omg I just realized u made windowsill which I want to get and switchblade which is a game that I loved plus u made break the tower (which I couldn't play for long before my Mac reloads the page) this one doesn't work but u make great games
Lesgo, I got to top 10. I just farmed diamonds for the first few levels, bought stopwatches for both rats and just started spamming them until I ran out xD
Pretty fun and It takes little time to get the hang of it. It's surprisingly strategic after that, you really have to double back and check what'll happen to your other rat.
my first rat had a heal and the second had a parry (slot 2), once i used these, a lizard that was supposed to be parried killed me (the gray one targeting the top rat)
It looks like there are enemies surrounding both rats. Both of the items in slot 2 are instant use, so you would heal on the first screen and prime the parry on the second, and then the enemies would attack on both screens. the right screen enemies would be parried but the left screen enemies would attack as normal and deal damage (and because there are two of them, you would take more damage than you healed)
update: probably top 11 score using that same strategy, just eventually ran out of money to stay safe from the hordes :mouse:
having two rats mostly just feels like a downside in my opinion, i have by far the best runs when i manage to just have one rat with good items and just try to get the other one to get to a staircase as soon as possible mainly because one of the few upsides of having two rats is being able to skip a turn by spawning ghosts but a lot of items do that job way better and easier
Saw this on the front page and randomly decided to play it--I'm so glad I did. What a phenomenal concept. Easy to understand (and just as easy to get addicted to).
This game is absolutely phenomenal, easily my favorite broughlike outside of Cinco Paus. Would love to see the addition of a local leaderboard. Will be playing a bunch more!
It's nice and cute but... The challenge is not very satisfying. Buying items is necessary as the enemies become quickly stronger, so you have to explore, to collect coins, but sometimes you just can't avoid being trapped. The enemies are smart and wait for you while they are close and on the same square color. That way they become a constraint on up to two directions on four total. Some more constraints, which easily happens, and you have to lose a heart. So with bad luck you lose heart over time, while spending time exploring is necessary. At the end I feel like I have to try repeatedly until some good luck let me go further than usual...
...but controling the two rats needs a constant focus which costs energy and becomes more tiring than challenging over a long time :/
thanks!
to be clear, enemies don’t wait for you when they’re close. rather, the elements of a room do not change when the rat in that room doesnt make an action (e.g. stepping a tile or using an item. bumping into a wall does not count as an action). the one exception to this is the ghosts, which move when the other rat makes an action. pro tip: you can use this to your advantage, by intentionally forcing a ghost to spawn on the other board, attacking that ghost will count as an action and change the parity of all the enemies, allowing you to prevent taking damage :)
it is undoubtedly a tricky game!
I already found the ghost waiting technique, but during that time you still have constraints on where to move, which often lead you to more constraints, and finally a dead end. It did save me sometimes, but as you also gather more enemies around during that time. For what I experienced, it didn't save me that often and sometimes you even lose more hearts at the end
A decent iteration on what I assume was once an original premise. I enjoy the multitasking element, really adds to the experience. I always look forward to your releases.

good game

Very fun! The rats stacking is incredibly cute, and I love the ghost mechanic!
found a bug, dunno what happened though
my first rat had a heal and the second had a parry (slot 2), once i used these, a lizard that was supposed to be parried killed me (the gray one targeting the top rat)

This was fun... after I break my brain in two hahaha fun concept
Show post...
wonderful game! ty
Great concept!
What this? dual screen single player?
enjoyed this a lot, sent over a couple bucks and downloaded but the .exe is not working at all :( not sure what to do
thanks so much, i really appreciate it! I’m sorry to hear that, it seems to work fine on my end. Are you getting any errors when it opens?
no, it just opens to a grey window and then it closes after a few seconds
Hm, that’s very strange! Do you have an email/discord/bluesky I could message to help troubleshoot this? (if you’re interested)
yeah! flurrabear @ gmail! appreciate you!
My loading :(
I like the design of the enemies and the rats, it looks simple but nice

thanks for playing :)
Nice game, really well done

Any chance for a mac build? Looking neat!
Is there any issue with playing it in the browser?
Hey! Would you be interested in letting us host and publish your game on another site?
عراقييييي

This game is absolutely phenomenal, easily my favorite broughlike outside of Cinco Paus. Would love to see the addition of a local leaderboard. Will be playing a bunch more!

very sigma game
This is really good.
❤️ I don’t think I would’ve made it without playing all your incredible broughlikes!

This is insanely good wtf
Nice game.
the angry bunny is too good
That's a really good idea!!
What a wickedly cool idea for a game! The ghost spawning mechanic to prevent sitting still is so good. I love the cute art too! Awesome job!
