Really simple but really enjoyable, the best combination!
Good game to pass the time. I like the visuals effects and the smooth camera movement. But over time, the game becomes very easy, it would be nice if traps or other obstacles would spawn on the level.
P.S. When my score was almost 800000, the game decided to die xd
wow I didn’t think anyone would get that far lol
Nice work for creating a simple but fun game!
I think the timer should go down faster, because I can literally spam the attack button when I am around rats without risks, but overall it's a nice little game :)
Very cool game, the visuals are really nice and the gameplay is fun.
Really fun game, eventhough the song is a bit short so the loop kinda gets annoying after some time :D
After reading the comment about clicking reducing the timer I managed to refill the timer to max by eating enough rats. I would suggest making it decay a bit faster the more points you get.
The visuals are good but maybe a bit too bright for my eyes :D
This could be a great prototype for another Survivor game :)
Add waves, power ups after each wave and increasingly stronger enemies and this could get an entertaining game for a longer while!
thanks for the feedback!
Fun gameplay and the visuals look great. At first I did not know clicking reduces the timer.
I love the looks of the game, but maybe you can add a cooldown or something to the attack because now there's not really a reason to not spam click all the time
clicking lowers the timer slightly, I didn’t make that very obvious \_(0-0)_/
I managed to only get a score of 11,209...
Great game! The both the gameplay and visuals are awesome.
Cool time attack game, but I will say as my only criticism, i found it VERY hard to tell where to clock to even start the game. Though i think thats a problem with my monitor idk
that’s strange thanks for letting me know, no one else seems to have any issues. What is ur monitors resolution?
1080p but its probably an issue with my contrast settings?Either way, neato game
oh yeah the colors were pretty close together, thanks!
Cool stuff. I was spamming attacks but then realized it was not the best strategy since it consumes the meter. Getting double/triple in one swing is the way to survive. 95919 =D !
glad you enjoyed it, good job!
