Fun game! I found that killing things with jumping is easier than trying to melee them. Very cute story. I wish they had longer arms.

Trying to be unbiased... ...hehee, this was fun to play! Good job!

Great game! It did crash for me though when I threw an axe while really close to an enemy in the second area.

Very retro. Reminded me of old arcade side scrolling beat 'em ups, especially with the 'continue' thing. Couldn't beat that rat king thing though! Wow!

Nice take on the brawler, good vibe.

Good work with the story and the intro. The game is very fun too, but the controls are complicated to memorize. Nice entry!

Fun brawler! I couldn't figure a strategy to win fights tough, and seems that sometimes just being close to another mouse decreases my "cheese".

The game's quite hard, but it's also well-put together. Nice job.

Fun game, reminded me a Turtles in Time.

Impressive! Lots of fun playing it, cute mouse graphics and story.

It was a little buggy, the enemies would follow where you're stepping parallel to you so they couldn't get closer to you and you couldn't get them. Other than a few bug issues, good job!

I killed the first rat, then tried to run past the second and got stuck (we would both move at the exact same time and couldn't move up or down to get closer to each other)

Nice game! It was kind of hard meleeing the rats with the prison shanks, but then it got kind of easy once you figure out the timing. The graphics are great!

fun one. nice job.

I like the overall feel and the idea, but the gameplay seems a little simple. The beginning was too easy for me, but the boss was fun, nice work! I also liked the retro feel of the game.

Cool game. The fighting is harder than I expected. The graphical style is nice and the music gives the game a nice mood. The only minor complaint is, that the camera lacked behind a bit. I would have liked to see more in front of my rat. Still a good entry!

Good graphics and nice audio. Needs a little polish here and there but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Well done!
